can you use glass instead of lava rocks?

I haven't tried it, but I don't see why not. No big holes for the glass to fall out through.

Lava rocks are supplied because it is cheaper, and easier to handle, due to the fact that the lava rocks will not cut because as a general rule they have no appreciative sharp edges.--- Just be careful with small kids around for preventing possibility of cuts, etc. {with the glass, that is}

I asked when I bought mine and was told by Camp Chef I could use fire glass in place of the lava rock.

I wouldn't. The glass isn't made for that. It's for putting on a hot plate with that'll only get so hot, not an open flame. It'll shatter.

We replaced the lava rock with stones. Here's the site. Looks 100% better. http://www.blazingglass.com/fireplace-stones/?gclid=COeatoCB9rYCFQpN4Aod710AlA

Fire glass is used over a propane fire pit. It is recycled glass so it doesn't really start on fire but lays on the burner and the fire comes through it and it sparkles. It looks like the fire is burning top of the glass. Some fire pits can't use fire glass but need lava rock so just verify that it can be used with your propane or gas fire pit. I think it has to do with BTU's, etc. not quite sure. When you turn off your fire pit the flame goes away. The glass will still be hot for awhile but no fire.

The base and top are about the same size and the unit needs a decent foot print. When moved it requires 2 people cause its just that stout :) We opted for the cracked glass fire too and added that on top of the supplied lava rock. I definitely recommend the purchase of colored glass :)

To my knowledge you have to have a fuel source such as propane or natural gas, the glass itself is not combustible.

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 it should work...you can substitute the glass media wherever sand is used!Merle

you can buy it in different amounts. I would suggest not using more than what covers the bottom of the bowl. We send 2 bags of lava rocks with the set and suggest to only use half of that.

Yep, you can cover it with lava rock...they send them with the package so seems odd that they'd even say that. It's a great product, we love it and use it often.

Yes I did it with mine. it does drop fat. So i prob wouldnt if you use fire glass. One thing, doesn't create the smokey taste of a real fire. So, it just tasted like a heated up dog. Still it was a bit of fun. :)

I don't think I would use glass or even marble. The WorkFit is heavy plus it moves up and down. I would use metal or sturdy wood.

I used wood on mine. Have not try fire glass, therefore will not be able to answer your question correctly nor honestly. Good luck..

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.

No you can't, there are many how to's and videos online. You need to do this in gradients. Use lava rock on the bottom below the gas tubes, and then use the decorative fire glass on top of the gas tubes. 10 lbs is not alot, I have a 18x6 pit and it uses about 6lbs of glass.

I think the glass may reach a higher temperature, because the lava rocks are porous and cool off faster.

We did use fireglass. We didn't buy enough to use fireglass only in our firepit, but did add it to the the lava rock. The glass looked very pretty the way the fire shown off it. I would have preferred all fireglass but unfortunately didn't keep the pit. Had we kept it, I would have put all glass in the bowl.
