What type of sand is everyone using in this fire pit? I went to Lowes and they have sandbox sand or all-purpose sand. Thanks for the advice.

why and where do you use sand. I have a fire pit just like this one and it doesn't use sand?

I use " Lump Charcoal " It is wonderful and can be purchased at any hardware store. Also when you are done cooking just shut the grill lid and the vents and the fire will go out saving any unburned charcoal.

I'm using it for an outdoor gas fire pit. Works fine, but I'm experimenting with the gas vent to avoid blue flame.

All I used was play sand from home depot. While I was there I bought a roll of screen you would use to repair a screen on your window and filtered the sand through that so that all of the larger sand would not jam in the nozzle. I works like a charm

Good morning, Judith. The fire pit is made of 100% steel with a copper finish. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna - Plow & Hearth Customer Service

This is the fire pit that I have. http://www.lowes.com/pd_328162-53470-66035_0__?productId=3316662 I kept the lava rocks on the bottom as filler and used 10 lbs of the fireglass. It looks great!

We have a built-in fire pit outdoor on the patio. We use natural gas (propane). A majority of the fire pit is filled with lava rock, then we have the glass layered on top.

The kit we sell is the entry level sand set. Your suggestion is a good one and I will ask the manufacturer to see if they can do just that. Thanks for the question...

I have used starter logs, and small starter chunks. I do have a bed of sand and a charcoal grate at the bottom of the pit though to disperse the heat.

I love this fire pit. I have not had any trouble with the ashes falling out the sides. I do empty the ashes after each use, though.

I talked with the pool manager for a townhouse complex and he changed the sand out for a glass medium. He thought it did better than sand and would last longer but it cost more. I have sand in my pool filter because it was cheaper. It was my money vs the townhouse association money he was playing with. If cost is no object I would go with glass.

No I have both. Kinetic Sand is better, not as messy and the kids like it better. The moon sand I got smelled bad too.

I used water. Filled it up completely. I don't know that sand would be better, but the water held it in place just fine.

I put a dead Everlast bag and a dead Century bag (shredded cotton cloth) in ours. Sand is a great core material, but use small batches and make sure it stays put. Loose sand has ruined more bags than anything else I've seen.

If your referring to the actual fire pit I've had mine over a year. I keep it covered in the summer and store it away for the so winter. Very light to move.
