1.  Place approximately 46 coals onto 

the burner top taking care to not block 

too many burner ports. There is no 

set way to place the coals but the 

following diagram can be used as a 

guide. Take care not to cover the 

aeration slots on the front of the 

burner or block the pilot and tracking 

holes on the burner top. Logs, Coals 

and Granules.

2.  Carefully 

place

 the granules onto the 

burner in a single layer that covers 

some of the holes in places where 

they may be seen when finished and 

also around the front and back of the 

burner as a decoration.

IMPORTANT

Avoid pouring the media over the burner, as this can block the burner ports with the fine dust that 

tends to settle in the bottom of the bags during shipping.

4.  Place all the remaining coals and logs 

on top of the coals that were placed 

on the burner in step 1, ensuring that 

there are plenty of gaps between 

logs and coals.

5.  Once all the logs and coals are in 

place,  light  the  fire  and  assess  the 

look of the flames.

IMPORTANT

If there are any areas that have very long streaky flames then, using a pair of tongs, move the top 

logs or coals to another position until the flames are more even across the whole burner.

Pebbles / Crystals (Crushed Glass), Where Applicable

1.  Place 

DO NOT POUR

 all of the supplied Pebbles or Glass evenly across the entire area of the burner. The 

finished depth will be about 2 ~ 3 pebbles or about 20 mm of glass. Take care to keep the area directly around 

the pilot burner clear of burner media.

2. 

DO NOT

 

PILE

 glass or pebbles over the top of the pilot assembly as this could affect it performance. It may 

be possible to build the media up around the pilot to hide it slightly but always check that the pilot is operating 

at its optimum when finished. (Refer to “Pilot Burner Performance” on page 22)

IMPORTANT

Avoid pouring the media over the burner, as this can block the burner ports with the fine dust that 

tends to settle in the bottom of the bags during shipping.
