Know before you buy
You should measure the width of the front opening, the depth of the floor, and the width of the back wall of your fireplace. Because minimum dimensions vary by burner style and log size, consult the specific sizing chart for your chosen model to ensure proper clearance.
Yes, the Manzanita sets are compatible with both fuel types. You must specify your fuel source at the time of purchase, as the burner and valve components are calibrated differently for natural gas versus propane.
The FH burner provides a standard, realistic flame pattern suitable for most setups. The FXH burner is designed for a more robust flame effect, offering a fuller, more intense look that mimics a traditional wood fire more closely.
It depends on your chosen control option. The Match Lighted version requires no pilot, while the SPKI and RMCIE options use a standing pilot. If you prefer to avoid a standing pilot, the VEI electronic ignition system allows you to ignite the logs only when needed.
These logs are constructed from high-heat resistant cement with steel rod reinforcement, allowing them to withstand temperatures exceeding 2300 degrees Fahrenheit. They are engineered to maintain their structural integrity and color finish over years of regular use.
Yes, these sets are designed to fit both masonry and standard factory-built fireplaces. Always verify that your specific fireplace model allows for the use of vented gas logs and check that your chimney is properly vented.
