What happens here
After confirming that the gas connections are secure and leak-free, the final step involves adding the decorative infill material. The speaker mentions that "glass or stone infill" will be placed over the brass burner, obscuring the pipes and leaving only "the tips of these nozzles" barely visible. Carefully pour the chosen fire glass, lava rock, or other approved fire media over the entire burner, ensuring an even distribution. Take care not to completely cover the burner ports or the pilot light ignition area (if applicable) to ensure proper flame distribution and ignition. This creates the aesthetic "campfire" effect mentioned in the video.
Goal: Aesthetically complete the fire pit by adding decorative fire-rated media.
