can you use fire glass in a chiminea
1577362
I actually work for a glass company, so the criteria for tempered glass being used in a chiminea or any other fire pits are that tempered glass is safe up to 400 degrees. Anything over that could make it "blow up" in smaller pieces, not safe..... hope this helps!

You can, but when you burn the wood or what ever you burn. It will make the glass all dirty. This is meant for gas or propane fires.

Based on my experience, the real flame gel does not produce smoke. It is a clean burn. As far as the fire crystals go, as long as they are fire rated I would guess they would be fine. It comes with stones and that is what I use. The fire crystals would add beauty to it, but I would call the company to verify they would be safe.

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.

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.

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.

The fire glass looks like pebbles that the fire goes through and it comes with a bag of fire glass. Actually more than will fit in the container so you have extra.

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.

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

It does reflect light when used with a fire. There is a glow and shine from the glass that really grabs the eye. The moving light is what gives it such a cool shimmer however so if the light spice is still (not moving) a different effect may be observed.

You could but, if it were me I would not. The heat from an open fire could possibly cause the granite porcelain to shatter off of the pot. Best to go with cast iron or copper.

Hi Nancy. The grate inside the chimnea hasn't held up very well to the heat of the fires. It will eventually need to be replaced. I haven't covered up the chimnea, so I see some rust already forming after a few months of use on the exterior from the weather. I would definitely recommend getting a cover for it. It is a pretty sturdy and solid piece made of cast iron - looks great and is functional.

It needs to be used with gas. The glass does not burn and is pretty much just for looks in a gas fire pit.

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.

No the glass around the edge can be used for glasses. You may want to keep the flame level a little lower if you're using it with the glassware. We love our table and have gotten a lot of compliments on it.

yes the glass that comes with this firepit is enough to fill the bowl. i have not tried any other glass except one that came with it.

I have heard of some people using the colored fire glass but have not tried it myself.
