Installing the logs - 33” Traditional Models
The logs have notches/tabs to assist proper positioning. Upper logs rest on lower logs via notches/tabs. Proper log
placement is critical to prevent sooting. Place the logs in the gaps between flame peaks, so they do not impinge the
flames. Follow the log placement instructions precisely.
NOTE:
Do not cover the burner ports.
NOTE:
Ensure the left front log (1) and right front log (2) are correctly installed on the burner positioning pins.
