It comes with a nice size bag of regular rocks. I bought a 2 pound bag of black glass rocks and just sprinkled them over the other looks nice.

very heavy glass. We had 2 that over heated and the glass melted and shattered, but did not explode and shoot glass all over.

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.

Steel doesn't matter at all with a ferro rod(firesteel). All it needs is a hard, sharp corner. You can spark a firesteel with a piece of glass. The spine of this is decent for this though. If yours were to need a touch up you could do it with a few swipes of a file.

I think it depends on what kind of glass it is. Something like pyrex would be OK, but fragile glass - maybe not so much.

I wouldnt. I'd use only stainless steel or heavy aluminum. Fire gets really hot and could melt thin metals.

Hi Gregory, I ordered 10 lbs of the 1/2 inch chunky fire glass. I just mixed in the fire glass with the lava rock that came with the fire bowl. I had plenty!! In fact, I had about 1/4 that I did not use. I hope this helps. I am assuming you already ordered the newcastle fire bowl...for what it's worth...I ended up just getting rid of mine because after the first few times of using it, it did not work again. The company that I purchased from sent me several parts, but good heavens I am not well versed enough to take the whole darn component apart and rebuild. The few times it did work I loved it...:) Hope this helps and ENJOY the firebowl...who knows maybe you will get one that functions properly!!

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!

I use this fireglass in outdoor gas firepit. My original setup was lava rock and log but this is much classier and beautiful to watch. I used some of the lava rock on the bottom as filler, used and purchased much less of fireglass as a result. HY

I recently ordered 20 pounds of 1/2 inch glass rocks and it looks great- it was the right amount!

10 to 12 pounds is a safe weight. Anything over that and you risk possibly pulling out the hardware and damaging walls.

What is the glass depth (height) that you would be filling? I assumed that your firebox has a front and back width of 45", your depth was 8" and the glass depth would be 2.5. The calculation would be 47 lbs

The glass is 1/4 inch thick so it will take weight but I would be careful if you plan on putting anything heavy on the ends . good luck!

The glass itself is solid and heavy so it can definitely support some weight. The legs are metal too so I'd guess at least a couple hundred pounds.

I used one (of three total hinges) on my metal 36: fire door and it works fine. My guess is the doors weight in about 100 lbs.

The amount that comes with a new fire pit is just the right amount. It fills the bowl up to the edges. My guess is 1 1/2 - 2 pounds.

I bought my glass fire cups through http://massagecupping.com/product-page/vacuum-sets/glass-fire-cup-set/ $16 + shipping for a set of 4 & they work great.
