I have several questions.....How do you start the fire glass? How long does it burn? Does it burn out or can it be extinguished, if so how?

It doesn't burn at all... You have to use it in a Gas Fireplace or Fire Pit.When you turn off the Gas it goes out.

The glass doesn't burn at all . It's just for the looks. First of all when there's no fire the glass just looks good especially this color. When the fire is burning, the flames also looks good coming through the glass. Other than that the glass is hard and will not change or burn at all. It stays for years and years.

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.

Your not actually lighting the glass. Your glass covers a burner hooked to natural gas or propane. The gas comes up from under the glass and you light the gas that comes from underneath and the fire stays on top of glass...

I don't have a propane fire pit, I use the gel fuel. I replaced the stones with fire glass and it looks much prettier than the stones that came with mine. but yes, they do turn black around the flame. I just add more glass on top and eventually replace the black glass with new glass. If you are thrifty, you can probably clean them and put them back in, but I'm too lazy for that:) I will probably collect the black ones and save them and try to clean some day so I don't have to buy new glass but for the moment, I have enough glass bought ahead that I don't have to worry about it for a while. It's just soot from the smoke. If u stick with the stones then buying a darker color is probably your best bet.

Once you put in the gas pipes and the glass chips into your previously wood fireplace, you can no longer burn the wood any more ever again in the fireplace. You must convert the fireplace to gas and put the glass over to make it look nice, and to spread the flames. You can not burn wood any more. For safety, you should have a pro install the pipes and gas line. i did connect my own burner, then children's play sand, then tempered glass pieces, and do that work myself, once the plumber installed the gas line. Make sure to get a reputable plumber who specializes in it. Look on yelp for a good one and check comments. Some of them are real jerks. but a few are really good.

The only way the glass could become hot enough to "Burn" was if it was not under water.The water will remove heat faster than the resistive heater wire can supply it.

If you're fortunate enough to get it lit, simply pop off the burner and it will extinguish itself rapidly. Should you need new burners buy six and if you're lucky you will have two that actually work. Don't expect a refund. Oh yeah. You will not have an easy time unwrapping the new burners,

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.

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

I think a fire starter gives off sparks, correct? If that is the case, then no. It needs a flame to start. We use matches and it starts in a few seconds. Hope this helps.

You need to burn about five at a time, be sure the peat brick are not too far back in the firebox....move them as close as possible to the front without letting smoke into the room.

It's easy, just make sure you clean the grease trap often. We've had some flames, I think it's because the grease trap sits under the fire bowl, so if you forget to empty it, you end up with a fire!

It gets very hot but i make sure there are no flammable objects nearby. I have been using the same diffuser for about 6 months and noticed it was brown inside where there are small flaps. I thought it was some of the liquid burned to the plastic. Then just last week noticed that the small flap is cracked. There are a few small flaps but i removed it from the electricity due to fear of fire. Has anyone elese seen this? Is there a shelf life for the diffuser? Do i need to buy new ones ( i have several in the house). Thanks.

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

We use our Fire Dancer occasionally and we also use the same tank for our grill. We have run it for 2-3 hours probably 3 times. We still have not run out of propane. It puts off some heat but it's not the same as having a regular fire pit with wood. Still it works for us and we don't smell like smoke after. We even use ours to roast marshmallows. Hope this helps.

The fire glass looks like pebbles that the fire goes through and it comes with a bag of fire glass. Actually more than will fit in the container so you have extra.

The flame of this particular torch is fairly broad. Seems like most glass burners generate more of a pencil flame. But if a broad flame will work for making beads, and the glass you are using is soda-lime, you're probably in luck.
