can you use glass rather than lava rock and if so does it decrease BTU? easy assembly for a single semi handy female?

Yes, you can use glass and it doesn't decrease btu. Fairly easy to assemble but very heavy. You should get someone to do the lifting. We enjoy ours very much. Hope this helps. We have glass in ours and it looks very pretty.

It comes with barely enough lava rock to cover the bottom. As a result I filled mine with glass and the radiant heat increased by about two-fold. It also now looks much better with flames emitting from the glass instead of looking at a metal burner. Assembly was basic nuts and bolts, had fairly clear directions included. Was handy to have a second person to hold the panels during the assembly process but not mandatory.

The stone has a male end, just push it onto one end of the tubing. The other end of the tube goes to the Ozone port on the side of the unit. I mounted my unit on the side of my cabinet, nice and high. And remember to always use GLASS when cleaning fruits/vegies or just making water. And with the stone on the bottom of the bowl, you may have to turn and rotate your produce. Keep some kind of ventilation going.

Takes about 20 minutes for rocks to cool. I believe you could use ceramic logs. I think that would look nice

As far as I know, the glass itself is not flammable. Mine is being used with a fire pit with propane fuel.

I'm sorry I'm not able to help you out on this. We bought the fire glass for an outside fire pit and did not buy enough to use. We have since sold the fire pit and gave them the fire glass in case they wanted to purchase more for their use in the pit. I think you may be able to look this up on-line and look for a description of the fire glass. I would hope they give a directions on where fire glass could be used. Once again, sorry I couldn't be of help.

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

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}

no rocks or lava rocks needed...just purchase gas in the small bottles available at Wallmart..used on pontoon with no problems

It needs to be used with gas. The glass does not burn and is pretty much just for looks in a gas fire pit.

I don't know the BTU output but if you look at the Amazon website where you saw the American Fireglass fire ring they show stuff that is frequently purchased at the same time. One of those should work.

I know you can use the lava rock and I assume the logs would be okay as well if you don't like the glass.

I don't thrust the legs (they are different than the ones in the product listing), but yes the glass are awesome you could put a hot (boiling) bot on top and no problem. I bought this because its wide surface and I use it on daily basis no problem (for hot or cold stuff!) the legs looks flimsy I didn't try to play around them but they hold an 8 quart hot (boiling level) bot filled with food without a problem. for me the product worth it...

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

I used 30 pounds for 30inch fire pit..They say not to but lava Rock underneath..I bought the cheaper glass for bottom and topped it off on top with same color of better quality and it worked perfect and looks wonderful.

Absolutely - you generally will run it on a very low setting - you are not after a bonfire but only some ambiance. I spent the money and put colored fireglass in mine and it looks great. Also, is you hook it up with a flexible hose expect to hear some whistling when you have it really turned up. It not the unit itself but the hose.

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

You should be fine doing that but I'd cut down the run times. The glass will wear down quick compared to the stones people are tumbling. Might only start with the fine grit as well.
