CARE AND USE OF YOUR FIRE GLASS

How Much Fire Glass do I Need?

Each 10 lb. jar of fire glass covers approximately 200 cubic inches. To calculate how much fire

glass you need in a square/rectangular fire pits multiply the length by width by depth and divide

by 200. For a round fire pit multiply the radius (1/2 diameter) by the radius by 3.12 by depth and

divide by 200.

How to Clean Your Fire Glass in Just a Few Quick, Easy Steps

One of the best things about fire glass is that unlike wood, it’s extremely low maintenance.

What’s more, when you’re using a natural-gas source, your fire pit glass is among the cleanest

burning alternatives available.

That said, even the highest-quality fire pit glass may require a bit of cleaning up now and then.

This may be due to exposure to rain and snow, or incomplete burning of the liquid petroleum

(LP) gas in your fireplace or pit that causes soot buildup. Additionally, plain old dust particles

can accumulate on the glass over time, blunting their shine.

Never fear, however — removing surface grime and restoring your glass back to its original

color and luster is a cinch! Here’s a step-by-step guide for how to wash fire glass right in your

backyard or garage:

Supplies You’ll Need

• A bucket

• 1 gallon water

• 1 gallon household vinegar

• Plastic scoop for removing glass from your fire pit / fireplace

• Large wire mesh strainer (the kind used in the kitchen to drain pasta)

• Tarp or plastic trash bag

Instructions 1. In the bucket, combine all of the water and vinegar (50/50 mixture). 2. Scoop the dirty fire glass from your pit and add it to the bucket (Hint: focus on the top layer and around the edges or near the burner). 3. Use the scoop to stir the glass around in the solution to clean your fire glass thoroughly. 4. Remove the glass from the water / vinegar solution and place in the strainer. 5. Give the glass a final rinse using clean water (a garden hose makes it easy).

Watching your beautiful fire pit glass darken and discolor can be a startling experience. But not to worry — your “burnt” fire glass is absolutely fine. The fact is that fire glass is non-combustible, and it hasn’t been treated with any chemicals or additives that can produce a residue on the glass. What you’re looking at, actually, is a fine coating of soot on the surface, which happens when the gas in your fire pit or fireplace isn’t burning properly.

Propane gas is highly volatile! As with any kind of installation that involves gas, you should have your new air mixer installed by a trained professional. When looking for a trained professional, it’s a good idea to choose one with an NFI (National Fireplace Institute) certification. An NFI-certified installer has received the proper training in gas hearth appliances and passed NFI’s rigorous exam, ensuring they meet high standards for safety and proper installation.
