Nice! I love our fire pit and the kids ask nonstop to make s'mores! Stock up on marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers

We like to mix it up using different items for chocolate. A favorite is peanut butter cups instead of chocolate. Mint chocolates is a great one too. My favorite and easiest is to forgo the graham crackers and use fudge stripe cookies with a toasted marshmallow between.

PB thought the valve at the gas line was already in so he didn't bring one with him, just ring and pipes. He'll be back first thing in the morning to finish it up. He asked "Well, are you going to light it?" Uhhh, show me how you do that with out gas?

Is it all glass or did you do a layer of lava stone underneath?
We have a very similar blue colored glass but I did lava rock up until about 3" from the top, then the rest is glass. I'm considering changing out the glass from Blues & greens to clear as the blue-green tends to hide the fire light quite a bit. I would love to see a shot of yours at night for comparison.

I love her fire pit. The flagstone exterior is really nice. Unfortunately those glass colors wouldn't work for me because my firepit is red brick that matches the pavers -
I think clear might look good. I still like what I've got and the kids love playing with their "crystals". So no changes anytime soon.

It's pea gravel underneath with the same 3" of glass. I read not to use lava rock because it is porous and can trap gas which is not great. I mixed 50 lbs of dark blue with 25 lbs of light blue. Came out good. Might order another 10 lbs of the light blue to get a mound look to it.

Never had an issue with the lava rocks. But if anything explodes I'll let you know
Mine came pre-mixed from ASG and I used 75lbs as well. The screen cover I ordered on Amazon for $30. Helps keep leaves and debris out of the pit.

Wow what a beautiful setup! Love how everything came out. I can't wait to see the photos of it lit up.
