What is Fire Glass?
A bag of fire glass is small bits of tempered and colored glass made to go into your fireplace or fire pit. Many times fire glass comes from recycled glass. The conventional way manufactures make Fire glass is to create a tempered pane of dyed glass that is 1/2, 3/4, or 1/4 inches thick, polish it with a high-temperature laminate, then break it. The bits go into a machine that smooths out the edges. Since this is tempered glass, it will not soot, pop, or stink like regular glass.
