The Cazo Wide Ledge GFRC Fire Pit by The Outdoor Plus comes in 48- and 60-inch diameters. The 48-inch model stands 17 inches high; the 60-inch version stands 20 inches high. Both have a broad, flat ledge around a recessed circular burning area, with the bowl tapering inward toward a smaller base.
The 48-inch model has a 30-inch-diameter burning area and listed 105,000 BTU input. The 60-inch version increases the opening to 40 inches and lists 165,000 BTU. Moving up a size adds a foot to the overall diameter, 10 inches to the burning-area diameter and three inches to the height—not just a wider footprint.
Design & Construction
The Cazo is individually handcrafted in the USA from glass fiber reinforced concrete, or GFRC. Glass fibers reinforce the concrete body, which flares outward from its base to the wide upper ledge rather than forming a straight-sided cylinder.
Based on the listed dimensions, the ledge measures approximately 9 inches from the opening to the outer edge on the 48-inch model and 10 inches on the 60-inch model. Choosing the larger bowl enlarges the burning area and slightly widens the ring of exposed concrete around it.
The ledge width does not establish how much surface is usable while the fire is lit. Keep drinks, serving pieces and other objects outside the manufacturer's required clearances, and provide separate tables where guests need convenient access during operation.
Compare both heights with your seat cushions and the view across the group. The 60-inch model raises the surround and burning area by three inches as well as expanding the footprint. Check that difference with people seated, particularly where the bowl will sit between low lounge chairs.
Use the full outer diameter when checking furniture spacing. The smaller base does not reduce the space occupied by the ledge. Handcrafted production can also result in variations in color and texture, so request a physical sample when coordinating the finish with paving, masonry or upholstery.
Sizes & Specifications
The two sizes differ in diameter, height, burning-area diameter, listed burner input and suggested fire-glass quantity. Compare those measurements together when selecting the bowl.
| Diameter | Height | Burning-Area Diameter | Listed BTU Rating | Suggested Fire Glass |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48 in. | 17 in. | 30 in. | 105,000 | 74 lb |
| 60 in. | 20 in. | 40 in. | 165,000 | 132 lb |
Burning-area diameters describe the opening, not the burner diameter. Fire-glass quantities are suggested ordering amounts, not media-depth instructions. Follow the requirements for the selected burner and ignition system when placing media. Listed BTU ratings describe burner input, not a guaranteed heating area.
GFRC Finish Options
The Cazo Wide Ledge is available in 18 GFRC finishes:
- Solid finishes: Ash, Black, Brown, Chestnut, Chocolate, Gray, Limestone, Natural Gray and Vanilla.
- Metallic finishes: Metallic Bronze, Metallic Copper, Metallic Pearl, Metallic Silver and Metallic Slate.
- Rustic finishes: Rustic Coffee, Rustic Gray, Rustic Moss Stone and Rustic White.
Metallic and rustic finishes carry an additional charge compared with the standard solid finishes. These are decorative finishes on the GFRC body, not changes to its construction material. Selecting Metallic Copper does not make this a copper bowl.
Compare samples alongside the actual surrounding materials and allow for variation in the finished surface. Follow the manufacturer's care instructions for the selected finish before applying cleaners, sealers or other treatments.
Ignition & Fuel Options
Choose a natural gas or liquid propane configuration to match the planned gas supply. Six ignition options are available:
- Match Lit: Light the burner manually without an electrical connection.
- Match Lit with Flame Sense: Manual lighting with flame monitoring that shuts off the gas if the flame goes out.
- Low Voltage Electronic: Electronic ignition requiring a suitable low-voltage power supply.
- Plug & Play: Electronic ignition that connects to a suitable electrical outlet.
- Spark Glow: Battery-powered spark ignition without a separate lighter.
- Fire Glow: Battery-powered spark ignition with flame monitoring and automatic gas shutoff.
Select the diameter and ignition system before completing gas lines, electrical work or surrounding paving. Have your installer confirm supply pressure, gas-line sizing and power requirements for the exact configuration, including the increase from 105,000 to 165,000 BTU between sizes.
For propane installations, resolve the approved tank location and connection arrangement before completing the furniture layout. Do not assume that the larger bowl's additional height provides internal cylinder storage. Keep controls and service access reachable after seating is in place.
Decorative Media & Protection
The Cazo includes a fire pan or plate, burner, selected ignition configuration and lava rock. Optional fire glass changes the appearance of the recessed media bed within the concrete ledge.
Include the size-specific media order in the finished configuration cost. The catalog suggests 74 pounds of fire glass for the 48-inch model and 132 pounds for the 60-inch model—a difference of 58 pounds.
When ordering protective accessories, specify the GFRC Wide Ledge model and exact diameter. Do not assume that accessories for the Cazo Narrow Ledge, a smaller Cazo fire bowl or the hammered copper version will fit. A fitted cover must account for the selected bowl's 17- or 20-inch height as well as its diameter.
The manufacturer requires a breathable cover and warns against plastic or other non-breathable materials, which may stick to the fire feature. Allow the unit to cool completely before covering it. Keep the burner area, ventilation openings and drainage paths free of debris.
Placement & Installation
The Cazo is intended for outdoor use only. Have a qualified installer confirm the supporting surface, ventilation, drainage, gas connection, required clearances and any electrical work before the bowl is positioned.
Mark out the full circular footprint together with the manufacturer's required clearances. Check the arrangement with people seated and preserve routes between chairs. The tapered body and absence of corners do not reduce the required separation from the fire.
Check gates, steps and turns along the delivery route. Confirm unloading, handling and final-placement arrangements rather than assuming delivery includes installation. Plan the move before surrounding construction or furniture restricts access, and protect the concrete finish from tools and building materials.
For hospitality projects, provide the selected finish-care instructions to the maintenance team and establish who will light and shut down the unit. Preserve access for cleaning and service, and keep required circulation routes clear. Installation must follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable local and commercial requirements.
