Use and Care Manual

Instructions
1. In the bucket, combine all of the water and vinegar (50/50 mixture).
2. Scoop the dirty fire glass from your pit and add it to the bucket (Hint: focus on the top
layer and around the edges or near the burner).
3. Use the scoop to stir the glass around in the solution to clean your fire glass thoroughly.
4. Remove the glass from the water / vinegar solution and place in the strainer.
5. Give the glass a final rinse using clean water (a garden hose makes it easy).
Particularly if you’re using the tempered variety, it’s a good idea to dry your glass completely
prior to using it again. This is because leftover moisture in cracked pieces can expand when
heated and produce a popping noise that might be jarring.
To dry your glass, spread it out on a plastic bag or tarp. It’ll dry quickly in the sunshine, but can
also be left overnight in a non-sunny area or even indoors.
A Couple of Important Pointers:
• Do not reuse the metal strainer for cooking afterwards. This is because small shards of
fire pit glass — not readily visible to the eye — could get caught in the mesh and pose a
serious health hazard. It’s better to reserve the strainer for non-food uses and keep it
somewhere safe, like a tool shed or garage.
• If you’re using liquid propane (LP) versus natural gas, it can result in more discoloration
to the glass pieces due to improper burning of the gas. This is easily fixable and is
addressed in the next section.
Now that you know how to wash your fire glass, we’d like to remind you that once again, you’ve
made an excellent choice in burning media. When used properly and cleaned regularly, your
fireplace glass will retain its color and sparkling beauty for many years to come. Happy Burning!
