Nova Fire Sculpture in Stainless Steel: a steel sphere with the fire glowing inside
The Outdoor Plus Nova fire sculpture in stainless steel is a ball-shaped fire feature in a 36 or 48 inch size, built from curved petal-like blades with open gaps between them, so the fire glows out from the center of the sphere. Stainless keeps its brushed finish through rain and heat without rusting, so it stays bright for years.
Burn firewood in it as it comes, or order it as a gas feature for natural gas or propane and light it with a match or a push-button igniter. Decorative gas burner ornaments are optional. Prefer a rustic look? The Nova in Corten steel weathers to a warm rust finish. The stainless Nova fire sculpture ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
Why pick the Nova in stainless steel?
Because the burst motif doubles when mirrored: the stainless Nova reflects its own radiating flame-light off a permanently bright shell, so the explosion effect wraps the sculpture. It never rusts or shifts color — the modern counterpart to the earthy Corten version.
Which sizes and SKUs does the stainless Nova use?
Two sizes on the spec tab: 36-inch (TFL-NVA36SSWB) and 48-inch (TFL-NVA48SSWB). Both are gas-fired and share the radiating cutout artwork; the 48-inch simply throws its star-burst light pattern farther across the patio after dark.
What is the lighting routine with Match Lit ignition?
Ten seconds of ritual: crack the key valve, touch a long-stem lighter to the Nova’s burner, watch the ring catch, then set your flame height. Prefer zero ritual? Order the Plug and Play (CSA certified) version and it becomes a button press.
Can we do marshmallows and s’mores over it?
Yes — the Nova’s steady, smokeless gas flame is the easiest toasting fire there is. Long skewers, adults minding the hot stainless shell, and a plate to catch drips before they hit the fire media. S’mores without smoke in anyone’s eyes.
How much gas does an evening cost?
Run low for shimmer and the Nova sips — several evenings per 20 lb propane tank is typical. Run tall for warmth and expect a few hours per tank. On natural gas, an evening costs loose change; flame height is your only meaningful dial.
Is an outdoor rug under the sculpture okay?
No — keep rugs, mats, and anything synthetic out from under the Nova. Even a gas flame radiates enough downward heat to damage or melt them. Stone, concrete, or pavers underneath; let the rug live under the seating instead.
Can my propane Nova be converted to natural gas someday?
The clean answer is to choose your fuel at order — TOP builds each Nova for LP or NG at the factory. If circumstances change for a unit you already own, contact us to review it; meanwhile our gas fire pit range covers both fuels.
