Sonoma Fire Pit: a deep round concrete bowl on a footed base
The Outdoor Plus Sonoma fire pit is a deep, round gas fire bowl raised on a small footed pedestal, about 48 inches across and 36 inches tall, cast in the USA from GFRC, a glass-fiber concrete that looks like solid stone but weighs far less than poured concrete. Even so it is a 455-pound piece you position once, and it comes in 18 finishes.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Light it with a match, or add electronic ignition and start it with a button. A key valve, canvas cover, stainless lid, bullet burner upgrade, and fire glass are optional. Want a flat rim for drinks instead of a bowl? See the Florence fire pit. The Sonoma fire pit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
Why does the Sonoma weigh 455 pounds?
Because it is a genuinely monumental piece — roughly 48 inches across and 36 inches of sculptural cast concrete. Even so, GFRC keeps the Sonoma far lighter than the poured-concrete equivalent, which would be immovable. This is the fire pit you position once, deliberately, as the anchor of the whole space.
What are the specs at a glance?
SKU OPT-SONMA38, footprint about 48 by 48 inches and 36 inches of height, 455 pounds, in 18 hand-finished GFRC colors from Ash and Bronze to Rustic White and Vanilla. Built to order for Liquid Propane or Natural Gas, handmade in the USA.
What ignition options exist?
Five: Match Lit, Match Lit with Flame Sense (LC certified), Flame Sense with Spark, Low Voltage Electronic (CSA certified), and Plug and Play (CSA certified). Given that the Sonoma tends to be a set-piece installation, many owners spec the electronic systems and light it from a switch.
How much space should it get from the house?
Plan the Sonoma placement around its spec-sheet clearances plus the standard ten-foot cushion from structures. Gas means no embers drifting anywhere, which is why a piece this size can sit surprisingly close to living areas — but at 455 pounds, get the location right the first time.
Is shutdown complicated on a big unit?
Not remotely — the Sonoma goes out the moment you close the valve, same as any gas feature. No coals in a pit this size to babysit, no ash. The concrete mass holds pleasant warmth for a while after, which guests tend to appreciate.
Is the Sonoma good for roasting marshmallows?
Yes — clean-burning gas makes the Sonoma fully marshmallow-approved. Its generous rim actually helps: skewers rest at a comfortable angle and several people reach the flame at once. Keep sugar drips off the media and the finish, and dessert is a nightly feature.
Can the 36-inch-tall Sonoma go under a roof?
A 36-inch-tall body plus flame puts heat close to any roof, so the honest answer is: only if the Sonoma spec clearances genuinely fit your overhead structure with real ventilation. Most installs give it open sky — which suits a centerpiece this size anyway. Compare formats in our gas fire pit range.
