Can you guarantee that this is actually Lava Rock?

I am no expert, but it looked like it could be lava rock. The rock was very coarse. I gave it as a gift and the recipient ended up returning it because the rock surface was too coarse for her use.

Since I didn't manufacturer this product, I can't say for sure that it's made of Lava Rock, but it sure looks like it is.

I am not a geologist, but I can say that it is heavier than it looks, and that the bowl and pestle are each one solid piece. There are grooves from rough milling around the outside of the bowl (as there were on the inside before it was seasoned), and the saw marks are clearly visible where the feet were carved out. It's obviously not some type of cast material. That is all I can say for certain, but I'd bet money it's genuine. Oh yeah, the bottoms of the feet are also polished smooth to lessen damage to countertops and things, and it shows a transition from the rough surface to the polished with no extra coating of any kind. Hopefully this is enough information for you. I am not a geologist, but I can say that it is heavier than it looks, and that the bowl and pestle are each one solid piece.

I gave it as a gift to my son and he loves it so I have no reason not to think it is authentic.

Yes! You can reuse it as Many times as you want. Ater you have the volcano ready you make the lava with home ingredients.

There is a door that slides out at one of the bottom ends where you place a propane tank (not included) and connect it to the burner. The set does come with lava rocks you place inside the burner area. With this heat wave going on, I probably wont test it out for another couple of months.

NO, it is not.. The sand is super cool but won't keep the shape the same way..

I don't see why you would have to...it won't hurt anything if you put the fireglass over it. It depends on if you can still see the lava rock and like the way it looks.

Depends on what type of lava rock you have, harder course rock yes. The porous Hawaiian style no at it would simple crumble away.

yes, the stone seems to be pretty indestructible. Just done drop it or sit on top of hot burner.

My lava lite did not appear dirty. It was clear from the beginning. I believe I would return it for another.

No! Weird, huh? It's actually one pinkish rock, more tall than wide on a round wood base. Electrical cord attached to lightbulb socket comes out the bottom back. Know that it comes straight from the Himalayans and it's pkgd in a rather flimsy box. I ordered 4 and none of them were damaged ;) Note that with humidity, they do "leak" salt so place on salt safe surface. Very pretty rocks.

We had doubts about this table but the company AZ Patio Heaters stands behind what they sell. Go for it but buy extra lava and some logs for the real look.

I have this and I love it.. it looks like a piece of granite actually - not a round smooth rock.. it's jagged and rough.. my yard and drive have gravel and big pieces of gravel so it fits right in..

I doubt it...there is a metal tube in the shape of a circle that the lava rock surrounds...if it were wood the gas would be right up against it. I'm not sure how that would work with any propane/wood combination, but I don't know a lot about it. Maybe someone else has a better idea :)

It's not for lava rocks. Truthfully I don't like the grill. I bought it last summer. It doesn't cook evenly at all. Must keep moving your food around on the grill top because one side cooks faster than the other. Buy another grill, you won't be happy with this one.

Yes I bought the blue fire glass and used that instead of the lava rock that it came with - it turned out awesome!

It looks like a polished black rock. If you have other black rocks around it, it looks natural -- but if you plunk it down in the middle of dirt, of course it's going to look out of place and fake. You can usually get a net-bag full of polished black rock in the garden section of a store to intersperse around the hide-a-key rock.

Yes, I have. The flame doesnt seem to break through as well but it works. Though the lava rock that comes with is nice, it gets dusty if they're moved around.

I don't know that it is, not ever using a pumice stone myself. I can say that this light-weight stone has a good shape and a nice handle so the leverage against the mineral deposit is good. I am very satisfied with it.
