What size &amp; type of gasket material is needed to keep heat regulated? Does this have a grater underneath the firebox to remove the ashes?

I have not had to use any type of gasket to regulate the heat. The unit does a good job of keeping in the heat. I use the damper on the firebox to regulate air intake and subsequent burn temperature and the chimney to regulate the release. The firebox does not have a grate to remove the ashes. the tray the ashes sit on does slide out. I normally (next day) shop vac any other miscellaneous ashes out of the firebox.

The cooking grate has a slot in the center that you pull off with a tool provided with the unit. The tool can be used to stir the fire, empty the ashes and remove the grate. You can also use it to swivel the top grate. Using a water pan diffuser makes it difficult to add more charcoal, but that's generally reserved for slow cooks, which you should never have to add charcoal for those.

Plastic backing, fire resistant I don't know? Check with the company who sells the product. I think it is very difficult to burn, metal and stone. I have a fireplace, and I would have no problem using this product around the outside of it. Don't take my word on it, do more checking.

There was no gasket needed with this tank. There were only the press rings to attach the burner assembly to the tank.

There is no igniter. A $3 lighter is perfect. Wok Ring? Not really. This unit puts out some BTU's, a wok ring would keep it up from the flames. The three sides come right off. You should not need to take them off as the burner area is large. Hope this helps.

Hey Donald,Good questions. There are not grates on the bottom, but protruding air vents that allow air in underneath the fire logs and they double as a unit to hold the logs from the bottom of the pit. You can see a better photo and a reference point at www.ghpgroupinc.com. Thank you for the Q, we hope this helps.- GHP Group Customer Service Team

It does not come with a cover. When it rained here in So. California a couple of weeks ago I cleaned it out and set it on it's side. It did not rust.It did come with a grate and it works rather well. I burnt the wood and shoved the embers under the grate and it worked great! I like the fact of the screen totally covering the fire pit. It is also light weight and the guard around the outside helps to prevent burns. For the money it is a great value.

There is a tray on the bottom of this that the level hinges connect to. Once I remove the grates, I lift the hinges up with the tray to get it out of the barrel, take the hinges off, place inside a plastic grocery bag and gently tilt the tray to pour out the ashes so as not to stir up too much ash dust. :)

You need to change the grate like the one person suggested since fire pits for lava rocks/logs have a different design compared to fire pits for fireglass.

Yes, grandpa did it. Propane torch would be easier. A stainless steel bowl is what I use. on a hotplate.The furnace for lead is MUCH safer. One burn (automatically 3rd degree) is more than it's cost.

I do not use a grate. The pit is shallow. If I used a grate the fire would be too high and could possibly roll out of the pit.

Hi there. Gas burning fire pits need two things, proper clearance and ventilation, to use safely.

The outer stone is molded concrete and it looks rustic and beautiful. The metal pan is about 6 inches deep and keeps the fire well off the ground. It fits inside the concrete pit. The ash screen in approximately 12 inches high and covers the top of the pit.

I took a piece of expanded metal, gutter leaf blocker, I bought at lowes for a few bucks, and cut out a circle to fit over the grate in my charcoal chimney. I cut up one of the fire cubes into halves, or thirds and spread them around the chimney. I cover them with charcoal, light from the bottom and leave alone for 15 min. Grill on.

It's a grate. I love the thing. I can set it atop campground rings or directly over a fire and have a decent cook top, with hot over the coals. cool near the sides.

This was the replacement for my heater/ac unit I don't really know what gasket you need. Mine was a simple remove and replace. Sorry I'm not much help.

Below the removable grates is just an area that contains the burners. It is sloped so that any large amount of grease is dripped into a drip can (provided). This area is actually separated from the outside skin area but nothing is removable or needs to be. This baby is so easy to clean. Just let it burn on high for about 20 minutes (uses very little gas), let cool and the use the provided finger like cleaner to clean the grates into the grass. I suggest you buy a spiral (perpendicular to the handle stem) wire brush to finish the job.
