A Large Rectangular Fire Pit for Permanent Outdoor Gathering Spaces
The Mojave FPT-RT601M is designed for buyers who want a substantial architectural fire feature with generous tabletop space rather than a compact portable fire pit.
Its 72-inch length and 48-inch depth create a broad rectangular footprint, while the central 90,000 BTU burner provides a large flame presentation suited to patios, poolside lounges, courtyards, and entertainment areas.
The Mojave uses a 16-gauge galvanized steel frame with HardieBacker reinforcement and one-piece construction. The top is finished in porcelain tile, while the base can be configured in Stucco, Cultured Stone, or Cal Faux Stone.
Important before ordering: The Mojave is designed for stationary outdoor use. Confirm the installation footprint, level foundation, fuel configuration, delivery route, ventilation, clearances, and finish selection before purchase.

Planning note: The physical 72" × 48" footprint is only the fire pit itself. Allow additional space for combustible clearances, ventilation, seating, walking paths, service access, gas connections, and delivery.
Liquid Propane Standard With Natural Gas Conversion Capability
The Cal Flame Mojave FPT-RT601M is configured for Liquid Propane from the factory.
Factory Fuel
Liquid Propane / LP
Optional Converted Fuel
Natural Gas / NG after proper conversion.
Natural Gas conversion: Conversion must be performed by an authorized technician. Do not connect the factory LP-configured fire pit directly to a Natural Gas supply.
Propane Cylinder Planning
For Propane installations, the Cal Flame Fire Pit Owner's Manual identifies an LP cylinder approximately 12 inches in diameter × 18 inches high with a maximum fuel capacity of 20 lb. / 5 gallons and an OPD valve.
The owner's manual also includes requirements for regulation, pressure, ventilation, enclosure design, connection, and leak testing.
LP installation: Do not assume the cylinder can be placed anywhere inside or around the fire pit. Follow the manufacturer's enclosure and ventilation requirements for the final installation.
Installation & Site Planning
The Mojave is a stationary outdoor fire pit and should be planned as part of the permanent outdoor environment.
Outdoor Use Only
Do not install or operate the Mojave inside a home, garage, shed, breezeway, camper, tent, or other enclosed space.
Not for Moving Fixtures
The manufacturer's guidance states that Cal Flame fire pits are not designed for recreational vehicles, trailers, boats, yachts, or similar moving installations.
Foundation Planning
The fire pit requires a level cement foundation approximately 2–4 inches thick.
Professional Installation
Cal Flame recommends installation by a licensed contractor.
Fuel Planning
Finalize whether the fire pit will remain LP or be converted to Natural Gas before completing permanent fuel connections.
Delivery Planning
The substantial one-piece structure requires appropriate access and may require multiple people or lifting equipment for final placement.
Foundation Requirements
The owner's manual specifies a level foundation made from quality cement material approximately 2–4 inches thick (5–10 cm).
Required Foundation Characteristics
- Level.
- Quality cement construction.
- Approximately 2–4 inches thick.
- Stable enough to support the complete fire pit.
- Located where standing water will not continuously collect.
Do Not Use as a Substitute
- Combustible foundation materials.
- Loose materials.
- Gravel.
- Tile as the structural foundation.
- Uneven supporting surfaces.
Clearance & Ventilation Requirements
The Mojave requires adequate outdoor ventilation and appropriate separation from combustible materials.
| Minimum Distance from Flammable Materials |
24 in. in all directions |
| Installation Environment |
Outdoor, adequately ventilated |
| Overhead Conditions |
Do not install beneath a sealed overhead structure |
Final placement should also consider overhead materials, vegetation, wind direction, walkways, seating areas, and windows that open into the home.
Clearance guidance: Always use the complete manufacturer's installation instructions and applicable local requirements when determining final placement.
Black Lava Rock Fire Media
The standard Mojave configuration includes 10 lb. of black lava rocks.
Fire media must be suitable for gas fire-pit use and should be positioned so that it does not restrict the burner or ignition components.
Fuel restriction: Do not burn wood, charcoal, compressed logs, or other solid fuels in the Mojave. It is designed for LP or properly converted Natural Gas operation only.
Operation & Safety
Inspect Before Use
Inspect the burner, gas connections, fuel supply, and surrounding fire area before operation.
Outdoor Use Only
Never operate the Mojave in an enclosed indoor or semi-enclosed environment.
Keep Combustibles Away
Maintain the specified separation from combustible materials and flammable liquids.
Use the Correct Fuel
Do not connect the fire pit to a fuel type for which it has not been properly configured.
Protect Gas Components
Do not operate with damaged hoses, gas lines, fittings, or burner components.
Professional Service
Gas conversion and service should be handled by appropriately qualified personnel.
Care & Maintenance
Inspect Before Initial Use
Inspect the fire pit, burner, gas system, and fire media before first operation.
Annual Cleaning
The owner's manual calls for the appliance to be cleaned at least annually.
Qualified Inspection
The fire pit should be inspected by a qualified service person according to manufacturer guidance.
Inspect LP Hoses
Check applicable LP hoses for deterioration or damage before use.
Natural Gas Service
Natural Gas lines should be inspected and serviced by a qualified NG installer.
Avoid Pressure Washing
Do not use a powered pressure washer on the fire pit because forceful water can damage masonry-style materials and affect warranty coverage.
Cleaning reminder: Allow the fire pit and decorative media to cool completely before cleaning or maintenance.

Flame Authority Expert Recommendation
Choose the Cal Flame Mojave FPT-RT601M when you want a large permanent gas fire pit that functions as both a fire feature and a substantial piece of outdoor architecture.
Its 72-inch length, 48-inch depth, 90,000 BTU double burner, porcelain tile top, galvanized steel structure, HardieBacker reinforcement, and customizable exterior make it especially well suited to larger patios, courtyards, poolside spaces, and rectangular seating arrangements.
The most important planning considerations are the footprint, foundation, fuel configuration, clearances, delivery access, and final exterior finish. If Natural Gas operation is required, complete the authorized conversion before connecting the fire pit to an NG supply.
