These lava rocks were of varying sizes. And many so small that they fell right through the great, and could not be used. I barely had enough lava rocks to cover the whole grill.

In my 7lb bag, about 12 ounces (9%) of the rocks fell through the grate and were unusable. The rock grate in my grill has about one inch between bars. That said, the rocks that stay on the grate work perfectly well.

It’s red and black so I sorted it by colour but it’s great in my fresh water tank!

It's lava rock! What's not to like? Great price and arrived in 2 days. I'm using it for crafting and it's been exactly what I needed.

I am not using these for grilling. I wanted them as a substrate for a Vanda orchid. You are not supposed to bury Vanda roots, but rather leave them exposed to air. You put them in slat baskets and the roots grow around the slats, I just wanted something below the plant to keep it up at the top of the slat basket instead of buried inside, and I'd read that lava rocks worked pretty well for this purpose.These are porous, as you'd expect, and thus weigh less than solid rocks of the same size. i like this because the pores capture a bit of water when I spray the plant in the afternoon and then slowly release it to increase the amount of moisture in the air around the plant's roots.The color is basically just what you see in the official product image. These are not particularly bright or colorful. (If you are using them for grilling, I guess that doesn't matter.) There was a little dust in the package, but not much. There weren't any tiny broken pieces on the bottom of the bag, either. These were large, whole rocks, ranging in size from about the size of one golf ball to about the size of two golf balls put together (the shapes are rather irregular, though).There are enough of these in the bag for me to support at least two plants this way. I am not sure how many Vandas I will end up with, but if it is more than two and I need to reorder to have enough rocks, I would definitely buy this same item again.

We bought a gas fire pit and it came with the glass. My husband wanted something more realistic and so we bought these. They are perfect and are much nicer than the glass. We wanted to have the look of "plenty" of rock so we purchased 2 and are very happy with the outcome. These are not small rocks, they are larger like you'd expect to see in a large fire pit.I also want to add that the price on these rocks are excellent. Very reasonable, we shopped around online as well as in the stores and theses are by far the best value for the money. We highly recommend them.

What can you say about lava rock for a grill? Well, the stuff just works, probably like any other lava rock. No moving parts either! lol I used it for my Masterbuilt vertical smoker based on another reviewer's recommendation to help diffuse the heat from the flame. It seems to work fine for that purpose. It provides even heat and it can be hosed down after use to clean off some of the drippings. I don't really think that is necessary, but it can be done to clean out say fish drippings before smoking pork ribs.Make sure that you "season" it before your first batch of food. Basicaly just heat it up for 30 minutes over a high flame, then allow it to cool. It's then ready to cook with. This will help purge any bad chemicals/fumes from the rocks.

Our grill didn't actually come with lava rocks. It came with two large iron plates shaped like rows of charcoal briquettes, one plate on each side of the grill. They rusted thru, but while I could find the parts listed online, they were no longer available. The rest of the grill worked just fine, so I was looking for a way to save it. Bought a Universal Lava Rock Grate & this bag of lava rocks. Couldn't find any info online to tell me how much lava rock to order. This 7# bag was enough to cover a 11 1/2 " X 23" grate completely, with a few tiny pieces left over. I discovered you can't just dump the bag in, but rather place the large pieces on the areas of the grate with large space between the bars, & then place the smaller pieces in between. There was quite a pile of lava dust left afterwards, about 3 cups worth. So glad I didn't dump the bag out on anything that mattered, or anywhere I couldn't clean up.After converting the grill, I think it works better than it did before - more even heat.

When we bought our new Bar B Que grill in December when they were closing it out. (I like bargains). We didn't notice that the package of Lava Rocks were not there. I tried at Home Depot and Walmart to buy replacement Rocks but it was either the wrong time of the year or they just don't carry them. I went on Ebay and same thing. Checked out Amazon and there they were. I bought them and 4 days later they were delivered. We used the grill that night and have used it at least once a week since. We have it on the covered deck so we can just step outside and be ready in no time and let me tell you the steaks are better from the Bar B than from a kitchen stove. Thank You again
