The amount of fire media you need depends on the size of your burner area and the type of media you’re using, such as fire glass, lava rock, or ceramic logs. To calculate the correct amount, follow these steps:
1. Measure Your Burner Area:
Start by measuring the diameter (for round fire pits) or the length and width (for rectangular fire pits) of the burner area. This will give you the surface area you need to cover with fire media.
2. Check Product Specifications:
Each type of fire media will have different coverage recommendations, which can usually be found in the product description. For example, certain models of fire glass will list how many pounds or cubic feet are needed to cover specific burner sizes.
3. Use Our Fire Glass Calculator:
For a quick and easy way to determine how much fire media you’ll need, use our Fire Glass Calculator. Simply enter the dimensions of your fire pit, and the calculator will help you figure out the exact amount of fire glass or other media required for full coverage.
