refractory match the side refractory already installed.
5. Rotate back and set on the rear log bracket toward
the back of the firebox.
6. The rear refractory upper has a notch in the top side.
Holding the refractory at an angle, slide the refrac-
tory behind the side refractory installed.
7. While holding the rear refractory upper in place, fol-
low Step 3 and install the remaining side refractory.
8. Adjust all refractory pieces so mortar lines are
aligned. Replace heat shield removed in Step 2.
Make sure the angle on the heat shield goes back.
This will secure the side refractory in place.

Log, Lava Rock and Ember Placement

Unpack the logs from packaging and remove each log
from its wrapping material.
The logs are fragile and should be handled
with care. Keep the packaging materials
out of the reach of children and dispose of
the material in a safe manner.
1. Ensure the two (2) screws that attach the fettle to
the burner are secure.
2. Set the andirons in place by hooking the tabs on the
back of the andirons over the outermost webs of the
fettle. (Fig. 41)
3. Place the volcanic rock over the lower refractory in
front of the burner tube and around the burner as-
sembly as desired. (Fig. 42)

front edge of the burner pan assembly.

Fig. 43 Place ember material on burner tube. Place small
lava rock 1¹⁄₂" on burner housing.
Refer to Figures 47 & 48 for final log positions.
6. Center the log rear onto the rear log bracket and
slide back until it comes in contact with the rear
refractory lower. (Fig. 44)
7. Hold the log front left with the narrower end toward
the right. For DVT44, set the log on the inside left
side of the fettle and bring it forward until the right
end of the log comes through the opening in the
fettle. For the DVT38, the log is placed the same,
however the end will not come through the fettle.
When in place, the left end of the log is supported
above the left sheet metal bracket. DVT38, the log
will just touch the left side refractory. (Fig. 45)
8. Hold the log right front with the pointed end toward
the left. Set the log on the inside right side of the
fettle and bring forward. The pointed end of the log
should come in contact with the front left log. When
