Rock Wool Placement
7. Place the rock wool as follows:
a. Brush the rock wool using a stiff brush in a loose, gauze-like layer.
TIP: Hold the rock wool in a tight wad with one hand while brushing with the other.
Note how the rock wool is approximately 1/8” thick over the burner ports.
TIP: Feel free to apply a generous amount of rock wool to gain a darker flame and a brighter coal bed.

14. Place the ember chunks as shown below. Note that half the bag of embers is left over.
15. Re-apply the rock wool over the ember chunks along the front burner.
TIP: Applying rock wool in the cracks of the logs (see below) helps to add small points of glow, but may dampen the
overall glow of the logs.
TIP: Natural gas (NG) can use more rock wool than propane (LP).
NOTE: 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.
