Log set is smoking/sooting excessively
(
Note:
It is natural and unavoidable for
vented gas log sets to produce moderate
levels of carbon (soot) where flames
contact the logs. This is especially true
with propane/LP gas.)
Burner is excessively noisy
(
Note:
The movement and combustion of gas
will create low, unavoidable levels of noise.)
Burner flame is too low or too high
1. Contact local natural or propane/LP gas
company
2. Adjust damper wide open and/or have
fireplace and venting professionally
cleaned and checked
3. Separate the logs to allow more flame
passage
4. Remove any foreign items from the
flame pattern and/or check for proper
orifice sizing
5. Preheat flue in very cold weather
1. Relieve any tight bends or kinks in gas
supply line
1. Check for proper gas supply pressure
2. Free burner orifice and manifold ports
of any burrs, paint, or other blockage
