Are you supposed to cover the silver metal part in the middle (i.e. the burner) with glass or leave it exposed?

Hello, I've owned it now for a year and we keep the burners covered with the glass marbles that came with the set. Please note, we always keep the entire unit covered when not in use to keep it from getting wet when rains.. The cover was included when we bought the fire pit.

I think the instruction manual says not to cover but I covered mine since it's two inches long and sticks out like a sore thumb in the clear glass pit. It just makes it a little harder to light right off but doesn't affect the flame source when it's lit. I've had my pit for almost a year now and love it.

Yes, cover the silver burner but leave the small black pilot light box exposed. When lit, the flames come up around and through the glass pieces.

Yes, cover it all with glass; just leave the little part where the flame comes out exposed.

I have a glass/ceramic stove top and we leave the glass covers on top of the stove when we use the Oven. There has been no problem.

I do not believe this is safe to use on a very hot surface. this is just a cover to put over burners when NOT in use.

Yes...It's under the bottom burners. It can be removed for cleaning by sliding it out. It's a little stiff at first, but it will come out. I clean mine after I make toast. Did it on my old one also....just makes good sense to keep any thing that gets hot clean. .

I'm sure it could cover the sides and front of a stove, but I personally would not put it anywhere near the burner units since it is a film, which has the potential to burn or bubble up. I don't remember if the product information addressed this issue, and I wasn't concerned since I was using it on the front of a dishwasher.

This was a gift for my sister and she LOVES IT. She has gas burners so I dont have a solid answer for you. My only concearn would be a food or grease build up that wasnt completely cleaned off being between the glass top burner and the pan. I personally have a glass top stove and would be reluctant to use it.

sorry i don't know about usage on the glass top. i have used it under 2 burners at the same heat but it wasn't the same as using the middle burner

Mine came with glass, but not enough to cover the burner. I had to buy more. It's available online, or I found some at a local fireplace store. I don't think it matters what sizeas long as it's fire glass.

Yes to both. It is a thin metal with enamel coating, (like an old stove). It heats up quick, so be carful not to scorch.

No, the heating element is not exposed. It is somewhere inside where you cannot see or touch it.

I laid the glass/rocks over a propane fire pit tray/bowl,you don't need no screen, or anything else,you just need enough glass to cover the gas burner,I bought two different color glass I mixed them together and it looks very nice during the day or at night when lit.

I don't know as I have not used mine yet...If I were you I would keep the burner on low to start or keep the pan up higher off the flame.

The grill is built so that the grilling surface itself covers the burners. However you should remove the grill to clean it. If you don't, you can splatter onto the burners. However if that does happen just run over the burners with a green scrubby and they'll be fine. Have had this for a while, use it all the time. It works great.

Manual says not to place near or on gas or electric burner, in heated oven (microwave, convection, etc.) or any other heated surface. Hope that helps.

DO NOT heat directly over coals, The Smokey Joe "Gold" has vents on both sides integrated in the cover holder/lock (smart design) (NOT the usual bottom vent). I would put the coals to the outside wall (In a RING fashion) and leave the center for placing the foil wrapped items. This is my 1st. Smokey Joe "GOLD" but my 4th. Joe overall in 20 years. Jeff

Its made from Stainless steel so you could use it on a hot burner top if you need to..but it might damage the paint finish eventually..as far as a glass top is concerned.. id place something between like felt rounds on corners. I hope this helps. I'm very happy with mine.

Yes! I've done it before but the burner on the right doesn't get as hot. I think I isolated much of my cooking to the left side.
