Placing the dress coals
The dress coals consist of:
•
6 x Finger coals
•
18 x Random cut coals
Keep the different types of coals
separate. Begin the coal build by
placing six random shaped coals as
shown in figure 10, ensuring that they
form a bridge between the front coal
and the coal matrix. In order to get the
best flame effect, it is important that the
coals are evenly spaced, and sit 10-
15mm from each other.
Next, take five random shaped coals
and position as shown in figure 11. This
second row of coals should rest on top
of the first row, overlapping by 5-10mm.
Again, ensure even spacing to obtain
the best flame effect.
Now take four more random shaped
coals and position as shown in figure
12 to make the third row. These coals
should again overlap the previous row
by about 5mm. Ensure even spacing
between coals.
