About This Product

Natural volcanic lava rocks are excellent base layers and cost-effective fillers for gas fire pits and fireplaces. Fire glass, ceramic balls and other decorative fire pit products can be added on top of the fire rock for effect. If you like the look of these angular lava rocks alone, theyre an affordable way to fill a fireplace. Lava rock is available in two sizes and colors.

Highlights

  • Improves flame performance by spreading the gas dispersion in all directions, ideal on its own or as a base layer underneath fire glass, or even mixing the lava and glass together
  • Gas compatible, for use in indoor and outdoor natural gas and propane fireplaces and fire pits; perfect to replace faux fire log sets
  • Eco-friendly and safe for indoor and outdoor applications; no color additives or chemicals
  • Hassle-free installation: lava rock is easy to install, simply pour straight from the bag into your fire pit or fireplace
  • Guaranteed heat-proof: quality inspected and tested for use in high heat installations; 100% fireproof and will not melt or discolor with proper use

                  What Customers Say
                  Summarized by generative AI from text of customer reviews

                  Customers say the lava rocks are generally effective for use in fire pits and landscaping, providing good heat retention and aesthetic appeal. However, many noted that the size of the rocks often did not match expectations, with some bags containing smaller pieces or excessive dust. The product is considered somewhat expensive for the quantity received, leading to mixed feelings about its value. Overall, while the rocks perform well, customers recommend being cautious about their use in fire pits due to potential safety concerns with moisture.

                  I am going to assume that the wrong product was shipped because what I got are light gray rocks. No problem, Home Depot is very good at exchanging things. I can't use them because the area is already covered with black lava rocks and I was just filling in some bare spots. Photos attached show the four gray with my original black.

                  Absolute Garbage -- Do Not Buy!
                  This product is dangerous and should not be used in a fire pit. It crackles and pops like popcorn and explodes when exposed to flame. If customer service responds and tells me it only explodes when it is wet; I will call them out on their response as I kept the flame at its lowest setting to "dry" the moisture out. Pieces of lava rock are exploding and landing over 10' from my fire pit. Several pieces landed on adjacent patio furniture and burned holes.

                    Insufficient lava rock coverage
                    The particular fire pit I bought was ordered through Home Depot. The information page included additional materials that others had purchased. Regarding the red lava rock, it was suggested to purchase 10 pounds. Actually, it took a total of 40 pounds to cover the burner!

                    Exploding rock
                    We bought this lava rock for our gas fire pit in February. It worked great until July, for some reason the rock started popping and loosing its color. This makes me believe that it is not actual lava rock.

                    Hello Kelly, we apologize we did not meet your expectations. Lava rock would only change color if the air mixer vial is not mixing the air and gas properly, and in this case we would recommend you contact a local licensed plumper. Also, Lava Rock would pop if there is water or any type of moisture within it. You would need to need to dry them off by burning it off on low heat for 10-20 mins before reusing. It is our goal to provide the best product and outstanding customer service with every transactions. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us. Thank you, Yard Elements Customer Care

                      not as described
                      The description states the rocks would be 1-3" and black. What we received is a bag of a few mid sized (1-3"} rocks but more than 50% of the bag was small 1/2" rubble, also the color was a dark grey, not black. We are returning.

                        Waste of money! Received 3 10lb bags of pebbles and dust! Some of the pebbles were just random stones and not lava rock. Only a handful of the rocks were larger than 1 inch.
