We provided a total of 3 electronic ignition systems and Clear Base Glass for this great outdoor restaurant in Arlington Texas.
Besides the fire pit we also helped correct there other fire pit - check it out on our famous "How Not To Do it" page.
Dave Foster from Plymouth Massachusetts ordered a combination of 1/4" Black Base Glass and lava rock as the center piece for his pit.
Our customer Kevin filled his fire pit with V-Blue Reflective Base Glass and Ice Ice Ice Topper.
This unique fire pit / bench pictures come to us from Graham Thiel of Canyon Construction. It's a natural gas feed with a stainless steel 38" linear burner, an Aluminum pan and Bronze Rust Copper Base Glass FireGlass.
The fire waterfalls was a large project featuring 14 waterfalls! We've been working with new ways of altering fire and we have found how to burn hydrogen! For now you will see the flame change to a lighter more orange flame when the hydrogen hits the fire. We have found how to make fire tornadoes in the process, which makes for a spectacular flame effect! Now for the pictures. We also installed a complete mister system all around the water fall and fire pits to help with the hydrogen.
Do you see the face the water fall makes with the fire on? We call it a Pirate!
You can see the fire changing in the pictures above and below.
There were 2=42" stainless steel pans made and filled with 3 stainless steel burners in each pan. The water runs through the pans helping with the hydrogen. The colors used was a Bronze Base Glass and Bronze Reflective Base Glass with Gold Base Glass on top.
The fire pit below is in Glendale, Arizona at the Renaissance Hotel. We installed an electronic ignition with a 30" stainless steel ring. The glass use was a Clear Base Glass with Starfire Base Glass on top and Topped with 42 lbs of Apricot Topper. These pictures were taken with the edges still exposed which were covered by a layer of Starfire Base Glass.

This next fire pit was built by Tim and Sarah, they simply built this with stacker stones and a bit of ingenuity. The used a crushed lava base with Black Base Glass topped with Black Reflective Base Glass. Then they used a Light Amber Topping to create the Fleur De Lis. 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. Add the base crushed lava. Note we do not use the 3/4" size? Way to large for the glass as it will fall through. You can use the larger lava and then over it with the crushed lava to save some cash!
Below if you notice the Pilot Light and Thermocouple just inside of the ring? This is a must if using propane, for safety.
Steve Hinojos (S.B. County Sheriff) built two fire pits using propane. One of which was a
Wine Barrel Fire Pit and the other a traditional (oopsies on this one!). We will explain as we move on. We supplied the know how and all of the parts to make his
Wine Barrel Fire Pit a success! great job Steve!
We also supplied Steve with the all of the propane parts to make his fire table work properly as well. It's when we got his pictures that we noticed the ROCKS! You can't burn ROCKS, they EXPLODE! This you can see in the Famous
"How Not To Do It" page. Initially he had no problems but once they took on moisture, sure enough he was back for some safe and sound glass!
All in all, great job Steve!
Round Outdoor Patio Fire Pit
These fire pit pictures come to us from Etiwanda CA. Our customer had Clear Base Glass FireGlass and one really cool flame effect from using our Black Magic sand!
The pictures below are of the fire pit on the roof top of the Marriott in downtown San Diego in the Gas Lamp District on the 24th floor, very cool view if your ever there. The 2 half round 24" x 48" stainless steel rings were made custom for this fire pit. The glass that was used was a 50/50 mix of Starfire Base Glass and Black Base Glass. Very nice effect along with the view.
The fire pit below will show you how not to do it (bad plumbing) and how easy it is to install a battery operated remote control. The glass used was
Ford Blue Base Glass and we installed 2 44" stainless steel "H" burners.
In the pictures on the top right, do you see the plumbing sticking out of the pit? Well this was fixed, but not by the plumber that tried to install it. We cut a little bit of concrete and placed the valve in properly. Above you will see a very poor attempt of a gas burner and valve. O'KELLS FIREPLACE SHOP!
The picture above has our twin remotes inside the box protected from the weather.
