No, these gems are specifically designed for gas fire pits and fireplaces. They should not be used in wood-burning units, as the intense, direct heat and soot from wood fires can damage the glass and create a safety hazard.

You can either replace your lava rocks entirely or use the glass gems as a top layer. If you choose to layer them, ensure the burner ports remain clear and unobstructed to maintain proper flame performance.

These gems are made from high-quality tempered glass engineered to withstand high heat. They are resistant to discoloration, so the vibrant ruby color should remain consistent even with regular use.
