Page 4: Important Safety Information
For safety information regarding the operation of this fireplace, see pages 23-25. The FireRock Outdoor fireplace is a modular system designed to be assembled in field using FireRock Adhesive Mortar. Each component is designed for a specific part of the firebox, smoke chamber, and flue design, and therefore only one means of assembly is possible. -
Page 5: Materials And Equipment List
• 5 gallon bucket • Level • Plastic shims • FireRock Adhesive Mortar • Firebrick • Masonry chimney block NOTE: Some of the components of this fireplace are extremely heavy and should not be lifted by one person. Because of this, realize that building this fireplace is at minimum a two-man job. -
Page 6: Intended Use Statement
The fireplaces and chimney system are tested and listed by Intertek Testing Service to UL 127 and UL 103 for outdoor use. The FireRock fireplace is designed to burn wood, gas, or coal. Use solid wood, processed solid fuel fire logs, natural gas, propane, or coal fuel only. - Page 7 FireRock recommends that you finish your fireplace with a veneer such as stone, brick, or stucco. Failure to do so leaves your fireplace components exposed to the elements, and may cause cracking.
-
Page 8: Installation Considerations
To reduce the risk of fire or injury, do not install an unvented gas log set into this fireplace. A log lighter can be used with your FireRock fireplace as either a flush mount (installed before the firebrick) or top mount. - Page 9 HINTS If this is your first FireRock installation, it would only take a few extra minutes to “dry stack” (erect without mortar) your firebox to gain a better understanding of how the components go together. Then disassemble and erect using FireRock Adhesive Mortar.
