Laying of pebbles (See Figure 16)
Bottom Row
.
Lay a large pebble
(A)
on the left hand side of the fire so that it rests on the castellated front
ceramic and leans against the side of the firebox and the middle ceramic.
Place two small pebbles
(B & C)
next to it on the front ceramic.
Then place another large pebble
(D)
on the front ceramic and lean it against the middle
ceramic.
Place one more small pebble
(E)
on the front ceramic on the right hand side.
Middle Row
.
Place a small pebble
(F)
directly above
(E)
so that it rests partly on
(E)
and partly on the
middle ceramic.
Place another small pebble
(G)
next to
(F)
but pushed back so that it rests on the middle
ceramic and touches the rear ceramic.
Place a large pebble
(H)
so that it touches
(C)
and
(D)
and leans against the middle ceramic.
Place small pebble
(I)
on top of small pebble
(B)
and touching the middle ceramic.
Top Row
.
Place two small pebbles
(J)
and
(K)
on top of the rear ceramic and push them back so that
they touch the rear wall of the box.
They should be supported by pebbles
(G)
and
(H).
Place large pebble
(L)
next to
(J)
and
(K)
on top of the rear ceramic and support it in place
with small pebble
(M)
which should rest on large pebble
(A)
.
Please Note
.
Depending on how the pebbles actually lay in the fire, flames may impinge on the surface of
some pebbles and cause soot marking. This is quite normal but unfortunately a permanent
stain may be left on the surface. This problem can be minimised by gently twisting some
pebbles with tongs to move them away from the tips of the flames which is where the soot
marking may occur.
