Can I use this for an indoor vented fire place- I am going to put fire glass all over the base of the fire box

I would not recommend it as you are using an open flame and natural gas, the fumes are pretty strong coming out of it

Only if you have a fireplace to put it in so the smoke will go up the chimney...I tried for myself and tbis wae the only way to use inside the house as its so much bigger than picture shows.

This unit is intended for use with a Real Flame mantel, or so it is labeled. I have a carpenter friend completing a custom mantel for this firebox, so can't honestly answer this yet. I will say I ran the unit twice standing freely --alone and without being encased in a mantel--as it is out of the box. The heat is driven outward by a fan; little to no heat was generated on sides or top of my unit.

Not unless the opening is also open on the top of the fireplace. The vent is ontop and blows heat from there.

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.

You can certainly use this indoors but I would be hesitant to use it without the proper fireproof enclosure of a fireplace inside. Outdoors no problem

I don't see why you would have to...it won't hurt anything if you put the fireglass over it. It depends on if you can still see the lava rock and like the way it looks.

No,it can cause a fire. If you get a glass terrarium,preferably an exo terra terrarium, it'll work great though.

I would say no to a special burner. In my gas fireplace; as in most, the burner is above the bottom of the fireplace itself... in the "logs". So when you put the fireplace glass in the bottom it will not or should not be high enough to touch the burner itself. There was/is a warning that comes with the glass (I believe this is where I got this advice) that says make sure to close the mesh or doors to the fireplace before lighting as there might be a chance of some glass pieces "popping" durning the first few heatings. I however, never had any popping and am very happy with the look and performance of the fireplace glass. I would say no to a special burner.

I wouldn't use it indoors. Even with good ventilation the charcoal smells and eats up the oxygen in the room. Better be safe than sorry and keep it outside where it was meant to be.

Yes you can. You will need to put a can or something to keep the wood in though so the heat and flame can be concentrated. It looks like the metal is coated in Zinc to make it rust resistsant so I would not build a fire in the thing unless you want zinc poisoning.

not sure...we added the glass to our existing family room fire place for decorative purposes.

I use it indoor and out. My specific purpose is on professional fireworks construction. If it'll hold up on that, it'll hild up anywhere

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.

Probably have to contact Outdoor GreatRoom Company...here is a link to their contact page...http://www.outdoorrooms.com/contact-us/. The part description is "VFT Glass for portable Firepits-5.31"OD*10"Tall". The Part No is: GLASS-5.31. I think they have a monopoly on this product so it may be pricey. Good Luck!

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

No. The instructions make it clear its only to be used indoors. If you mount it in a window, one side would be exposed to rain, dampness etc and would pose a fire hazard.
