ONLY ONE THING CAN SAVE THE NIGHT AND KEEP YOUR SUAREE GOING ALL NIGHT LONG- AND THAT IS RED 3/4 INCH LAVA ROCK. these lava rock work like a CHARM. pieces were the PERFECT size and they filled the pit PERFECTLY. they added a nice touch to the traditional fire pit scene, and for that i will be forever thankful. THANK YOU MAKERS OF FIREPROOF AND HEATPROOF VOLCANIC ROCK LAVA, FOR MAKING A PRODUCT THAT NOT ONLY MEETS ITS NEEDS, BUT EXCEEDS THEM, AND FOR MAKING A PRODUCT THAT ALLOWS ME TO MAKE MEMORIES. ITS RARE IN THIS DAY IN AGE TO FIND A PRODUCT SO AUTHENTIC AND HIGH QUALITY THAT I WOULD TAKE 12 MINUTES OUT OF MY LIFE TO WRITE A REVIEW SUCH AS THIS ONE. thank you lava rock makers, for truly enhancing my life.

I needed to add Lava rocks to fill in my gas log set. I picked this one only because the rocks looked like the ones I already had, and the price was reasonable as compared with other online sights. I measured my rocks to get a good match. It did take 12 days to arrive (including the weekends). Very pleased with the quality. They look exactly like the photo, are not dusty, a nice amount of 10 lbs filling an 11 x 8 x 6 inch postal box.

The rocks are not uniform in size. Actually, I didn’t expect to see so many small rocks. They actually fell through the holes in the base of my barbecue. I had to layer the larger rocks on the bottom of my grill to prevent the smaller ones from falling through. Even with that said, it works OK.

I put this in my fireplace under my grate along with the orange acrylic beads from Amazon. Looks like ashes and embers. Everyone says my electric (no heat) fireplace log looks real now!

It's funny to write this, but these were a great box of rocks. They were of good size and have worked well in our chiminea. Personally, I wouldn't order any rocks smaller than these as some of these were in the 2-3 inch range.

The fact that the weight of the rocks were much heavier than those currently in the portable LP fire pit should have caught our attention as a warning sign that these things were DANGEROUS, because it meant that they were more dense (as compared to the rocks that came with the fire pit) and wouldn't be able to handle the heat from the flame!!! On a non-humid 65 degree summer evening in Oregon, under a covered concrete patio, within minutes, the rocks began cracking and popping such that it was sending 1/2" and larger sized pieces of lava rock shooting every which direction about every 5-10 seconds. Some hitting us directly, while others shot upwards of 8 - 12' in the air hitting the underside of patio cover. Reminded me of the sound of a bag of popcorn popping in the microwave, to which we promptly turned off the fire pit and called it a night. Thank goodness nothing nearby was damaged or worse yet, none of us (4 adults) were injured. The following morning it looked like someone had peppered the patio area with pieces of lava rocks. Did we return them? No...for $20 they aren't worth our time to fuss with it, but rather just tossed them in the garbage and purchased locally. Buyer BEWARE!

Unfortunately the weather has not allowed us to use our fire pit much this year. However, I’ve been looking for additional rock in a reasonable size bag and price since our original purchase of the pit and your product was it. We were able to fill the center of our pit to our liking and it looks great. The quality of the lava rock is comparable to the original rock. We are thrilled.

We purchased a few packages of these lava rocks for our outdoor fire pit. We finally got it built and turned it on. We had it on low and pretty soon pieces were flying off. Once I contacted the seller I was told they had received a lot of rain and the rocks could be full of water. Maybe our low heat was still “too high” to let them dry out even though they did not seem wet (but I’m not an expert). We read the directions and safety precautions. Not sure why we kept having issues, but the company made it right with us so we have nothing bad to say. The color was not really black, more reddish so maybe that was the issue? Either way heat them slow and pay attention so you do not get hurt. Based on reviews it seems hit and miss on if they explode, but there seem to be more people with good reviews, just follow directions.
