The window needs to be open only a few inches. Never leave a fire in a fireplace unattended. Before leaving the house or going to bed, you should make certain to fully extinguish the fire.

Yes, Our fireplace glass product produces more heat than artificial log sets and lava rocks- The heat created is comparable to a real wood fire without leaving the mess of burnt ash and soot behind to clean up.
In addition the glass does not pollute the environment like a wood fire which helps preserve our natural resources. Do I need a special burner when using propane?
Pan Burners are suggested for use with propane. A pan burner is strongly suggested when using propane to prevent the gas from sinking and collecting underneath the surface, this is a common hazard with propane since propane is a heavier gas then natural gas. We also suggest using an LP Converter with propane as this will mix oxygen into the gas prior to burning which helps reduce the weight of the gas and burns cleaner reducing carbon build up.
What is an LP Converter? Hello, I love the look of the fire glass to replace my old gas logs but i'm wondering why the glass kits call for a vented fireplace, when my natural gas logs are running in a fireplace that is not vented? Unfortunately the Diamond Fire Glass product is not suggested for use in non vented units due to the heat that is created from the glass crystals themselves. The heat created from our glass product is far greater than the heat that is created by ceramic log or concrete log alternatives.
In addition typically logs that are used in a non vented system are specially made for that purpose and made of alternative materials that do not produce abundant heat. I just received my fire pit ring and it looks great, unfortunately, I was not aware that Home Depot style flex lines can cause annoying gas line whistle. It would be an easy fix to replace the connector with a whistle free gas line, however I already poured my 60 lbs of glass over the burner ring.
Any suggestions for removing the glass without disturbing the gravel base??? I was thinking of trying to carefully vacuum the glass with a shop-vac and then pick out any stray gravel? If you have a flat scoop this will work best to carefully remove your Diamond Fire Pit Glass without mixing with the gravel- see image at following link below.
Plastic Scoop from Uline A ShopVac would also definitely work to remove the majority of the Diamond Fire Pit Glass product but be careful as you get close to the gravel to avoid collecting much gravel and getting it mixed in Once the fire pit glass is removed you can hard pipe the fire pit ring connection and eliminate any whistle noise. Once this process is complete make sure to test light the fire pit ring and turn gas on high and confirm your noise has been eliminated, Once this is confirmed turn off the gas and install your fire pit glass.
We just bought a burner and lbs. I noticed that you sell propane converters but is this really necessary? We have installed the pipe with heat resistant gas pipe tape and the flames look lovely the way it works now.

The procedure for fire glass installation is relatively straightforward. If you can follow the instructions below, you can do it with ease, whether you have a copper fire bowl or a cast iron fire pit. However, if in any doubt, consult a licensed contractor. The first thing is to prepare your fire pit for fire glass. You can clean the place to remove any dirt that may have remained from the previous fires.
Before adding the filer, measure three to four inches down from the top of the firepit using a measuring tape or a ruler. Then mark the distance with an object like a pencil and fill up your pit with sand filler or lava rock up to the mark. Some manufacturers even have their filer, which you can purchase as you buy your fire glass. The most suitable location to install the fire burner is at the center of the fire pit. Install the fire pit burner at that location on top of your appropriate filler.
The gas holes should point upwards to help maximize efficiency and flame size. Always follow local building codes during burner installation. For example, a propane burner requires that you install a pan underneath it. The last step in installing a fire glass in a fire pit involves pouring the fire glass into the fire pit. A large bucket comes in handy in helping you have control as you pour the fire glass on top of your filler or lava rock. Most people prefer the mound shape where the highest point is at the center.
You can now light your fireplace and enjoy once again as the flames dance above your most preferred fire glass.
