burner is invisible. Do not cover more than 1” above the top of the burner. When purchasing Lava Rock it is recom
mended to use minimum of 1” diameter as a base to fill the burner pan. Decorative glass covering may be loosely
scattered on top of the rock if desired or non-combustible logs may be added for a campfire look. If logs are
chosen, do not place on decorative glass base, use only Lava Rock as the base.
