Laurie from Denver asked:

I have a propane gas fire pit. Now, that I am customizing the pit, I'd like to buy material that will give off the most radiant heat possible. The pit came with lava rock but I'm also wanting to make it look nice. What do you recommend?

Common media used in gas fire pits include crushed glass or log sets.
