Modeno Roca Concrete Fire Table
The SKIP — A 34-inch cast concrete round at $999 that puts out exactly the same 60,000 BTU as the $279.99 steel table at the top of this page. It carries the highest star rating in the whole category and the thinnest base behind it - sixteen ratings. Concrete genuinely outlasts powder-coated steel, so there is a real reason to buy one; the five-star average is not that reason.

Pros
- Cast concrete will not rust, which is exactly what ends the cheap steel tables in this category
- Doubles as a patio coffee table with the lid on; decorative lava rock included
- Propane or natural gas option, and the seller states CSA and CE certification
Cons
- SAME 60,000 BTU AS THE $279.99 TABLE AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE — you are paying 3.6x for the material, not for warmth
- 5.0★ on SIXTEEN ratings: the best-looking number in this category sits on its thinnest evidence, which is exactly backwards from how a rating should be read
- THE BASE IS NOT JUST THIN, IT IS OLD — the newest visible review is April 2023, and the rest are 2019 to 2021. Nobody has reported on this table in over three years
- Only 3 left in stock at the time of writing
- Modeno is a line of Elementi, not an independent brand, so cross-shopping the two is not the second opinion it looks like
“We purchased our first fire pit from Costco, and it rusted out in 2 years. By rusted out, I mean the entire floor pan that holds the ignitor, the burner, and the rocks, just dissolved away in rust. The fire pits from Modeno, while more expensive, all have stainless steel pans and burners.”— Dean, Amazon · Verified owner
FAQ
Who is the Modeno Roca Concrete Fire Table for?
You specifically want cast concrete and have decided the material is worth $700 over a steel table — which is the only honest reason to buy it, because it is not the heat and it is certainly not the rating.
What do owners say about the Modeno Roca Concrete Fire Table?
5.0★ across 16 owner ratings (Amazon, read August 2026 · too thin to judge).
What is the warranty on the Modeno Roca Concrete Fire Table?
1 year (limited)
Record
- — Re-read for the concrete ring: still 5.0 stars across 16 with nothing since April 2023, now about $800 on a deal with 18 left; its spec block confirms GFRC — real concrete — which separates it from the painted MgO composite the UPHA is made of. The SKIP stands on evidence, not material.
✓ Safety: no active recall — No active CPSC recall found (checked August 2026 via the saferproducts.gov API; the query returned two historical fire-pit-table recalls - Sunjoy/Big Lots 2020 #21027, burner-kit hose can melt and ignite; Yayi/Home Depot 2018 #18104, bowl base lacks a heat shield - neither on this brand. Positive control returned results in the same session.)
