These are our first electronic ignition systems which are Honeywell modulated and controlled. These units are capable of 415,000 BTU's. The stainless steel boxes require 110 volts and measure 13" x 13" x 4" and are water tight. They come with a 60" maximum ignition lead and can be used on propane or natural gas. The newest models are 13" x 8" x 4" now!

The fireplace below had a battery operated remote control installed.
The fireplace below was done for Nick Cannon (now married to Mariah Carey)(www.nickcannon.com/ ) in Hollywood Hills California. We installed a remote control inside of the fireplace on the left side as you will see. The remote control was an IPI (Intermittent Pilot Ignition) so the pilot light only goes on when you turn the fireplace on with the remote control. We use a lava base filler and topper it with 1/8" Black for a very fine layered look. The fireplace was coated with a high heat concrete mix to make it look wider and lower. A very contemporary look and it looks great.
The remote is on the lower left side with crushed lava all around

and now you have one very simple but unique fireplace. You almost can't see the remote because of the glass color. The remote was to go inside the left cabinet but the plumber forgot to show up, oh well. But it's done and everyone is happy.

The fire pit below is in Glendale, Arizona at the Renaissance Hotel. We installed an electronic ignition with a 30" stainless steel ring. The glass use was a clear base with Starfire on top and topped with 42 lbs of Apricot Topper. These pictures were taken with the edges still exposed which were covered by a layer of Starfire.

The two boxes below are our IPI battery operated electronic ignitions which are 100,000 btu rated. The exterior boxes are for protection from the weather and keep the unit and batteries safe and dry. These are typically installed under the glass in a fire pit our doors under the glass or in a sub panel just like our 110 volt electronic 415,000 btu units.

The fire pit below was another failed attempt from a company called Fire By Design in Nevada. They helped these customers design a propane fire pit with an electronic ignition (fair at best) and with the lack of knowledge about propane here is the failed attempt. The ring was to placed above the glass according to the manufacture (wrong!). There was no air mixer/ venturi let alone calibrating for proper air mixture to insure a clean burn. The company would not even return any calls to the customer and we repaired the system and made it work properly. This home was on the beach in South Florida.

Several thing went wrong here, wrong filler (lava was too large), Bad cage design over the pilot light/ ignition, they buried the ignition system under the ring and glass, the ring was left on the surface, no air mixer, no customer support, the ring that was supplied was a steel ring for outdoors, wrong! This should of been a stainless steel ring and a strong recommendation for a cover because it was at the beach! We would of also given the option of a #304 stainless steel marine grade ring. We also manufacture our our rings as well.

The twin ribbon burners below are 50" long each and powered be an electronic ignition. The will be installed in Santa Barbara California.As soon as the installation is complete we will post the finished pictures of the burners. They will be installed one in front of the other to create two walls of fire.

These we mock up shots with very low pressure in the shop and when they get installed you will be able to see the potential of these burners.
javier 4
The ignition system that was powering these burners is a 110 volt 415,000 btu system. The control of the flame height can only be done manually as electronic control is not available as of yet for this unit.

We have over the last few years helped design and and sold dozens of custom fireplaces. The one here was installed in Beverly Hills, California. We designed the fireplace, custom candle pan burner with electronic ignition. We used a Clear base glass fro a simple a modern look. We will be posting the pictures as we have time in the near future.

We did the fireplace not the white onyx. What we did does not show but it's what made the fireplace what it is, designED !

If you take the time to notice the nice texture of the glass. It's because we tumble it (patent pending) that's what also make us and our glass different from anyone else.

The fire pit below is in Marksville Louisiana and is at the Paragon Casino. The fire pit had an 18' fire ring installed in #304 stainless steel. The was done in and aluminum trough with 10 individual center feed burners. The gas line was a 1 1/2" and 5 lbs of pressure at 7" water column on natural gas. The ignition system is a Honeywell Infrared Flame Detection system. We will post more information on these larger fire features.

The fire pit below is in Newport Beach California at Newport Coast Development. We replaced a hot spark ignition which did not work, with our IPI (intermittent Pilot Ignition) electronic ignition system.  The fire pit was 18" deep and 48" across. This is what was installed:
1 IPI Electronic Ignition for Natural Gas connected to a 1" gas line
1300 lbs crushed lava
144 lbs Clear base glass for a 2" fill over the crushed lava
36" triple stainless steel burner ring
We will show your from beginning to end:
newport 1
Looked pretty nasty  when we got there
newport 2
newport 3
We started to pour the crushed lava with our electronic ignition being raised to the surface by the lava rock
newport 4
newport 5
We built a double box to protect the equipment in the fire pit as well
newport 6
The ring is now installed
newport 7
The electronics  can be accessed if ever there was a failure of the equipment and you can access it from the surface. Before the equipment was 20 inches below the surface, not a very good idea!
newport 8
Now we poured the 144 lbs of Clear base over the crushed lava

We only did the fire pit, not the view. That came with the home. But one very impressive view!

As you have looked at all of our pictures we would like you to know we use Crystals as our Toppers and Toppings. We don't use "Recycled" glass, ever! We are actually the only company that produces Crystals for fireplace and fire pits.

We tried to get pictures of it burning, but the flames just didn't show. Look above and you can see a flicker in the daylight. Actually the flames were over 16" tall but you can't see this in daylight.The contractor will get a few night pictures when they and if they can.

The ribbon burner below is made from 1/8" brushed stainless steel. The center was water jet cut and then we bent  the two center fins down to install the ribbon burner with electronic ignition. The base  plate measured 94" x 26" and was installed in San Diego, California. The architect is Kelly Crain of San Diego.

We can build these in any size, shape, material and in natural gas or propane.
This was tested in the shop with a minimal of 1/4 lb of natural gas. This burner is capable of at least an 18" ribbon burn. If you look in the center you will see the ignition head for the electronic ignition.

The fireplace below was installed with a dual battery operated 100,000 BTU propane electronic ignition system. Each capable of 100,000 BTU's of fire. The first pictures show what we had to work with and how it progressed.
The glass that was used was Starfire, Gold and Ice Ice Ice.

The next several pictures show you a flip top box design for a fire pit control panel. It is constructed from stainless steel or could be made from aluminum. The trimming valves are for adjusting the flame are inside along with an electronic key to activate the electronic ignition. These were made for an apartment complex and only the management had control of the electronic ignition. Here are the pictures.

The next two fire pits were at the same location, Newport Beach California.

We installed an electronic ignition in each fire pit. We will explain as we move on:

Electronic Ignition box 1

These are spark to pilot ignition systems. Notice the 1/4 turn ball valve on top of the ignition box.

Electronic Ignition box 2

We then made a flip top box to access the valve to adjust the flame height.

Electronic Ignition box 3

Electronic Ignition box 4

Electronic Ignition box 5

We used the old burners that were already in the fire pit previously.

Electronic Ignition box 6

We filled the fire pit up with the rock that was previously installed.

Electronic Ignition box 7

Then we covered everything back up with their lava. The flip top box was also covered with lava. We just left it exposed so you could see how this was done.

Both fire pits were electronically controlled by a Questron system. Simply by power on or power off. The flame can only be adjusted manually.

Electronic Ignition box 8

 

The next set of fireplace pictures are from Jim Malless. We made a 4" tall pan and installed a battery operated  remote control under the pan. The pan has a removable front face to conceal the components. The glass that he installed is:

Starfire base,

Clear base under the Starfire, (more cost effective)

and a few Amber Diamonds!
