Log placement is very important for the proper operation of the Real-Fyre
®
gas log set. Although you have
some fl exibility in the log arrangement, it is necessary to follow the LOG PLACEMENT instructions carefully to
fully enjoy your log set. Follow the steps below, referring
to Fig. 7-1 through Fig. 7-5.
1. The second-longest log, the rear log, is placed on
the rear of the grate with the bark of the log facing
forward (Fig. 7-1). Center the log left to right (Fig.
7-5, #1). If the log has a heat chamber (a recess in
the back), it can face either forward or to the rear.
2. The longest log, the front log, is placed on the front
of the grate with the bark facing forward. Center left
to right (Fig. 7-2, #2). If the log has a heat chamber, it
should face to the rear. NOTE: Be sure to maintain
a space between the front and rear logs (Fig. 7-1).
This creates energy effi ciency, heat radiation, and reduces carbon buildup.
3. Top logs should be stacked diagonally, with the largest at the bottom (Fig. 7-3, #3 & 4), and with spaces
between the logs so that the fl ames are not choked off. Place the smaller logs diagonally across the
larger ones (see Fig. 7-4, #5 & #6). The top logs may be moved to achieve desired fl ame pattern. Some
carbon buildup (sooting) may occur where the fl ames impinge on the logs and should not be a concern
unless excessive. If sooting is excessive, rearrange the top logs to reduce fl ame impingement. Examples
of log stacks are shown below.
Note: Although log styles may differ in pattern or shape ( Fig. 7-6), layout is essentially the same. Adequate
spacing between the logs is NECESSARY and MUST be maintained for best performance.