We covered the larger lava rock with our
crushed lava rock to pour a 1 1/2"
Ford Blue Base Glass to cover the lava and burners. Unless you plan to cover your outdoor fire pit we recommend to use all stainless steel burners and parts to avoid rusting.
Once the glass covers the box, it just looks nice. To replace the batteries, move the glass on the top and the rest is simple.
The fire pit above is at the Torrance Marriott in California.
The fire pit below has a Starfire Base Glass with Ice Ice Ice Topper on top. This is a concrete molded fire pit at the same home as above in Pasadena, California. Later there was 30 lbs of Red Topper added and maybe we can get more pictures.
The fire pit below has Azurlite Base Glass, Azurlite Reflective Base Glass, Ford Blue Base Glass and Ford Blue Reflective Base Glass installed.
The fire pit below was a traditional lava rock fire pit.
Now filled with lava rock (crushed 1/4" 3/8") over 3/8" 1/2" crushed. Remember the larger is under the smaller to keep the glass from falling through.
Above a flex line was installed to raise the ring to the surface. You don't want to leave the ring at the bottom unless you want an explosion or if you want to get rid of the significant other.
Pour more crushed lava to make the desired shape of the fire pit and test burn for flame pattern.
Starfire Base Glass and a few other colors were added
Azurlite Base Glass, Scarlet Topper, Red Topping, Ice Ice Ice Topper, Copper Blue Topper, Copper Blue is a chameleon as when it gets hot it turns green and when it cools it turns back to blue!
Pretty creative!
Great job and very creative.
The fire pit below was designed by Dwayne in Arizona. We used
Bronze Base Glass and stainless steel burners in this fire pit on the roof top. Great design and view.

Here is a real good example of how to convert that old outdoor brick fire pit into a, modern yet rustic, fire and glass pit.
Here is an outdoor fire pit designed with mosaic tiles using Black Base Glass and Gray Base Glass fire glass.
The fire pit below has a half round 4 piece stainless steel ring custom made to fit the shape of the fire pit.
The fire pit below was built by Charlie Helms in North Carolina using our
FPPK (fire pit propane kit) burner. This is a propane fire pit with a lava filler. Charlie is now ready to order the glass. Check it out, great job Charlie!
The fire pit is covered to protect it from whatever may fall. Great job!
The fire pit below was build by Mike Phillips ( a customer). First he ran a propane line to the fire pit area and then blocked his fire pit into shape. We use a
FPPK (fire pit propane kit) in an aluminum pan 24" x 24" with a double 18" double stainless steel ring.The glass that was used was
Gray Base Glass with
Gray Reflective Base Glass on top to add sparkle.Below you can see the placement of the thermocouple and safety pilot light used for propane.
Below on the right side the controls were installed in the bricks.
The fire pit below is a typical fire pit with large lava rocks.We removed most of the larger pieces and poured a few hundred pounds of
crushed lava rock to cover the larger lava.
Then we installed 2 18" stainless steel rings and just covered then with even more crushed lava. Then we poured canary
Yellow Topping and here you have it.
The fire pit below was designed and built by Jeffrey Stoutenborough in Santa Barbara, California.
The fire pit below has a
Black Base Glass with
Black Reflective Base Glass on top.Not too great of a fire pit picture but you get the idea. Even with
Black as a Base Glass you will only see the color of glass under the fire. The flames don't change color nor does the glass, but the glass is what will reflect the light at night.
Our propane burners were set to 100,000 btu's each for maximum heat. The glass that we used was Bronze Rust Copper Base Glass. Click Here to see the "Todd Gilbert Table!"
Below is just a nice propane fire table with Multi Mix Base Glass
The next several pictures show you a flip top box design for a fire pit control panel. It is constructed from stainless steel or could be made from aluminum. The trimming valves are for adjusting the flame are inside along with an electronic key to activate the
electronic ignition. These were made for an apartment complex and only the management had control of the electronic ignition. Here are the pictures.
These two separate boxes were made to fit each specific fire pit.
The next 27 pictures are of the Dominic Fire Water Feature finished and ready for crating/ shipping.
