Masonry Fireplace
Traditional brick or masonry fireplace with masonry or heavy gauge metal liner or ULC-listed fireplaces with a minimum burn area of 0.258m*2 (sq. meters). When using a ULC - listed fireplace, leave the door open and place a metal mesh screen in front of the fire to prevent embers or hot particulates from escaping during the burn. Pine Mountain and Java-Log firelogs are suitable to burn in traditional fireplaces.
Manufactured Fireplace
Most fireplace manufactures approve their appliance for UL- Classified solid fuels, including Pine Mountain firelogs and Java-Log firelogs. When using a ULC - listed fireplace, leave the door open and place a metal mesh screen in front of the fire to prevent embers or hot particulates from escaping during the burn. Check the UL- Certification for your specific appliance to be certain manufactured firelogs can be safely burned in your unit.
