The fire pit/ table is at the Roxbury Hotel and we will show you the progress here from beginning to end. This was a propane installation with our FPPK burner. The colors used were:
1/4" starfire, 1/2" starfire, gold, Lime Green Topper, Pale Olive Green Topper, Olive Green Topper,a little bit of wood and tile and here you go!
Above shows the framing and the gas line coming in.
Below shows the pipe coming out of the floor and the thermo-coupler on the glass next to the igniter
Roxbury Hotel, a cool fire pit!
Here we are in the showroom/ shop and we have two color, platinum and bronze rust copper in the same fireplace. We have taken several shots to try to show the color variations.
The fire pit below has bronze and bronze reflective installed and is located in Canada. This is one very nice backyard make over!
The unique display of ICE is just that, cool.
You have to admit, our ICE looks like ICE! Another creative idea.
The fireplace below is a direct vent self install by Norm. The colors used were: Starfire base, Cobalt Blue Topper, Pale Cobalt Blue Topper, Ice Ice Ice, Pale Gray Topper, Gray Topper and Copper Blue Topper.
We use a piece of stainless steel in the front to contain the glass to cover the burners and keep the glass level.
The first project we are working on is the Maryland Hotel (Ivy Hotel now) Roof Top Fire Pit in downtown San Diego, California on the 7th floor roof top!
It measures 60" across, 30" tall and 144" long!
The fire table/ fire pit will and a 5' x 12' surface top in smooth concrete with a 16" x 120" stainless steel fire tray of to one side. We will post pictures as the project grows on.
Te fire pit is constructed with a new flexible track and about 3,000 screws, 240' of galvanized channel, 450 welds, 600 lbs of GFRC/ Wonder Board and coated in smooth texture concrete.
This was just before delivery, dry fit.
Once on the roof top the two halves were attached and the pan was installed
There were two burners and two controls installed
The glass is going in after the position of the fire table was adjusted. Pictures will be here soon!
If you look at the walls of the roof top you can see most of San Diego.
The table now has had a different coat of colored concrete applied and a granite top. The glass that is installed is starfire. The Hotel plumber was not very careful as he mixed the lava with the glass and now it looks like salt and pepper. We will be taking a trip to San Diego to fix this mixing issue because we would like to post finished pictures of the fire table burning at night time.
The fireplace below has:
A clear base with pale lime green topper, red toppings, yellow amber toppers and toppings, copper ruby red topper, and a hint of starfire to lighten the color up.
This is how easy it is to install. This is all glass and if you need to build it up a little or a lot then use a filler to save money
The propane vent less burner below shows where the sensor has to be and how it works. This is a stainless steel pan with gold glass for the test burn.
The fireplace below has a starfire base with red and red orange toppings, Scarlett toppers, copper ruby red toppers. As you can see the fireplace was 5" deep and 54" wide and yes we did fill it with crushed lava rock.
The fireplace below was on the outside wall of the fireplace above. We also had a starfire base with red and red orange toppings, Scarlett toppers, copper ruby red toppers. This fireplace was filled 4" to save on the cost of the base glass. If anyone ever tries to tell you different, well tell them *#@!+$% their wrong! This fireplace was also 54" across the front as well.
The fire pit below has a starfire base with ice on top. This is a concrete molded fire pit at the same home as above in Pasadena, California. Later there was 30 lbs of red added and maybe we can get more pictures.
The fireplace below is s typical simple install. Paint, glass, fire and your done. This is all starfire over an 18 18 burner and 1 can of paint, black. This is how simple it really is!
The fire pit below has azurlite as a base and ice on top making the letter Y
Below is just a nice propane fire table with multi mix

A very modern fireplace with starfire
The 2 outdoor fireplaces below are in northern California at the Hyatt. They called us about soot on the glass. When we looked at the pictures our first thoughts were PROPANE! No these are natural gas. The fix was actually very simple. This was caused by a down draft from the chimney which we partially closed the flue which stopped the down draft and as you can see they are just fine now.
The fireplace below has a starfire base with ice on top, pink diamonds, pink drops, clear diamonds and a splash of gold for added color. What make our company different is what we have to offer you as a customer, selection and variety!

