I have an oriflame propane fire pit. Can I replace the glass with lava rock and add your logs on top of that?

I am not familiar with that particular fire pit but I have these logs on top of lave rock (small) with a gas burmer under it and it works great!

Yes, that is what we did. Seems to work just fine. A bit of extra soot on the logs. Not sure if that is normal or not.

I wouldn't do river rock because it will explode. You could to lava rock. You could also put a pan underneath the fire pit to catch the ash.

You need to remove the logs and use only the lava rocks. This is the only way I got rid of the soot which was considerable, even coated my newly stained deck badly which really sucks. Wish I would have realized this before using the logs which instantly turned black upon using them along with soot floating off. I haven't tried different logs since the look of the flames with lava rocks only look great to me and my wife. I had to scrub my deck to get the soot off which wasn't easy. I think the quality of logs is low since I have been using a natural gas fire place in my house, two of them, for 18 years with no sign of soot or the logs turning black.

I don't know. Never had lava rocks. Maybe some one else will be able to answer. We really like our fire pit.

Should. We have a propane tank pit. But I am going to put it in my house FP which is gas. I had lava rocks in my outdoor pit. We covered them with this.

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 covered mine with lava rock and it works fine. I have always had mine covered.

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.

I think you could? I bought this set and simply added more lava rock. It is the same set up as the others so I don't see why not?

Not sure what you mean by fire glass. It comes with a pit in the center where the lava rocks go. However, you have to remove the granite lid to use the fire put.

Yep, you can cover it with lava rock...they send them with the package so seems odd that they'd even say that. It's a great product, we love it and use it often.

It worked great in ours. Ours is propane but should be equivalent. We first had the gas logs (like would be in a fireplace) but wanted a change. So, we ended up putting lava rocks around the perimeter (where the fire bowl met the table part of the "pit") and then the glass in the interior portion where the fire ring sits. The lava rocks can also keep you from having to use tons of the glass since they can fill up some of the empty space. Hope this helps!

You have to make a different screen to hold the glass first 19.5" x 19.5" and then add a light layer of glass. it doesn't smoke like it does with the lava rocks, and I think it performs and looks much better. Be careful not to put too much glass on the screen. It will get to hot and start to burn the paint in the pan and turn your glass black. Hope this helps :-)

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!

I believe you can. The only problem, I thought the logs and flames looked bad. I have 2 of the other Franklin looking stoves with much better looking logs, flames, and color. I love the look of the frame, but I am real big on the fire looking as realistic as possible too.

The firepit I purchased came with a metal box holding lava rock and we changed it out to this glass & it has worked perfectly. It gives the appearance of fire coming from ice. Everyone loves it, I would think it work for your application.

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 don't have a propane fire pit, I use the gel fuel.
