can I use this with fake logs instead of glass/lava rock?

Yes you should be able to but it will be tricky covering the burner with logsso that it is not exposed

I agree with Brett's answer. It will also be tricky to keep the logs within the pan to keep them from rolling out. The pan is only something like 10" wide and height from the burner to the top lip of the pan isn't much. You'd have to get a couple thin logs and even then be pretty careful to keep the logs from rolling off. Might be kind of cool, though!

I don't know why you couldn't...I would probably put some cheap lava rock from your big box store as a base to distribute the flames though

It's not for lava rocks. Truthfully I don't like the grill. I bought it last summer. It doesn't cook evenly at all. Must keep moving your food around on the grill top because one side cooks faster than the other. Buy another grill, you won't be happy with this one.

It is not recommended that you replace the logs and lave with fire glass. The manufacturer believes it might affect the performance of the unit and will void the warranty.

I would highly recommend this so ensure that you do not get dust in the propane line. I did this myself when I replace original lava rock with new fireglass.

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

The lava rocks cool off extremely fast. Typically within 5 minutes, we are packing up the Firebowl. Unsure how durable ceramic logs would be if you plan to frequently move the Firebowl. The lava rocks seem to be a good choice for a mobile product. They simply leave dust as they degrade with use and the abuse of moving the unit.

No, just the logs. We placed it in out fire pit and added the lava rocks around it.

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

No you can't, there are many how to's and videos online. You need to do this in gradients. Use lava rock on the bottom below the gas tubes, and then use the decorative fire glass on top of the gas tubes. 10 lbs is not alot, I have a 18x6 pit and it uses about 6lbs of glass.

Yes, but the glass will not glow like embers and typically isn't mixed with logs. The glass is high heat tolerant and is fine with natural gass or propane.

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.

In regarding your question of a fake fire log if you meant the type you purchase at the grocery the answer is yes they will fit. I would not get the largest one because it might be too big(4 hrs burn time) but the smaller ones fit fine.

Once again. If you buy logs and extra lava it will put out heat 360. Very good fireplace. Go for it. All the heat comes from the glowing logs and extra lava rocks.

We replaced the lava rock with stones. Here's the site. Looks 100% better. http://www.blazingglass.com/fireplace-stones/?gclid=COeatoCB9rYCFQpN4Aod710AlA

No... It is intended for use with gas fireplaces. It is a decorative element not a fuel source. Some gas fireplaces use it to cover the burners and the flames come up through the glass and others (like myself) put it around the bottom of the gas logs for a visual shimmer effect.
