Constructed of catalytic grade ceramice wool & coated with a small amount of Platinum - they will not deteriorate when burned.
Platinum coating facilitates more complete gas combustion. This creates a warmer, brighter ember

Platinum Bright Glowing Embers by Advanced Catalyst Systems Produce an amazing look giving you a warmer, flickering ember! - Last a lifetime! - looks like real wood embers! This includes approximately 5 grams of ember material.*** For use with Vented Log Sets only ***
How do I know how much ember material to purchase? Right now the firebox has nothing in it but the grill, gas burner, and fire logs. Do I need anything under the embers?
1 Answer
These embers are only intended for use in conjunction with glowing embers that are included with vented gas log sets. The size of the log set will determine the amount of embers you get with that set, and then one bag of these platinum bright embers is used to accent those embers.

Does this product contain asbestos or any other dangerous chemical that could affect the lungs indoors?
1 Answer
As these embers are only suitable for use with a vented gas log set, any byproducts would be vented up through the existing chimney. If installed properly, there would be no danger to the consumer.

Can these Platinum bright glowing embers for vented gas log sets be used in a non-vented unit?
1 Answer
These embers are meant for a vented application only. Their catalytic nature means that they break down slowly, releasing byproducts into the air. The fireplace must be vented for these byproducts to escape.
I do not recommend using this product in a ventless ethanol fireplace. The embers will not become hot enough to glow properly and can also release harmful combustion byproducts when heated. As such, they should only be used in a vented application.

Just as described on website. Glow is realistic, and gets brighter and dims just as real embers do. When not lit, embers look like ash covered embers.
Simple, and just as described
Could have used just a few more embers

Great enhancement
Most fireplace kits will already come with embers, so I wasn't sure I should buy the add-on. Boy, am I glad that I did. The PBGE are fantastic with a very large and bright glow. A great enhancement over the standard embers. Highly recommend this add-on, or just add to any gas log fireplace set.

Looks so real!
Adding the Platinum Bright Glowing Embers to the embers that came with the log set provides a very realistic appearance to the entire fire setting.

A touch of reality
When applied around the base, you have an appearance of chunks of burned wood. Just don't sneeze during installation. Everything is just sitting on the top.

A very nice option addition. Not required but looks really good.
This is my third gas log fireplace in our house and I have never used these before. Pleasantly surprised and will add them to my other two, as well as the fourth one we still need to set up.

renewed my gas log set!
I cleaned up my 17 year old vented gas log set that the birds in my chimney pooped on for years (prior to my purchasing the house). The Fireside Volcanic Granules for Fireplace Floor look great, but the 1 bag was barely enough for my 36 inch wide fireplace...I wish I would have gotten a 2nd bag. On the flipside, the big bag of Platinum Bright Glowing Embers was more than enough...I didn't even use half of the bag (the small bag would be just right, I think). One bag of sand was more than enough (24" log set). And the bag of glowing embers was also more than enough. So the quantities are great except for the lava rock.

Looks great, need more
The embers look much better since I added these platinum ones. Only thing is, they don't give you a whole lot and there are no directions. After putting them down, I learned from a YouTube video to pull them apart. So I had to buy another bag and redo it. I tried picking them out after my mistake, but I only came up with a handful.
Looks fantastic
Need directions and a little more.

The additional glow given off by these embers really set off the whole experience of the gas logs. No more cleaning ashes but it looks like you have them during a fire

Magic
I really do not know how these things work but they are just great. They make the gas log fire look so realistic. I only hope that some day I can figure out just what it is that makes them glow just like real embers in a real fire.
By Randy fromonMarch 6, 2008
excellent
If you take the time to place the embers, you can get a very real look of a wood burning fire...they work very well
