This stainless steel burner was designed and built by one of our dealers, Todd Janssen in Orange County, California. If you dream it, we can build it! This was build for a custom shaped fire pit.

The fire pit below is filled with lava rock and then was topped with a base of Clear base glass. Then they covered the Clear with Azurlite and topped it with a few Ice Ice Ice cubes. A funny story comes with this fire pit. Elliott came out from the San Fernando Valley as he was sent by his mother, which was tooooo busy to come out herself. She told Elliott to pick out the colors he liked which he did (he was told to pick amber colors). He went home with Amber and gold and set up the fire pit which actually looked very nice. Well to his demise his mother did not like Amber at all! She made Elliott pick out all of the Amber and replace it with what you see here. Yes we did exchange the glass for him to prevent his mother from further punishing Elliott. We will post the Amber pictures when we come across them in our files.

You have to try to understand, we see this transformation everyday and we still don't understand the lure to fake logs, do you? Take a closer look at your fireplace, is there anything nice about it in the daylight?

The fire pit below has a black Base with Black Reflective on top.Not too great of a fire pit picture but you get the idea. Even with Black as a base glass you will only see the color of glass under the fire. The flames don't change color nor does the glass, but the glass is what will reflect the light at night.

The fire pit below is in Newport Beach California at Newport Coast Development. We replaced a hot spark ignition which did not work, with our IPI (intermittent Pilot Ignition) electronic ignition system.  The fire pit was 18" deep ands 48" across. This is what was installed:
1 IPI Electronic Ignition for Natural Gas connected to a 1" gas line
1300 lbs crushed lava
144 lbs Clear base glass for a 2" fill over the crushed lava
36" triple stainless steel burner ring
20 lbs Clear Topper
20 lbs Cobalt Blue Topper
20 lbs Copper Blue Topper
We will show your from beginning to end:
newport 1
Looked pretty nasty  when we got there
newport 2
newport 3
We started to pour the crushed lava with our electronic ignition being raised to the surface by the lava rock
newport 4
newport 5
We built a double box to protect the equipment in the fire pit as well
newport 6
The ring is now installed
newport 7
The electronics 
can be accessed if ever there was a failure of the equipment and you can access it from the surface. Before the equipment was 20 inches below the surface, not a very good idea!
newport 8
Now we poured the 144 lbs of Clear base over the crushed lava
newport 9
We only did the fire pit, not the view. That came with the home. But one very impressive view!
newport 10

Then we spread the Clear Topper, Cobalt Blue Topper and Copper Blue Topper over the Clear base

As you have looked at all of our pictures we would like you to know we use Crystals as our Toppers and Toppings. We don't use "Recycled" glass, ever! We are actually the only company that produces Crystals for fireplace and fire pits.

We tried to get pictures of it burning, but the flames just didn't show. Look above and you can see a flicker in the daylight. Actually the flames were over 16" tall but you can see this in daylight.The contractor will get a few night pictures when they and if they can.

The Fireplace below belongs to Candice, Jonathan and Rocky (a cute little Yorkie). We converted a plain fireplace to a much more usable and modern fireplace TV entertainment area. Watch the transformation from beginning to end. We topped it with Starfire to finish it off.

Below is Rocky, just supervising

We started the metal framing in 16 Gauge steel studs. No wood was used and you should never use wood near a fire.

This was wired for a surround sound and electrical in the left cabinets.

The TV that was used was a DPL (16" deep) and this is how you install a TV that is not a flat screen above your fireplace. In the left cabinets the components were installed and concealed by black glass doors.  On the top we installed a set of 6" lights on dimmers to give additional room/ mood lighting.

The ribbon burner below is made from 1/8" brushed stainless steel. The center was water jet cut and then we bent  the two center fins down to install the ribbon burner with electronic ignition. The base  plate measured 94" x 26" and was installed in San Diego, California. The architect is Kelly Crain of San 
Hopefully we will be sent the finished pictures of the fireplace.

We can build these in any size, shape, material and in natural gas or propane.
This was tested in the shop with a minimal of 1/4 lb of natural gas. This burner is capable of at least an 18" ribbon burn. If you look in the center you will see the ignition head for the electronic ignition.

The Electronic Ignition System below is a dual Ignition in one box. It was installed in a back to back set of fireplaces. The pictures below show the parts while being tested. Every system we build we test! We don't let any system go out unless it was tested several ways, especially propane!.

