2.5.1. Coal Effect Layout
This fire is supplied with different sizes of
ceramic coal, with the quantity supplied
being dependant upon the type of burner:
S16
S18
Small
Square
Coals
6 7
Medium

Coals

Proceed with the coal layout as follows: -
1. Following the appropriate set of
drawings, form the first layer, using the
Small
square
and
Medium square
coals, placing the aeration tubes as
shown.
2. Unpack
the
Random coals
and form the
second and front layers, ensuring that
none of these coals come into contact
with the burner board.
3. Using more of the
Random coals
, form
the final layers.
4. Packing the coals too tightly together will
result in a poor flame picture. The best
results come from a ‘loose’ fuel build.
5. Do not place any coals immediately over
the pilot assembly.
6. After the appliance has been allowed to
warm up, small adjustments (using a
small pair of tongs) may be made to the
top layer to achieve the desired flame
picture.
7. It is recommended that the coals be left
alone once the desired flame picture has
been achieved.
Constant moving of the
coals causes the coals to disintegrate
and/or cause discolouration
.
WARNING:
Do not touch the
fire when it is alight. The fire will
remain very hot for a while after
extinguishing.
