Ember Placement

7. Place a layer of embers along the edges of the burner, rivets, and fireback floor to enhance the aesthetics
of the firebox. Do not place embers over any burner holes. See the photos below.

Rock Wool Placement

8. Place the included rock wool on top of the burner to enhance the glow from the burner.
NOTE: The rock wool works best when it is applied in a very thin, porous layer.
The best method for applying the rock wool is to brush it on to the burner.
a) Compress a clump of rock wool between your thumb and forefinger.

b) Use a stiff brush to apply a thin layer of rock wool fibers onto the burne r. Do not use the entire bag of

rock wool. Use only a small amount and save the remainder. Over-use of rock wool will diminish the
glow and may cause sooting or other adverse conditions.
