I saw that too. It was the one where the flame come out of sand or gravel
right? You might try the hgtv web site or try a google search.



Yep. The challenge of course, would the be gas distribution. You could use
two brass "grill" type burners, but then you'd need to be worried about
getting the sand in the burners themselves, but I'll bet pea gravel would
work fine.

I'm sure you could use a plastic planter in a pond, put a large clay pot
inside that, and the burner then inside that. Fill the plastic pot with
sand/pea gravel, and do the same with the clay pot. You'd just need an
extension for the propane line.

The weight of the pea gravel would keep the plastic planter submerged, and
you could always put a few large rocks/stones in the pond for it to rest
one. (Something flat would be best, to protect the liner.)

Heck, you could probably even stagger some flagstone pieces on top of the
pea gravel, and the gas/fire would come between the cracks.



Check out the link on my website:
You'll need adobe acrobat to view them.

The burner Retails for $259

I have installed many of these on land but, have yet to find time to
experiment with floating it on a pond. Although It could easily be set
on an island in the middle of the pond.

I was at a Home and Garden show this weekend and saw something that might be
what you saw. Its called a "ring of fire" and combines a gas flame with a water
feature. I've not checked the site but try
www.ringoffirebytravis.com.

I just watched a HGTV show where they built a firepit in the middle of a
pool/pond. It was run by gas, and the entore circular area had flames.


When I went to universal studios years ago, on the Jaws! ride, they take you
through a lagoon, that has natural gas bubblers under water, so when the
tram approaches wrecked boats, the flames come out of the water.

I've always thought that would be a neat idea, but well beyond my skill
level to confidently build safely at home. Then again a flaming pond would
be a little odd..
