Using Propane Fire Pit Glass

One of the things that's becoming more and more popular when using a propane fire pit is fire pit glass.

The glass is specifically designed to for use in natural gas fire pit. It works well with these high temperatures. You comes in a wide variety of colors, and is absolutely beautiful.

When used with your propane fire pit it actually looks like the glass itself is on fire. You can't really see any of the tubes underneath because rthe glass covers it all up.

It is not harmful in anyway. It produces no odor all. You can't just throw in any kind of glass. So don't go out breaking a bunch of bottles trying to fill up your fire pit. Besides looking like just trash, and being sharp, it will blacken and pop, sending shards onto your floor. This glass is specially designed. Has no sharp edges. And surprisingly easy to maintain. If you feel the need you can take it out and wash it in the sink. No problem. And won't blacken.

Yeah, but how about heat, does it produce any heat. You better believe it.  More heat than other products. It produces more heat than the conventional ceramic logs.

It's also great in the fact that you can do all sorts of different designs. With so many colors and varieties to choose from you will be designing til your hearts content. If you want it all color great! But you may want to do a cool art design. Or a neat little portrait if you have a lot of time to spare...and a lot of skill. You can get all kinds of sizes and even shapes...and more colors than you need.  It's not cheap though. Can run anywhere from $100 to $500 depending on the size of your fire pit and how much you use.

It is fairly affordable considering 60 pounds start at $200. Different colors cost more but it definitely makes it comparable to other products with better heat and less maintenance. To figure out how much glass you need to use multiply with width by the depth and multiply by four. Then divide your previous total by 30. This will give you the exact poundage of fire glass needed. You can also use sand and lava rock to help reduce the amount of glass that you will need. Just putting the glass on top of those two should help reduce your costs and still look like your pit is full of just glass.

When done correctly it is absolutely beautiful.
