It adds a warm glow to your outdoor space and requires much less effort thanbuilding a fire pit.
This will create a drainage hole when you add the concrete.
If the containers are not oiled, the concrete will adhere to the plastic mold.

Avoid shoveling concrete over the pipe opening.
This will provide extra support inside the finished concrete “walls.”
Cover the concrete bowl with a sheet of plastic; let cure for three days before you move it.

When hard and dry, file the top edge of the bowl smooth.
Add Stones and Fire Gel
Fill the concrete bowl with fire-safe decorative stones.
If you prefer, the concrete is also safe to use with logs.

Safety Tip:Cooking food, including marshmallows, directly over a gel fuel flame is not recommended.
If you plan to use your fire bowl for cooking, use real logs instead.
