Can you use this glass in the homemade concrete block fire pits?

The glass works perfectly with my natural gas firepit with 30" ring and it is very beautiful.

Probably not. . .I have a 10x14 wooden deck, and I put four small patio cement blocks under the bottom corners to prevent the heat from possibly touching the wood. This fire pit gets a lot of airflow, so the flames can suddenly get really high.

I purchased a 10-Pound Reflective Fire Glass, 1/4-Inch, Copper. Fits perfect. It's stunning. *NOTE: Be careful when adding glass to the fire pit. The dust clogs the gas holes. We had a take half out, blow it out and carefully place back. Wah-lah. Perfect!

I use this fireglass in outdoor gas firepit. My original setup was lava rock and log but this is much classier and beautiful to watch. I used some of the lava rock on the bottom as filler, used and purchased much less of fireglass as a result. HY

Not sure what you mean by fire glass. It comes with a pit in the center where the lava rocks go. However, you have to remove the granite lid to use the fire put.

Yes, you can use in a stone fire pit. You'll have to have a small hole towards the ground for the hose hook up or a gas line.

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.

Since it is borosilcate glass, the same type used in lab beakers, it should be flameproof. However, I have not used it this way so cannot speak from experience. Also, the walls are not thick, so the very brittle nature of the material suggests it should be used with great care on a stovetop.

I would not advise using in a regular fireplace for two reasons; the smoke will tarnish the glass and the burnt embers would mix with the glass.

We use the fire pit glass for our outside gas fire pit and we LOVE the glass and the color. The glass that we received didn't smell, as for the edges we were able to move it around with our bare hands. It's nothing like when you shatter a drinking glass or window. I would go look at it but we have a lot of snow on top of our patio covers that protect our furniture. We are actually going to buy more to fill the bare spot. I hope this helps.

You could but, if it were me I would not. The heat from an open fire could possibly cause the granite porcelain to shatter off of the pot. Best to go with cast iron or copper.

I initially used too much in the fire pit bowl and it made it difficult to sustain a flame. Make sure that the glass isn't smothering the holes in the flame ring. That should be enough.

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.

No you cannot. It's a composite material that would not stand up to direct flames in my opinion.

The fire glass is to be used in a gas fire pit using propane or natural gas.

Yes but you would probably need yo change the grate that the lava rock sits on as it is pretty wide for glass rock

I actually work for a glass company, so the criteria for tempered glass being used in a chiminea or any other fire pits are that tempered glass is safe up to 400 degrees. Anything over that could make it "blow up" in smaller pieces, not safe..... hope this helps!
