The Roxbury Hotel

The fire pit table is at the Roxbury Hotel and we will show you the process from beginning to end.  We start with the framing and making sure we understand how the gas line comes in and out out of the floor.

FireGlass With An Unconverted Propane Burner

The fire pit below is a failed attempt to burn FireGlass with a regular propane burner.  Remember you can't burn propane with FireGlass without modification!  If you try this, this is what it will look like.

You need to calibrate the burner or it will back fire, burn black or explode!  We won't tell you who tried this but we will tell you we did fix the issue and now the customer is very happy. We did use Azurlite Base Glass with Azurlite Reflective Base Glass.

A Propane Fire Pit - Done Right!

The pictures below will show you how to install a propane burner and valve in your fire pit without drilling a hole in the side of your fire pit with our FPPK (fire pit propane kit).

DIY propane fire pit fppk 2


This was install in Calabasas California with Bronze Base Glass and Bronze Reflective Base Glass on top. The fire pit has 10" solid sides which made this a good candidate for the FPPK to be installed on the inside wall.

fppk 3 Outdoor propane firepit with propane burner fppk 6

This propane fire pit was calibrated so that every valve and ring we installed would eliminate back flow and any problems that may happen. We also installed the proper type of air mixer to insure a clean burn; eliminating the soot produced by propane. If you have a propane fire pit you know what I am talking about.

Single Burner Pipe - Propane Pan Burner

The propane burner below was made to inset flush to the floor with a remote control underneath the pan. The pan sat 5" below the surface so the glass would appear to be just above the surface. The outer ring was bolted down to keep the glass from falling underneath the burner in the event you ever had to service the burner or remote control. The tower you see is actually for the air mixer to draft fresh air to the propane before it burns.

As you can see we drilled it to look like a ribbon burner.

Ribbon (Single Pipe) Propane Burner

The burner below is a propane ribbon burner with all stainless steel construction.  A ribbon burner produces a linear flame, this can accommodate different design expectations.

The pan and all around was filled with glass hiding/ concealing all of the workings. A ribbon burner will mold all of the flames together making it look like a ribbon of fire.

Joe Ramirez contacted us with a few fire pit problems, which we helped him fix.  When building a propane fire pit, keep in mind the following:

  1. Don't put your controls under the base plate, you want to make sure that if you ever need to service the until you will be able to have access to it.
  2. The Air mixer needs to be located in its proper position so that base of the fire pit wont fill up with gas and create a bomb.
  3. Again air ventilation is critical when it comes to propane.

Here is what Joe had to say...

"Were all good, I spoke to Morgan very helpful, you got a great crew.  Works like a champ.  Thanks again."

This type of propane burner can modified for outdoor (rectangle) fire pits.






Ventless Fireplace #3 - Propane



The pictures below are of a steel propane ventless burner. We used the original burner and installed an air mixer under the pan to insure a clean burn. As you will see the thermo couple, pilot light and ODS (oxygen depletion sensor are intact). These pans can be made in any shape or material.

Whatever burner you purchase with or without remote control, we can convert it for you. Propane or natural gas, vented, direct vent or ventless as shown.

The skirts will hide the the valves and the remote control will be moved to the side of the fireplace. This was a ventless burner the customer sent to us for conversion and they asked for us to add a remote to all 4 vent less burners.

Ventless Propane Fireplace with Electronic Ignition

The fireplace below belongs to Ross Barnett in Florida. This was a ventless propane installation. Ross built a front wave design and we built a special wedge pan with the controls underneath. This is a remote control ventless burner.  Below on the right you can see the WAVE shape base before the ventless burner was installed.

What makes us different from anyone else is that we allow you to exercise your imagination. If you can dream it, we can build it.  You see what Ross has done and we can work with you in the same way to help your unique design ideas come true.  Thanks Ross, Great Job!





A Mining Cart Converted To An Outdoor Propane Fire Pit

The fire pit below belongs to Mike DeVito in Northern California. When I saw his sketches I got very excited to help him create something so unique and wonderful.  He took this old mining cart and converted it to a propane burning fire pit!  We used a FPPK (fire pit propane kit) with valves, thermocouple, pilot light and air mixer. 


custom backyard fire pit mike 25 mike 23


The pit received its gas supply from this 20 lb propane tank.  Here is the mining cart with the base plate installed with the burners.  Here you see the controls, air mixer and thermocouple and pilot light lines under the base plate.

mike 2 custom propane backyard fire pit mike 4

You can see that the first base layer used was large 3/4", 1" lava.   But we then poured a 1/4" crushed lava to keep the glass from sinking into the larger lava.  Mike decided to use Starfire Base Glass for his base FireGlass.

He then finished it off with several colorful toppers, Yellow Amber Topper, Steel Blue Topper
Turquoise, Green Tubes, Copper Ruby Red, Ice Ice Ice Topper, and of course some of our popular Diamonds in Clear, Pink.

A Large Two-Sided Propane Fireplace With Electronic Ignition


The fireplace below was installed with a dual battery operated 100,000 BTU propane electronic ignition system. Each capable of 100,000 BTU's of fire. The first pictures show what we had to work with and how it progressed.

Burning wood and fake logs is just dirty! True story! As you can see the soot that comes out of the fireplace leaves your house smelling like fresh carbon monoxide - YUCK!