Ed we love our new fireplace!! Wow, it is awesome and couldn't have been easier to set up. Made the purchase late Friday and it took me approx 2 hrs Saturday (while watching TV) to set up properly including paint and clean up. I did run into a small problem with the material continuously falling out of the fireplace . It seemed that I actually used too much material. I was able to resolve the problem by utilizing the original glass door frame as a decorative and very functional stop. It is held in place with clear silicon and the material was allowed to contact and dry into the silicon. ( see pics ) In my case this worked out well as my accent color is gold and so is the trim piece of the frame. I imagine this can be done on many fireplaces and the trim can be painted is needed to match. Feel free to use our pictures or the idea about the trim ( if it is original ) on your web site or sales presentations.
Thank you again

The fire pit below has azurlite, azurlite reflective, ford blue and ford blue reflective installed.
The fireplace below is a before and after with starfire.
Below is what we started with. We can fix anything!
The fireplace below has a starfire base with amber, pink and orange toppings.
The fireplace below has bronze and bronze reflective with ceramic tile on the outside, very modern and very nice!
The fireplace below has a starfire base with black, azurlite, azurlite reflective and a lot of work. Very nice!
The fire pit below will show you how not to do it (bad plumbing) and how easy it is to install a battery operated remote control. The glass used was ford blue and we installed 2 44" stainless steel "H" burners.
In the pictures on the top right, do you see the plumbing sticking out of the pit? Well this was fixed, but not by the plumber that tried to install it. We cut a little bit of concrete and placed the valve in properly.
Above you will see a very poor attempt of a gas burner and valve.
The picture above has our twin remotes inside the box protected from the weather.
We covered the larger lava rock with our crushed lava rock to pour a 1 1/2" ford blue base to cover the lava and burners. Unless you plan to cover your outdoor fire pit we recommend to use all stainless steel burners and parts to avoid rusting.
Once the glass covers the box, it just looks nice. To replace the batteries, move the glass on the top and the rest is simple.
The fire pit above is at the Torrance Marriott in California.
The fireplace below is in Hope Ranch, Santa Barbara, California. First we installed the double "H" burner.
Then we pour 2" of crushed lava rock as a base over the burners.
Now we pour the Black Magic (you'll soon see why).
The we add one match and poof, BLUE FLAMES!
The we start to add 8" fireballs
A total of 32 8" fireballs in natural color were added
The customer had a green theme and so we topped it off with our Green coating.
As the evening went on the ambient heat drew the flames higher trough the fireballs and the blue was just pure magic. The End!
The fireplace below is a self install by Joyce and Tom Dane from beginning to end. The fireplace was painted, converted and finished with pink rosa. This is a direct vent fireplace and for those of you who say it can't be done, well you just don't know how! We do and thousands of of customers do as well.
Above you can see they painted the interior and it now looks much better.
The lava filler underneath the burner.
Test the burner and pour the glass. There are so many who tell us this can't be done.
You can leave the doors on or take the doors off, which ever you prefer.
We actually prefer the doors and screens removed and finish with some sort of surround.
The fireplace below is in Beverly Hills and is also a self install direct vent fireplace. This fireplace was filled with gold and topped with a few pounds of platinum.
The old burner was removed and a new bottom plate was installed
Test the burner and thermo-coupler
The gold was added over the lava rock
and there you have it, fire! If your installer does not understand this then have then call us so we can guide them through the process.
The fireplace below is a propane self build and installed by Norm Oppliger in St. Louis. It has a 1/4" starfire base with 1/2' starfire on top and topping with:
Light Aquamarine topper
Turquoise blue topper
Cerulean Blue topping
Copper blue topper
Scarlett topper
Ice Ice Ice
and a few of our diamonds
one great propane self install Norm!
Hi Ed,
I finally managed to finish the fireplace. We have decided to place a 2" piece of metal in front (which hasn't been done yet), though, to keep the glass off the ledge. We thought it would be deep enough, but that didn't quite work.
To enable me to keep the center area smooth, we had to place the burner on top of the wall pipe, which created a rather high burner placement. This ended up creating a bit of a problem because I had a steep slope to the hearth. This is why I need to add the metal strip in front--so the glass doesn't roll down and come out of the fireplace. We had decided to not have a glass door on it, although if we find something we really like, that could change.
The pics might come in 2-3 e-mails, but I'll describe them here. The first few pics are duplicates of ones I already sent you.
