The Outdoor Plus Julius 48" Round Copper Fire Bowl

Description
Description
Overall Dimensions: 48" W x 48" D x 15" H (per current listing)
The Julius from The Outdoor Plus (sold under its Top Fires line) is a 48 inch round fire bowl handcrafted in the USA from copper, with a 304 stainless steel burner and lava rock included. It is a statement piece for a terrace, pool deck or courtyard where a single sculptural bowl works better than a table. Copper is the reason to buy it: the bowl starts with the warm brown of new metal and develops a patina over the years, moving toward green, which also helps protect it outdoors.

What Is Included and What You Will Need
- Included: Julius copper fire bowl, 304 stainless steel burner, lava rock and the ignition system you select
- Required: a natural gas line or propane supply connected by a licensed gas installer; a propane tank is not included
- Electronic ignition models: a 110V outlet or switch (Plug and Play) or a GFCI outlet for the low voltage transformer, installed by a licensed electrician
- Recommended: a breathable cover; The Outdoor Plus warns that plastic covers can stick to its fire features
- Propane buyers: keep the lava rock. The Outdoor Plus does not recommend fire glass on propane fire features because propane can pool in the burn area
Installation Notes
The Julius is for outdoor use only. The Outdoor Plus fire bowl manual calls for at least 36" from structures, combustibles and non-combustibles around a fire feature up to 65,000 BTU, 96" of overhead clearance, and 2" under any valve box for drainage. Choose a level, well drained spot with access to the gas connection, and keep dense stone such as granite or marble away from the flame. Installation and gas connections should be handled by a qualified installer. In New York City the gas line must be run by a licensed master plumber under the NYC Fuel Gas Code, and propane at residences is restricted by the NYC Fire Code. Book a consultation and we will help you plan placement and gas sizing.
Documentation
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the copper turn green?
Over time, yes. Copper weathers naturally from shiny brown toward green, and the process takes years. The patina helps protect the bowl, and natural weathering is not covered by The Outdoor Plus warranty.
Can I use fire glass?
On natural gas you can replace the lava rock with fire-rated glass, about 50 lb, keeping media no more than 2" over the burner. On propane, stay with lava rock.
Which ignition is best?
Match lit needs no power. Flame Sense adds a pilot with a flame-sensing safety valve. Plug and Play and 12V Low Voltage allow a wall switch, timer or smart-home control.
Is the Julius still current?
We could not find the Julius on The Outdoor Plus website at the time of writing, so contact us to confirm availability and current specifications before ordering.
