Built from Corten steel
Weathering steel that forms its own protective patina outdoors, deepening from raw steel to a rich rust-brown over the first months.
Which ignition should you choose?
This is the decision people call us about most. All 5 options are the same 72-inch Coronado fire pit underneath — only the way it lights changes.
| Ignition | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Fire Glow | Push-button spark ignition with flame sensing built in. | Start it without a lighter, with the flame-out cut-off included. |
| Low Voltage Electronic (12V) | Full electronic ignition running on 12V low voltage. | Hands-off starting and shutdown. Requires a 12V transformer. |
| Match Lit | Lit by hand at the burner with a long lighter or match. | Simplest system, fewest parts to service. No power needed. |
| Match Lit w/ Flame Sense | Hand-lit, with a thermocouple that shuts the gas off if the flame goes out. | Adds a safety cut-off while keeping the system simple. No power needed. |
| Plug & Play (110V) | Electronic ignition that runs off a standard 110V outlet. | Electronic convenience where you already have an outlet nearby. |
Natural gas or propane
Choose the fuel your property actually runs on — the burner is configured for it at the factory, so pick carefully at checkout. If you are not certain what you have, call us before ordering.
Living with it
Corten is meant to rust — that patina is the finish. Expect run-off staining on light stone or concrete underneath during the first season. Follow the manufacturer's manual for clearances, gas connection and first lighting, and have gas work done by a licensed professional.
Questions we get asked
Can I switch from propane to natural gas later?
Fuel type is set when the unit is built, so order the one your property runs on. If you are between the two, call us first.
What is the difference between Match Lit and Flame Sense?
Match Lit is hand-lit with no electronics. Flame Sense adds a sensor that shuts the gas off if the flame blows out. Everything above that adds push-button or fully electronic starting.
Who installs it?
Gas work should be done by a licensed installer. We can point you toward one, and we sell to the trade directly.
