Lava rock, embers, sand and vermiculite

Golden Blount Fireplace and Fire Pit Media

Media is the cheapest part of a gas fire and the one that most changes how it looks. Embers and lava rock are what carry the glow between the logs, and running the wrong one, or none, is why some installations never look right.

  • Material and bag size: Black cinders, 8 lb bag, Fireplace embers, large bag, Fireplace sand, 10 lb bag, Large lava rock, 40 lb bag, Vermiculite, 1 lb bag
  • Embers carry the glowA large bag of fireplace embers spread across the burner is the single cheapest upgrade to how a gas log set looks when it is lit.
  • Lava rock for fire pits and pansLarge lava rock runs between the burner and the logs on a fire pit. It spreads the flame and shields the burner.
  • Sand and vermiculite are not the same jobSand is a propane base material. Vermiculite is the ember bed carrier. Using one where the other belongs is a common and visible mistake.

Running the right media is a code question too

Base material differs between natural gas and propane appliances. Tell us the fuel and the appliance on the quote form and we will send the media the manufacturer specifies, rather than whatever is in the van.

How to get a price and lead time

Golden Blount is quoted rather than listed, because the right configuration depends on the firebox, the fuel, the venting and the control. Send the project details on the quote form on this page and you get back the exact assembly, the lead time and the freight arrangement in writing.

Builders and fireplace contractors working on more than one project at a time should open a trade account. It gets you drawings, submittal documents and a single point of contact across jobs.

If this is a repair rather than a new installation, send a photo of the firebox and the valve. That identifies the part faster than any part number search.

Common questions
Which media does my fireplace need?It depends on the appliance and the fuel. Tell us both on the quote form and we will send what the manufacturer specifies.
What do embers do?Spread over the burner they glow, which is what makes a gas log set look like a fire rather than a flame. It is the cheapest visual upgrade available.
Sand or vermiculite?Sand is a base material used on propane appliances. Vermiculite carries the ember bed. They are not interchangeable.
How much lava rock does a fire pit take?It depends on the pan depth and diameter. Give us the pit size and we will tell you how many bags.
