ICS Fire Pits

by Carl Herkes

You wanted it so ICS created it!  A quality turnkey fire pit with contemporary lines!  The additional customization available for this fire pit makes it extremely versatile.  The side panels can be left plain, or graced with your choice of copper or stone veneer for an additional cost.  The fire pit serves as the centerpiece for the deck or patio both visually and socially.  Concrete offers a unique role as a strong mediator to bring out the best features in complimentary materials such as stone veneer and decorative copper accents.  These materials are easily applied within the recessed beveled inserts fusing them together in a dramatic marriage of texture and shape.  Or, if leaving the inserts unadorned, it renders a sleek, contemporary flavor to the fire pit.  This fire pit includes everything you need (other than a propane tank if you plan to use propane).  It even comes with a vinyl cover to protect it from the elements.

With a choice of several finishes and inserts in addition to hundreds of dollars less than the manufacturer's suggested retail price, this fire pit is a smart buy!  For use with natural gas or propane.

Here is what you get with this pit:

  • 38" x 38" x 20" ICS Fire Pit with 22" Opening
  • 20" Burner Pan with Air Mixer
  • Key Valve
  • 1 Flex Line with 60" Regulator Hose (propane model)
  • Lava Rock Sub-Base
  • Choice of Glass or Artificial Log Insert
  • Vinyl Cover
  • Leveling Device
  • Choice of Side Materials at Additional Cost (price includes plain side panels)

You also asked about ROUND!  Just as exciting, a round model is currently being developed and will be ready for production within a few short weeks.  Quite often, we are asked if any ICS fire pits come in a round shape.  With the introduction of a round fire pit, there will be an ICS fire pit that will fit into any decor.

Last but not least, we also offer ICS walls and benches.  The bottom image shows a fire pit with three benches surrounding it.  These benches are heavy and sturdy.  Click Here if you would like to check them out.

The ICS line of fire pits are high quality.  For that reason, it is the only line of turnkey fire pits we carry.  We have sold these fire pits to up scale businesses, such as the Ritz Carlton in Naples, Florida and PF Chang's in Massachusetts.  So rest assured, you are getting what you are paying for.

Thanks for reading!  Talk to you next month.

ICS Fire Pits

by Carl Herkes

At last!  A multi-purpose fire pit that is built like a tank!  It looks like it was custom built "on site", but can be assembled in a mere 20 to 30 minutes!  ICS (Interlock Concrete System) has developed a clever, functional and beautiful alternative to having a fire pit built from the ground up.  The groutless, stone-veneered, interlocking blocks make setup simple and quick.  Disassembly is just as quick and easy.  Since this is a pre-fabricated fire pit, you can take this with you when you move or change the location of the pit as needed.  This fire pit includes everything you need (other than a propane tank if you plan to use propane).  It even comes with a vinyl cover to protect it from the elements.

With a choice of several finishes and inserts in addition to hundreds of dollars less than the manufacturer's suggested retail price, this fire pit is a smart buy!  This ICS Fire Pit is built with your choice of insert.  Insert choices are Glass (Aquatic Glassel), FireBalls or Artificial Logs.  Fast and easy assembly/disassembly with your choice of four stone finishes and two cap finishes.  For use with natural gas or propane.

Here is what you get with this pit:

  • Small, Medium or Large Fire Pit
  • Burner Pan with Air Mixer
  • Key Valve
  • 1 Flex Line with 60" Regulator Hose
  • Lava Rock Sub-Base
  • Choice of Glass or FireBalls or Artificial Log Insert
  • Vinyl Cover
  • Choice of Cap Finish
  • Choice of Side Finish
  • Optional Propane Cover (Side Table)

Burners for Ventless Fireplaces

by Carl Herkes

There is some very good news on the way.  A burner for a ventless fireplace is finally being designed.  This burner is being designed to be used with Aquatic Glassel and will hopefully be shipping in 3 to 5 months.  The setup will be similar to that of the Propane burner setup (instruction manual found here.

On a daily basis, I get asked if there is a burner system developed for Aquatic Glassel.  Needs create products - that's for sure.  Let's keep our fingers crossed that these burners will be shipping within the estimated time frame.

For the folks that are unfamiliar with what a ventless fireplace is, let me elaborate.  It is simply a fireplace that has no flu.  The fireplace burner is regulated for a low BTU rating.  If the BTU rating is low and the fuel burns cleanly enough, there will not be a build up of dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in the room.  Two additional benefits of ventless are that they are the most heat efficient and can be placed almost anywhere in a room.

Please keep an eye on the website for the latest developments.
