Do I cover the burner with fire glass?

Should I cover the burner with fire glass, or should I leave it exposed? Yes, you should cover the burner — but only with just enough fire glass so that it’s not visible.

How does a fire glass work?

Fire glass acts as a permeablefiller for gas fire pits and fireplaces.
