Know before you buy
The Flaming Ember (FH) and Flaming Ember XTRA (FXH) burners focus on creating a glowing ember bed, while the Multi Burner (LC) is designed to provide a more robust flame pattern across the entire log set. Your choice depends on whether you prioritize a realistic glowing base or a more active, taller flame effect.
Yes, the Evening Prestige set is designed for both masonry and larger factory-built fireplaces. However, you must ensure your specific fireplace dimensions meet the minimum requirements for the size and burner style you select.
Match Lighted is the most manual option, while the Standing Pilot (SPKI) allows you to keep a pilot light on for easier ignition. For added convenience, the Remote Control options (RMCIE and VEI) allow you to adjust the flame from across the room, with the Electronic Pilot (VEI) eliminating the need for a standing pilot light.
Yes, these logs are constructed from high-heat resistant cement reinforced with steel rods, allowing them to withstand temperatures exceeding 2300 degrees Fahrenheit. The hand-applied ceramic staining is also designed to resist fading over time, maintaining the logs' authentic appearance.
Yes, you must specify your fuel type at the time of purchase. The burner systems are configured specifically for either natural gas or propane, and they are not interchangeable once manufactured.
You should measure the width of the front opening, the depth of the hearth, and the width of the rear wall of your fireplace. Each burner style and log size has specific minimum dimension requirements, so compare your measurements against the manufacturer's specification sheet for your chosen model.
