RON HAZELTON Welcome to the fireplace tales a rather sooty story of a man, his wife and their gas log set. It all began when LYNN In order to light this fireplace, you have to stick your hand in the fireplace to light it. RON HAZELTON Honey, thats no big deal. I just reach in here BOTH SPEAK AT ONCELYNN Yeah, it is a big deal. You remember the last time, when you singed all your hair off the hand RON HAZELTON LAUGHS That scared the wee wee out of me. LYNN Oh, is the gas still onRON HAZELTON I guess you could say, Lynn, that was a point well made. RON HAZELTON So whats the moral of this story  Well, I guess you could say its that when your wife suggests you might want to update your gas log set, with one that doesnt require you to put your hand inside to light it, you should listen. I did. And thats why Im gonna replace this gas log set with one thats state of the art. I start by shutting off the gas to the fireplace. Then remove the artificial logs. And take out the grate. Next, I disconnect the gas line. Remove the old burner. And, last of all, clean out the firebox. Well, the fireplace is all cleaned out. And Im about to put in my new gas log set. It has 3 components. The burner, the logs and this wireless remote control. More about this a little bit later on. Right now, I want to start by putting in the burner and attaching it to the bottom of the firebox. The first step is to apply pipe thread sealant. Then attach the gas supply line to the burner and snug the connection up tightly. This system has remote control electronic ignition. The small receiver simply plugs into the control box. Next, I set the burner in position, use a masonry bit to drill holes into the brick on the bottom of the firebox. And finally, put in masonry screws to secure the burner in place. Well the log sets installed. Ive attached the gas line. Now I want to check to see if there are any leaks.

And Im gonna take this bottle of filthy water, just dishwashing detergent in water here. And Im gonna spray it on all the connections and fittings down here. Now if there were a leak, Id see some fairly substantial soap bubbles. Hopefully I wont find any. Now for what is probably gonna be the most fun part of this job putting the actual logs on the burner. Now these are made of concrete and they have to go in in a very specific way. But its easy, because the bottoms of the logs have holes, and the burner down here has pins. So all Ive gotta do is match them up. Well the burners installed, the logs are in place. But what comes next is whats going to make this look like a convincing wood burning fire. Its called an accessory kit, and its an option from the manufacturer of this log set, Empire Comfort Systems. Let me show you how it works. First I sprinkle small blackened coals that look like remnants of earlier fires. Next I drop in a few of these ash coated coals for added realism. Then place some small partially burned pieces of wood around the base of the logs. All of these materials, of course, are non combustible. Finally, small pieces of rock wool are placed over special ports in the burner. When the log set is operating, these tufts of rock will glow like hot coals. Pretty convincing, isnt it And you know the best thing of all  I can turn that fireplace off and on from right here in my easy chair, using this remote control. And this is also a thermostat. By presetting the room temperature I want, this will automatically turn the log set on and off, keeping the room at just the temperature I want it. Well thats it from Fireplace Theatre.