Here are a few pictures of the fireplace exterior being rebuilt .  The customer added some lime stone and a few more pieces of copper.

The glass that was used was Starfire Base Glass, Gold BAse Glass and Ice Ice Ice Topper.   And here we have the finished product. Now isn't that much better !?  Modernizing old rustic fireplaces can bring new life and style to your living areas -  I guess that's why we are Moderustic!

Outdoor Stacker Stone Fire Pit

This next fire pit was built by our customers Tim and Sarah, they simply built this with stacker stones and a bit of ingenuity. The used a crushed lava base  This was done with a propane valve that we supplied. They used a wood burning fire bowl for the pit. The tank was accessible from the back of the fire pit.  You can use the larger lava and then over it with the crushed lava to save some cash!  Note we do not use the 3/4" size, why? Way to large for the glass as it will fall through1

fire bowl propane burner Tim Sarah Gallagher 5


Below you'll notice that the pilot light and thermocouple are inside the ring. This is a must for safety reasons when working with propane. The Aquatic Glassel used was Black Base Glass topped with Black Reflective Base Glass, and Light Amber Topping to create the Fleur De Lis.

A Wine Barrel Fire Pit

Steve Hinojos (S.B. County Sheriff) built two fire pits using propane. One of which was a Wine Barrel Fire Pit.  We supplied the know-how and all of the parts to make his Wine Barrel Fire Pit a success! 

custom propane wine barrel fire pit Steve Hinojos 3


We also supplied Steve with all of the propane parts to make his fire table work properly.  But it wasn't until we received his photo that we noticed three were rocks in his Fire Pit!?  You can't burn ROCKS, they EXPLODE!  You can see this on our Famous "How Not To Do It" page.  

Steve Hinojos 1 Steve Hinojos 5

Initially there were no problems but once the rocks took on moisture, the problems began.  And sure enough Steve contacted us again to replace the center rocks with some safe and sound Aquatic Glassel.  All in all, great job Steve!

A Super Bowl Fire Pit (Propane Converted o Propane)

The following Propane Burner was designed for our customer Richard King of South Carolina.  He was throwing a super bowl party in his gazebo and he wanted to convert his existing propane fire pit to one that could burn without sooting while still using propane.  So of course he came to us to make sure he'd get a clean burn.

Below is what was sent to us to convert. As you can see the flames were rather small and had no air mixer whatsoever - so there was a lot of soot and black smoke!  The reason is once you start to turn up the fire, the soot starts to show. So often you will be told not to turn up the flames.  Which makes us say - Whats the Point Than!

no soot backyard fire pit centerless burner ring Richard King 11

Now we step in.  We calibrate the air mixer to the ring, valve system, pilot light and thermocouple.   And as you can see the flame goes from low, medium and then to turbo high without sooting!  Allowing you to burn cleanly while using a propane gas.

And here is Richard's hand built gazebo, which turned out beautifully!

A Fire Pit Built & Installed
By Kevin Smith

This is a simple but clever idea for utilizing an nontraditional area for an outdoor propane fire pit.   We used a stainless steel pipe, which we always recommend for outdoor use.   You can see the cinder block hollowed out. You don't need a pan, the block is the pan!  Below you see the stainless steel burners on a bed of crushed pea gravel.  -The burners were calibrated to the Copreci Valve to insure a clean burn.

Be warned there are so many companies out there who sell propane without addressing the issue of using FireGlass and they will leave you holding the bag. Too many times we see this situation and the customer is told they need a pan, why? Ohhhh, because the dealer needs your money more than you do!

clean burning outdoor fire pit

Kevin Smith 4

Below you can see the Copreci and air mixer mounted to a bracket on the end of the pit. Remember, the air mixer and Copreci have to be calibrated to the burner or it won't work! There is no magic bullet, it's pure and simple knowledge. Propane Burners  have to be dealt with great care. The glass that was installed was Ford Blue Base Glass.

Another Custom Outdoor Fire Pit 

The fire pit below was constructed by Andrew Jordan in Miami Florida, Buena Vista Flats. We build a 16" x 16" aluminum pan with a 1/2" lip on top. The propane tank was mounted below the table top. Nice and simple feature!  If you're in the area, send them a line or stop by.

Propane FPPK Kit with Black Magic / Blue Flames 

The burner and pan below was for our customer Scott Spector.  Below is one of our FPPK's (fire pit propane kit). With this FPPK we set it up for Black Magic! This was table tested for the pictures. Hopefully the customer will send us pictures after and during installation. We first sent these pictures for the customers approval.  The pan below belongs to  and he finally installed the fire pit in his back yard, WOW, one really nice backyard! This is one of our propane pan burner with slight modifications.

Christina's Propane Fire Table

The fire table below was built by Christina aka "Stina" in the San Francisco area. With a little ambition, imagination and our help, she now has one very nice fire table.  Here is where it started. She made a template of the pan and where the mounting tabs would be located. Then we built the aluminum pan and propane burner for Stina to install.

Please be careful when inventing and or working with any explosive gasses.

There is one way to do it right, there are probably a few dozen ways on how to blow up propane. Did you see the story on how one young man was killed using a propane rocket? Would you like to know how to blow up your table? There is the correct way and an incorrect way.
