Midwest Hearth Vermiculite Granules for Gas Logs - 12 oz Bag

The media could not be loaded. Arrived overnight. Using to replace old vermiculite. Looks great. Even my old logs look better. Laid vermiculite on the bottom. Covered with the steel wool looking stuff. Size of bag was perfect.

I use this on top of the heavy duty foil under the gas elements to catch the drips from grilling. Works great, easier to use than sand or? Easily changes out 1-2 times a year. Wrap up in the foil and discard !

It works as expected and looks very realistic with rock wool and lava rock with a natural gas fireplace with gas logs.

Quality

Great quality and realism

This vermiculite I received is what you see in the picture under the logs in the fire pan (very fine grain vermiculite, not coarse as advertised). The vermiculite you see outside the box at the outer sides is true coarse vermiculite, that I bought two years ago, another brand out of business. Three star passing grade, because it does function enough to displace the propane flame to avoid the backyard propane burner effect. Two stars off for advertising it’s coarse, when it is not and therefore not as appealing.

Great price, product looks great when fireplace is on or off. We put this in a three sided indoor gas fireplace. The results are great.

12oz bag had about 4ozs of powder (about 3 cups worth). They must've scraped the bottom of the barrel for this. I had to separate the granules from the powder using a strainer that had holes the size of a pin head. Once I put the larger granules in the fireplace, they never glowed. The bag was so old it fell apart in my hand when I tried to open it. Maybe that's why it had so much powder in it, the granules were so old.
