Can it handle direct flame? I want cover the burner of a fire pit so I can fill it with glass nuggets.

I haven't tried burning this material, but I do think it will not hold up well with a direct flame. You probably need stainless steel for that.

Yes it will protect from direct flames, but the container will probably not offer great heat resistance. I would not expect it to protect photographs for very long if fire is directly on it.

Yes, you have to have some type of gas fire, propane or natural gas. The flames come up through the glass.

Yes ,you can use in a fire pit surrounded by natural Stone. You can put the ring on top stone. Just don't put stone on top of fire ring because some stone will get hot and pop sending peaces flying. Also try to cover gas line so it doesn't get damaged , burnt, or cut. This could result in gas leaks. Good luck and enjoy.

I'd have to see the application.. I wouldn't use it near a completely open flame but if draped over something as an insulator without being in contact with the flame I wouldn't see why not...it handles the temperatures from my Firebox with ease and only slight discoloration..

Can say for certain but as long as the wind isn't on the back (open side) I would believe it should do good. Between the burners having lots of small holes, meaning a stronger more pronounced flame(s) while a fairly tight/confined fire-box I cant see it effected much by wind. I would think it would be better than say an older more traditional H-Burner, in a more conventional and open BBQ fire-box of yester years.

I'm no expert, but I cannot think of a reason why that application is unsuitable. I use this glass in my gas fireplace on the living rpom. An exterior bowl or pit should be fine

I have a direct flame under my rock for sometimes an hour or more with no issues. Gas from your fireplace or gas from outdoor firepit is the gas and burns at the same temp. With that I don't have a degree in Fireglass or Fire. :)

Yes, as long as you don't slide it around because that would scratch the glass. Be careful when you set it on the burner.

Can the range server be placed on a direct gas flame on the stove. I want to boil water in it?

I would be very leery about using glass as a flat surface next to burners. Are the other two burners you use gas? Or are they electric? There is bound to be intense heat involved if the glass edge is anywhere close to flame or a heating element. I don't know if the glass is tempered or designed for such temperature extremes. Furthermore, this item has little plastic feet in the corners that could melt. I'm sorry, but without asking the manufacturer directly if it could tolerate this, I wouldn't do it.

Yes if it's not an open flame and you don't allow it to ignite by placing too close to the coals.

I'm using a different butane burner, which has a small flame directly under the glass. Your gas stove may melt the handle.

i'm sorry mine is set up for a portable propane burner,my opion is the rounded bottom wouldn't do much good,being stainless and a heat resistor,a flame would be best,i bought mine to make egg rolls (deep frying),in the summer,and have yet to use it,used my steel 14in the last time

I purchased two of these burners. They are awesome by the way!!! I purchased 30 pounds of fire glass for the two. It was perfect. For one, 15 pounds should be ok. Enjoy!!!

Honestly? I wouldn't use it near a flame in the way you describe. It's galvanized, which when heated, gives off seriously DEADLY fumes. Use at your own risk, of course....but it's also not a heavy gauge and probably wouldn't last as long as you need. I'd check into non-galvanized, heavy-gauge mesh with a bit larger openings. I hope I don't sound too preachy! I've had a run-in with heating galvanized metal and it wasn't fun.

Having used the pan, I would recommend that you cook as far from the direct flame as possible. Because of that, I would say to use a high heat setting. The pan does heat evenly so it might actually work.
