The completed log set shall look as depicted in the Step 14, above.
Add small coals (I), first, in the area between the firebox front edge and the grate bars. Also add small coals (I) in front and
behind the front burner. When adding the small coals, space them ½ inches apart, left to right, to allow combustion air to flow
to burner ports. Otherwise, place them randomly along the burner length and in any area on the firebox floor you desire.
Add Large Chunk Coals (H) on top of front burner. Space them apart about ¼ inches side to side and bridge coals that span
across the burner ports across the burner tube to the main ember bed (B) so that the coals do not plug any burner ports. This
also provides for a cove under each coal that will glow red and create an attractive ember bed effect. If you provide large gaps
between the large chunk coals and leave the gaps open, the front burner flames will yield random yellow flames along the front
edge and between the coal pieces.
Avoid packing small coals tightly. Doing so will only yield red glow effects.
Loosely spread Glowing embers over the coals and any other burner surfaces, lightly. Do not use large and dense amounts of
glowing embers in any area over burner ports. If taller flames are desired along front burner or rear burner, add thin layers of
glowing embers over burner ports in that area. If sooting occurs around areas where coals or glowing embers are located,
remove and allow more room in that area for gas and air to mix together properly.
