Midwest Hearth Lava Rock for Fire Pits and Gas Log Sets, Red 1/2" to 2" (10-lb Bag)

Used for decorative landscaping effect and weed deterrent around outdoor flowering shrub. Perfect-and practical-accent that was very affordable.

I used these to fill bottom of large planters --lightweight to allow me to move pots, providing drainage, and reducing the amount of potting soil needed. Also would work in landscaping for drainage areas.

Some of these rocks are smaller than 1/2" however the color on them is a nice red mostly. A few of the rocks look like shale (solid) and not lava. Overall pleased with the item. Delivery was super fast.

Nice selection of lava rock! I would buy it again. The color is nice and it heats well. We use it for our firepit.

Bought this for my fire pit and it's exactly what I wanted ... a rustic look rather than polished stones. I liked the warning about popping during first time use. We used it immediately with none of the popping, but happy to have been warned. There are all different sized stones, larger ones can be easily broken smaller. I had more than I needed for the pit so I used the leftover in the bottom of my planter for drainage.

This product was great for indoor propane gas fireplace. I liked the different size stone. 1/2 inch to 2 inch mix . Average size fireplace and with one layer was enough. I also had some stone left over

The color of these rocks perfectly match the rocks already in my fire pit. The issue is most of them are crumbled, tiny pieces with very few larger sizes. Fortunately, we were only looking to fill in the rocks already in the pit so it's not a critical issue. I would have been greatly disapointed if we were the only rocks we were using. The would have barely covered the base of the pit area. If we decide to replace the current rocks at some point, I will got to a retail store to ensure I'm getting the size advertized.

These work well in outdoor gas fire pit. Yeah they come pretty wet and need to dry out, sometimes with a pop. But no worse than a wood fire is our experience.
