American Fyre Designs Phoenix Outdoor Fireplace

Overall Dimensions: 65" W x 36" D x 87" H

The Phoenix is American Fyre Designs' statement outdoor fireplace: a vented, full-size fireplace cast in glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC), with an arched firebox, a 16-inch bullnose hearth and a tall flared chimney that rises to 87 inches. It gives a patio or courtyard the focal point of a built masonry fireplace without the masonry site work, and it suits larger yards where the height reads as architecture rather than bulk. It ships in seven pieces that bolt together on site and takes the vented gas burner and log set of your choice, sold separately.

Installation Notes

Outdoor use only, on a hard, level surface. Vented models may not be installed under any overhead combustible material; keep 6" from the hearth sides and the rear to combustible construction and 36" clear in front of the hearth. Natural gas needs 5" to 10.5" w.c. at the inlet and propane 11" to 13" w.c. The fireplace ships on one pallet and American Fyre Designs recommends two or more people for assembly; pieces are heavy, so plan access to the back yard. In New York City, gas piping to an outdoor fireplace is a licensed master plumber job under permit, and we confirm placement and code questions during a design consultation. We install throughout NYC, Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the burner included?

No. American Fyre Designs packages the fireplace and the gas appliance separately. Pair it with a vented burner such as the G45 system, then add a log set or fire glass.

Can I burn wood in it?

No. Solid fuel must not be burned in this unit, and the warranty excludes damage from burning wood. It is designed for natural gas or propane burners only.

Can it go under a covered patio?

No. The manual does not permit the vented Phoenix under overhead combustible material, and its clearance table allows no overhead clearance for vented models. Plan it for an open-sky location.

Phoenix or Mariposa?

Both share the same 65" x 36" footprint, firebox liners and burner options. The Phoenix chimney rises to 87" overall, the Mariposa to 67". Choose the Phoenix for a tall focal point and the Mariposa where height or views are a concern.
