Use as a luxury deck feature or a casual warm gathering area — the Sora balances clean lines with practical outdoor fireplace performance.
Placement, Installation & Safety
Place the Sora on a stable, level surface rated for the unit’s weight; confirm local codes for natural gas setup or propane installations. Because the unit is handcrafted and sealed for outdoor resilience, occasional inspection of the sealer and burner components is recommended. Professional gas hookup is advised for natural gas setup; follow all local regulations and the included installer instructions for safe operation.
Care & Warranty
Concrete surfaces benefit from routine cleaning with mild soap and water to maintain the natural artisan matte finish. Avoid harsh acids or abrasive cleaners that can affect the urethane sealer. The Kujira Sora Model is handmade in the USA and includes a 1-Year Limited Warranty covering manufacturing defects as specified by Kujira Concrete.
