The amount of fire glass required depends on the size and depth of your fire pit. A general guideline is to fill the pit with a 1 to 2-inch layer of fire glass to ensure proper flame coverage and heat distribution. To estimate the quantity:

1. Measure the length, width, and depth of your fire pit's firebox.
2. Calculate the volume (length √ó width √ó depth).
3. Convert the volume to pounds or kilograms based on the fire glass density provided by the manufacturer.

It's helpful to check product details or consult with Walmart associates to find the right amount for your specific fire pit model.

Fire glass offers several advantages compared to traditional lava rocks:

• Aesthetic appeal: Fire glass comes in various colors and reflective finishes that create a sparkling, modern look.
• Heat efficiency: It retains and radiates heat effectively, helping to warm your space.
• Low maintenance: Fire glass doesn't produce ash or soot, making cleanup easier.
• Durability: It lasts longer without degrading or crumbling like some natural rocks.

These benefits make fire glass a popular choice for enhancing both the look and function of gas fire pits.
