CAN YOU MIX LAVA ROCK AND GLASS IN YOUR FIRE PIT?

I really don't see why you couldn't mix the two. It would probably give you a nice effect without over-doing the sparkle from the glass.

I read a review (somewhere) and that person did that because they didn't buy enough glass and it worked out good for them. I was going to do that but I had enough glass.

There is a door that slides out at one of the bottom ends where you place a propane tank (not included) and connect it to the burner. The set does come with lava rocks you place inside the burner area. With this heat wave going on, I probably wont test it out for another couple of months.

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.

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.

It comes with a bag of lava rocks. If that's what you mean I would say purchase one additional and you should be fine. If you're talking about purchasing glass rocks to use instead of the lava rocks I would say 3 bags should do it.

Yes you can. I replaced the lava with Fire glass and covered it completely and it works just fine.

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!

The glass does not light on fire. You need propane or natural gas. The flames coming thru the glass is the beauty of using them.

I am familiar with using fire glass with gas fireplaces (to obscure/hide the gas lines). So in this case, it is a bit different because this fire pit is wood burning. Technically, you could use fire glass with this product, but you would need to have the appropriate burner if you are just using fire glass. If you combine fire glass and logs, you'll have an interesting project to separate the glass from the ash after your fire has died out and the glass has cooled. There are no drainage holes in this fire pit--so if you plan to install a gas burner, you'll need to accommodate for that in your construction plans.

It does come with a bag of black glass rock that is enough. But I wanted to spruce mine up, so I got; Fire Pit Glass Rocks, COBALT BLUE~3/8-1/2", 4 LBS Sold by: MailOrderRocks and used mixed the colors. I used about 2 lbs of the blue rock and took out half the black.

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.

We did. Used the lava rock as filler. You can't see the lava rock at this point. Make sure you order what you need and a bit more. Can always return. We did multiple orders and no 2 were alike!

I'm not sure... I would think if you can use it on any propane fire pit, it would work on it. There are grates where the lava rock lays on and if the glass is small it would fall through. I hope I was of some help.

I googled it and found it under hayneedle.com. We have this same firepit and we love it. We ditched the lava rock and bought the colored glass. Looks beautiful.

I think the glass may reach a higher temperature, because the lava rocks are porous and cool off faster.

I don't see how you could because there is nothing to burn. The glass doesn't burn. It just reflects the flames from the gas. If you had a gas pipe installed in the fireplace, you could put fireglass in there

I laid the glass/rocks over a propane fire pit tray/bowl,you don't need no screen, or anything else,you just need enough glass to cover the gas burner,I bought two different color glass I mixed them together and it looks very nice during the day or at night when lit.
