Can you substitute rock instead? Have seen some units that do this. Thanks!

I did not try it, i prefer the glass pebbles. You can purchase lava rock from any home depot/loews store.You should find them in the outdoor grills section.If you are thinks real rocks (river rocks..) i would just arrange them so as to get good gas flow distribution.You can get river rocks/peebles from any lawn and garden outlet.

It's set up like all gas fireplaces, any substance that is made for fire will work fine.

I suppose you can, but...you really should try the pebbles first. After dark, they look like a collection of boiling crystals. The only fear I would have about the rock is overheating, and the affect that would have. Good luck!

The unit comes in 5 separate boxes. It takes about 15 minuets to assemble after unpacked. Straight forward assembly. It comes with about 2 pounds of clear fire glass - I added 4 more lbs of different colors for a sunburst design in the fire glass. You could add lava rock, etc if you want to, but it looks really cool with just the fire glass - the clear glass looks liquid with the gas fire on.

I have never thought of doing that. The tray tjat holds the rocks is deep you would need a lot of glass but it would work.

There is a lip around the base of the 'rock' with a few holes drilled where you might be able to anchor it down with some thin stakes or bent pieces of wire. That would be if you place it in an area where you can drive the stakes into the soil. The rock does not come with any stakes or pegs when it is shipped to you and it is relatively light and would be blown away in a strong wind if it is not anchored down.

Yes. Wrap the rock loosely in any fabric - towel, rag, whatever - and smack it with a hammer. Be careful not to have too much fun with that or you will have lots and lots of little rocks.

I just use a flat rock if I need something under my kickstand. We have a lot of flat rock here. ☺

You don't want the "soft rock" for hard water, as that is for soft water specifically. If you order the "hard rock" it works great, or any of the regular ones with two scoops per load instead of one scoop will work in hard water.

Dear Lord no - just submerge the end in the water and make sure the other end is lower down(preferably in a pail) and move it vertically up and down (in a pumping action) and it will force the water flow and then you can start stirring up the rocks etc

Good morning Janice,At some Rock Quarry for for away. I had to be humorists at least about it. Anyway I really am not sure and may have been China for it has know markings and I trashed the papers on it. I do know it is a work of art and if you buy it that sucker is heavy so best call a crane company for assistance. If your going to leave it in one place you will be all right but moving it around may get old quick. We use it for setting our crock pot and Dehydrator on that reaches temperature of up to 400 degrees. It is so far well worth the money and sure you will like it. Hope this info helped.

Yes. But be aware that I only used mine for one season and the bottom is already showing signs of tearing/ripping and I just used mine on pavement, no rocks. Personally, I would steer clear of this one.

Stephen, Yes - I think that would work fine! Longer lag bolts would do the trick, compensating for the thickness of the sheet rock.

No Rocks came with mine Elaine! It came with fasteners for the base to secure it in the earth. I use it as a birdbath and put a rock in it with an electric ice melt for winter watering! Good luck with squirrels! They are everywhere!

I don't see any reason why not, but the rocks look and work really good other than they are pretty dusty.

Depends on what you are screwing into. Also depends on the depth that rock is drilled into. I suggest 2 1/4"-2" screws. You'll have to provide your own

Good question, I have not tried to do it with another brand. Does the manual have anything in there regarding this?

I received this Email from Blue Rhino: Thank you for your email today. We do not recommend for you to use the Glass instead of the Lava rocks, this unit has not been tested using anything else other than the Lava Rocks. Thanks.
