    Fire glass is glass that has been tempered to endure high heat. The glass can be placed in a gas-powered backyard fire pit to provide a beautiful flame experience. Fire glass is a low-maintenance and cleaner option than wood. Fire glass comes in rounded pebbles or can have a more jagged appearance. Both glasses will go through a smoothing process to make them safe for home use. When choosing a good bag of fire glass for your fire pit, consider the look you would most prefer. Some amber-colored glasses may provide a more natural fire look, while those in cool colors or clear glass may offer more of a shiny, ethereal experience. Check the product’s ability to endure high heat.
