Design and materials
The Sora model’s handcrafted UHPC construction creates a clean, contemporary aesthetic that suits modern landscapes and traditional gardens alike. With its simple circular silhouette, the piece reads as a luxury patio center or an artisan stone brazier while serving as a large circular heater and outdoor focal point. Kujira designs emphasize subtle texture and durable concrete finish, so the surface keeps a natural matte look without glossy coatings that can peel or weather differently.
Performance and fuel
Equipped with the HPC Match Light burner, the Sora operates on natural gas or liquid propane to match your backyard infrastructure and preferred propane fire feature setup. The burner is set into a recessed ring and comes supplied with tumbled Mexican lava rock for an immediate Backyard fire bowl presentation. Because the unit is 306 lbs and built from UHPC, it sits solidly on patios and outdoor pavers as a stable round garden heater and large circular heater for entertaining.
Installation and placement
Position the fire pit on a level, non-combustible surface with adequate clearance from structures and overhangs, following local codes for Outdoor gas fireplace installations. The Sora’s 50" diameter makes it best suited to medium and large patios, courtyard seating arrangements, and commercial terraces where a Luxury patio center is desired. For propane setups, plan for an LP tank location and safe routing; natural gas installation should be completed by a licensed technician.
Care and maintenance
Concrete UHPC requires minimal maintenance: brush off debris, rinse lava rock occasionally, and protect the burner from prolonged exposure to heavy rain when not in use. Do not use abrasive cleaners or acidic chemicals on the natural artisan matte finish. Periodic inspection of gas connections, the HPC Match Light assembly, and lava rock is recommended to keep your outdoor gas fireplace operating safely and reliably.
