Fire KitThis is a Fire Kit — here’s what that means

In the box

The GFRC piece itself
Aluminium pan, pre-cut for the ignition
T&M .304L stainless steel burner
Gas lines, fittings and key valve
Air mixer for propane, lava rock, shipping crate

What you need on site

Gas: a natural-gas line stubbed to the spot, or a standard propane tank (not included — see the LP Tank Cover to hide it)
A level, non-combustible base that carries the weight
Auto ignition: a 12 V power feed to the pit for the igniter and WiFi/Bluetooth controller. Match-lit and push-button kits need none
A licensed gas fitter for the final connection and leak test — most local codes require it

Set the piece on its base.
Drop in the pan and burner, connect the supplied gas lines and fittings.
Have the gas connection made and leak-tested.
Spread the lava rock. Light it.

The kit

A flame on a pedestal

The Fire Column Kit puts fire at hip height: an 18-inch GFRC cylinder with the burner on top. One beside a doorway, two flanking a path, a row along a low wall.

It is the piece that makes a space feel finished after dark, without taking up the floor.

Why it earns its place

Beautiful, built to last, effortless to live with

Made to live outdoors

Cast in glass-fibre reinforced concrete — the material used on modern building façades. It shrugs off sun, rain and frost where ordinary cast concrete cracks, so year five looks like day one.

Sculptural by day, magnetic by night

Real presence even unlit. Eight high-heat colours — from Black to Grey White, with Beach Sand, Beach Dune and Coastal Blue between — to sit with your stone, decking or planting.

Lit in seconds

Choose match-lit for the simplest setup, or auto ignition: an electronic igniter with a WiFi/Bluetooth controller, so the fire starts from your phone. Runs on propane or natural gas, so it fits the hookup you already have.

Made by hand

Cast, finished and inspected one at a time

Every piece is hand-poured in GFRC and finished in your chosen colour, so no two are identical. The occasional fine air pocket isn’t a flaw — it’s the fingerprint of real, hand-cast concrete, and part of what gives each piece its character.

Before you buy

Questions, answered plainly

Can it stay outside year-round?

Yes. GFRC is engineered for the outdoors and handles sun, rain and temperature swings far better than standard cast concrete. For the longest life we recommend a fitted cover through heavy weather and the off-season.

Propane or natural gas — which do I need?

Either. Pick the gas type when you order and the burner kit ships set up for it. Choose propane for portability with a standard tank, or natural gas if you have a line run to the space.

What’s included, and what isn’t?

Everything in the kit: the piece, the burner pan and stainless burner, gas lines, fittings, the ignition, air mixer for propane and a bag of lava rock, shipped crated. Not included: the gas supply itself (a tank or a stubbed line) and the base it sits on. Fire glass is optional if you want a different look than lava rock.

How does something this size ship?

Free — by insured freight with white-glove delivery. Pieces are hand-cast to order and typically ship in 3–4 weeks. We recommend a second person for placement and a qualified pro for any gas-line connection.

I see fine pitting in the surface — is that a defect?

No. Small air pockets are natural to hand-poured GFRC and vary piece to piece. They’re part of the handmade character, not a fault. On-screen colour may also differ slightly from the finished piece.