1. Original fireplace, emptied out.
2-3. After painting with the dark blue from the chart you guys gave us. The wall was painted to match, although, I'm not sure I really like it. I'm trying to reserve judgement until I see it for awhile.
The damper handle is a brass duck head which wasn't even noticeable when it was all black.
4-5.New burner in place. This created more problems than expected due to the wall pipe being higher than most. We ended up using regular lava rock, since we couldn't find the smaller rocks. Then we added small pea gravel to fill in gaps around the lava rock. After the burner was finally level, we added the sand.
6. Testing the burner with sand added.
7. Clear glass base added.
8. Rest of colors were added--starfire, azurlite, cranberry-pink, with a little steel blue topper and a few ice cubes.
9-10. All finished and burning.
We're still working on the right side of this wall which has cabinets holding the TV and storage. Once the entire wall is finished, I'll send you one final pic of the entire wall. Not sure how soon that will happen, so don't wait for it, if you want to post these pics on your website.
I want to thank you for all your help. Your store was great to visit, so we could pick our glass out in person. Your staff was very helpful and we had a great time making our final color choices. I'll will definitely recommend you to others.
The fireplace below was done with ford blue and for blue reflective
The fireplace below has a propane burner under all of the sand, clear ice and black luster topper.
The fire pit below is a 36" round stainless steel pan with a 24" stainless steel ring. The glass is bronze rust copper. This pan can easily be adapted for propane as well.
The pictures below are of the fire pit on the roof top of the Marriott in downtown San Diego in the Gas Lamp District on the 24th floor, very cool view if your ever there. The 2 half round 24" x 48" stainless steel rings were made custom for this fire pit. The glass that was used was a 50/50 mix of starfire and black. Very nice effect along with the view.
The half round burners below were installed at the Marriott "Gas Lamp" San Diego, California in a 72" Fire pit. We will post pictures of the finished project when we get the pictures sent to us. These were 24" x 48" stainless steel half round burners.
The fire pit below was designed by Dwayne in Arizona at www.artistichomesolutions.com
We used bronze glass and stainless steel burners in this fire pit on the roof top. Great design and view.
The flat pan below has a propane burner installed for a fire pit. These are made in any size, shape or burn pattern. The one shown below is an electronic ignition control and these can be adapted with manual ignition as well. This was build for a designer in New York and placed on a shelf of the fireplace.
The pan burner below is a stainless steel/ propane pan for outdoors and we have installed an electronic ignition under the pan. These can also be made for natural gas.
The fireplace below has a starfire base with pale copper blue topper and blue tubes topper.
The three fireplaces below are of fire stones and fire balls in Los Angeles which were featured in Dwell Magazine. These are before and after pics.
The fireplace below had starfire installed for a clean simple look.
The table below was built for Jim Shaw in Riverside California. The stainless steel tray with stainless steel burners was build to Jim's specs. We used bronze glass, bronze reflective glass and pink diamonds.This was a natural gas burner and could be easily converted to propane.
The fireplace below has a clear base with emerald green topper. As you can see with this self install how easy it actually is.
The fire table below is a propane model and is a very easy conversion. Just call and we will convert it for you and or show you how. The glass used was a layer of black lava under the base of grey glass, black luster topper with copper ruby red topper. This fire table belongs to Eric Bergman in Palm Springs and he loves it.
The fire pit below is a failed attempt of a propane conversion without our help in the beginning. You can't just burn propane! If you try this, this is what it will look like. You need to calibrate the amount of air to propane or it will back fire, burn black or explode! We recommend a thermo coupler, air mixer/ venturi along with several other important factors. We won't tell you who tried this but we will tell you we did fix the issue and now the customer is very happy. We did use azurlite with azurlite reflective.
The fireplace below is a propane pan burner with a lava rock fill. You don't want to crush your own lava rock because of the time. You can use larger lava around the edges of the pan but you will want to use crushed lava in the pan up to the surface of the burners. The glass use in this fireplace was a ford blue base with ford blue reflective on top. Topped with clear pyrite and amber accents. The install went very well except for the rock crushing episode.
Below we have the fire pit that we installed for Reba! In Nashville Tennessee.
Here is her stainless steel fire pit pan as we manufactured it for propane with electronic ignition.
