Log, Stone, Ember, and Rock Wool Placement
The logs are fragile, especially after being exposed to heat.
The burner must be correctly positioned before installing the logs. Make sure the burner is fully
seated and screwed in place.

the log.
NG Installations
Move the rear log forward (the log has slots that allow
slight log movement).
LP Installations
Move the rear log back (the log has slots that allow slight
log movement).

17. Place the rock wool as shown below.
NOTE: Remove the two cross twigs to allow better ember application to the middle and back burner.
See steps 12 and 13 for details on placement of these two twigs.
HINT: Hold the rock wool in a tight wad and use a stiff brush to apply a gauce-like layer of wool over
the burner ports (approximately 1/8” deep).
Apply a layer of rock wool over the burner ports.
•Natural gas (NG) can use more rock wool than propane (LP).
•Initial application of rock wool may cause “matting” over burner ports. Turning the unit on and then off again
will loosen the rock wool, resulting in a better flame.