The surround below was built for Stacey in Laguna Niguel, California. She requested distressed copper which she got. From the edges on the interior being welded and polished to the antique distress. The surround looked great against the faux painted walls. The glass that was used was bronze rust copper.

The fireplace below was installed with a dual battery operated 100,000 BTU propane electronic ignition system. Each capable of 100,000 BTU's of fire. The first pictures show what we had to work with and how it progressed.
The glass that was used was Starfire, Gold and Ice Ice Ice.

The fireplaces we are about to show you are Sterling Silver Coated panels we have developed. No they are not just mirrors! (try it and let us know what happened). We are now working on a template procedure to send the customer to help us properly fit each panel. The first set of pictures are from David Barron in Southern California.

We used an 18" double stainless steel burner and a bed of Starfire topped with a few pounds of our Ice Ice Ice.
This is a very simple self installation as you will see.

On this page (as if you needed another page) We are going to show you how to build a basic fire pit for your deck/ back yard.
This was built by Glenn Harvey of British Columbia.
This first picture is the frame he had started with.
You can make one from metal studs, aluminum studs, etc. Anything non flammable.
GlennHarvey 1
Wrap it with wonder board or durock/ cement board.
GlennHarvey 2
Below you can also wrap it with wire for better adhesion to the backer board.
GlennHarvey 4
This fire pit was natural gas. We also manufacture the burners for propane. Well, we are the only ones who actually manufacture propane burners for your projects.
Below you can see the gas connection coming up from the deck. Glenn used a pan but he also could of used an aluminum/ stainless steel base plate as well. 
GlennHarvey 3
The stacker stone is now being applied.
GlennHarvey 5
As you can see below the trimming valve is installed on the side. You would be surprised on how many plumbers don't think of this little detail, a valve to turn it on or off. I have seen the valves installed inside of the pit or not even at all. You also need to be careful as to not have a gas line installed that is too small for the application.
GlennHarvey 8
Now the stone and cap are done, great and simple job!
GlennHarvey 6
GlennHarvey 7
Below you an see the larger filler lava rock was installed.  If a flat plate were to have been used you wouldn't need the larger filler lava rock base.
GlennHarvey 9
Below our crushed lava was used to cover the larger lava rock to insure the glass does not fall through. This makes an even base. What ever shape you make the lava is the shape the glass will take.
GlennHarvey 10
Below we installed Water White base glass (32 lbs) for a 1 1/2" cover! 
GlennHarvey 11
The stone on the side of the fire pit used was to match the stone on the house as well. Looks awesome!
GlennHarvey 12
Below is just the Water White before the colors were added.
GlennHarvey 13
The colors that were added are as follows:
Azurlite and Azurlite reflective for the sky area.
Brilliant Yellow R20F4 Topper for the sun center
Scarlett G072F3 Topping for the suns rays
Orange R140F4 Topper for the ring around the suns center
Emerald Green 1417 Topping  for the bottom trees/ grass?
Deep Blue 2507 Topper mixed in around the Azurlite in the sky area.
GlennHarvey 14
If you notice below the center of the sun, it changes when it get hot! This one of our chameleons  that change when the glass gets hot. If you look real close at the Orange Topper (next to the suns center) as well, it turns a bright cinnamon red when it get hot also! All of our chameleons will be posted when we get a chance. This is just another one of our product lines that we have not had time to further promote.
GlennHarvey 15
Above is the fire burning and
below the fire was just turned off.
Glenn spent a few hours placing all of the glass to make this very cool scene. So don't just think you can just throw it on and it knows were to go. Very creative!

The fire pit below is in San Francisco California. They use  one of out FPPK units. 

Here you can see the simple construction.

 The RV fire pit below and table was built by Kevin Harren. He pops the fire pit out when he goes camping and drops it back in the table he built when at home. Pretty cool idea! The glass he used was Starfire base glass.

The fireplace below is a direct vent fireplace in Arroyo Grande (Pismo Beach, California). We mounted the back and then attached the face. This surround was with out a perimeter of interior glass. We usually border a 2" band of glass all around the inside edge. We use aluminum for this project.

pismo 1

This is the standard black frame for the fireplace.

Below you can see the back of the surround attached to the fireplace.

The fire pit below is a custom fire pit in Covina California with one really great back yard design. This back yard was designed for great parties. If you look and see the glass wall with the etching you will also see the fire pit in the back ground. The glass that was used: Gray and Clear Pyrite base glass Gold Reflective Copper Blue Topper This is one really good looking table.
