Ember Placement
Place the embers along the firebox floor and burner to help conceal the burner. Make sure none of
the embers are directly over the burner holes. See the photo below.
Rock Wool Placement
This fireplace is shipped with a larger amount of rock wool to provide the proper coverage needed
on this large burner. The rock wool must be pulled apart and made into a thin gauze prior to
placing over the burner. See the illustration below for details.
NOTE: Propane (LP) units use a lighter amount of rock wool than natural gas units.
Place small pieces of rock wool next to the burner holes in
visible locations. Place the rock wool sparingly so it does
not cover large areas of the burner.
WARNING: If the rock wool is too thick or placed so it
obstructs the flow of gas, sooting will occur.
Preparing the Rock Wool:
The rock wool comes in one
clump. Tear off “dime” sized
clumps and flatten. Then pull on
the wool to create gauze-like
pieces. The wool glows best
when very thin and porous.
Note how the embers do not
cover any burner holes. Place
the embers around the burner
to create a realistic effect.