Below is a 36" aluminum pan burner for propane with a 3" outside lip. These can be made to fit any fire pit, fire table of fire fit for natural gas or propane. We can build anything! This pan has a thermo-coupler for safety and air mixer built in to eliminate soot.
Now here is the fire pit with evergreen, evergreen reflective, blue green and blue green reflective installed. We also drifted withe the camera and took a few shots of the back yard on the river in her back yard. Enjoy. You can also visit www.reba.com for some real cool information and pictures.
The fire pits below are located in Laguna Beach California at the Cliff Restaurant
5775 South Coast Highway Laguna Beach 92651
We used a clear base with azurlite on top with azurlite reflective. Then we added emerald green topper and copper blue topper which turns green when it gets hot. Then it turns back. Because the chrome is seen when its cold and the copper changes the color to green when it get 500 degrees.
The pictures below are from Iggy in New York. He sent me a picture of his fireplace and asked me what we can do to help him. Well sit down and watch. A new pan, hood, surround, tile and starfire! Nice insert, not! Just like "Nice Logs", not!
below is a template for the stainless steel pan
Below we added a pan
Below we added a vent which was taken out years ago.
Above you can see the the key valve and below you don't see it. Because we made a removable panel!
There you have it in Rochester New York, Iggy it looks great.
The fireplace below is a direct vent self installation with a starfire base and hyacinth topper. There are a few fireplace companies who say this can't be done, really! So I guess this doesen't really didn't happen, did it?
Above you see all the components that make a direct vent work
and below you see the finished product. This was completed by Teresa Leets, an attorney in Los Angeles. So much for those fireplace guys.
The fire pit below can be purchased complete or we can manufacture the drop in kit for any table in any size or material/ media. That's what we do, we create and invent for you the customer. We take it one step further for you. We take an idea and create it from your ideas.
Check out the next 23 pictures on this new fire, rock, glass and water feature.
This new product will allow you to convert any table into a fire table. We can build these with a natural gas burner or even a propane burner. We can add fibre optics, water, fire, firestones, fireballs, fireshapes, lava, sand, glass or anything else you can dream of. These are the first pictures of these bowl which come in dozens of sizes. The glass that was used in this bowl was dark red orange topper and yellow amber topper. This bowl was set up with one of our 12" fppk propane burners.
We will be posting our bowl sizes in standard and as for custom we can make anything. We will also be posting dozens of pictures of the other projects as we have time, like we didn't post enough already?
The fire pit below has a "FPPK" propane burner installed and the burners were exchanged out for stainless steel. If you were to leave the steel burners in you will eventually have rust pouring out of your fire pit onto the patio which will not look very attractive! The glass used was 1/2" gray and ford blue. The controls were inside the bottom housing, nice fire pit but almost a big oops.
nice design.
below you can see where the controls were to be mounted
above you can see the steel ready to rust and make a mess. Remember you get what you pay for.
The fireplace below has starfire installed. Actually this is the fireplace of my Farmers Insurance agent. Nice job Adrian!
You can leave the doors on or remove them. If you remove them you should hang on to them as you may want them back one day.
.
he fire pit below has an azurlite base with azurlite reflective on top. Then topped with pale lime green topper and aqua marine topper.
CBS series "Moonlight"
Back in September, CBS and Warner Bros. invited Monsters and Critics to tour the sets of their new vampire thriller series, “Moonlight,” starring Alex O’Loughlin, Sophia Myles, Shannyn Sossamon and Jason Dohring.
Since then, the series has taken off like a rocket in popularity.
Many fan websites have popped up, and diehard fans of Alex O'Loughlin turned out to support him and donate toys for the charity Christmas toy drive at the Pole Position Raceway in Corona this past weekend.
Many of you read the set-tour piece and submitted "talkback" questions for the set decorator, Chris Marsteller.
Chris has kindly responded to all your questions:
From the Set Tour talkback:
fireplace with crystals, "Aquatic Glassel"
What are the crystals used in the fireplace? How does it work?
The crystals are actually small pieces of tempered glass. There is a flame bar below and the the flames pass through the glass providing us with our effect for Mick's fire place provided by www.Moderustic.com
Has anyone ever told you "Nice Logs" ? Nooo, I don't think so.
