What the AI looks for in Decorative Fire Pit Glass Pellets
- Tempered glass only
- Buy only glass labelled tempered fire glass, never ordinary decorative or aquarium glass. Non-tempered glass can crack or pop when it is heated.
- Fuel type
- Use with propane or natural gas burners only. Wood fires leave soot and ash that ruin the glass, and the glass is not designed for them.
- Fill depth over burner
- Cover the burner with a shallow layer, about an inch, and keep the ports unobstructed. A deep layer chokes the flame and makes it sooty or uneven.
- Base filler
- Fill the lower part of a deep pan with lava rock and put glass only on top. This cuts the amount of glass you need without hurting performance.
- Reflective vs non-reflective
- Reflective glass has a mirrored coating on one side, and non-reflective glass is solid colour. Reflective glass shows more of the flame, while plain glass looks more matte and hides dust better.
Brands that matter
- Onlyfire: Broad colour range plus burners and pans.
- Stanbroil: Fire glass alongside burner kits and replacement parts.
What to avoid
- Painted or coated glass not rated for fire use, because the coating can flake and discolour.
- Mixing fire glass into a wood-burning pit.
- Packing glass tightly over the burner ports.
