Grand Canyon LAFV-36 36" Lava Burner Front View Vented Gas Log Burner with GlowFire Log Technology

LAFV-36 Overview

The Grand Canyon LAFV-36 is the flagship size in the Lava Burner Front View family. It fits a 46-inch front opening and a 36-inch rear width, and at 86,000 BTU on natural gas it puts out enough heat to be a primary supplemental heat source in larger living spaces. The 36-inch GlowFire log set is the most theatrical configuration in the lineup, with the longest log presentation and the most complete coverage of the burner pan.

What makes the Lava series different from a traditional log set is that each GlowFire log is individually orificed and ported. Fuel flows through the inside of the ceramic refractory log and out the porting on the surface, so the log itself burns rather than a steel burner tube sitting underneath. The result is a flame pattern that wraps around the wood texture and radiates substantially more heat back into the room than a concrete log set sitting on a conventional pan burner. Fireplace Insider ships the LAFV-36 nationwide. Installation must be performed by a licensed gas fitter and the unit must be installed in a fireplace approved for solid fuel burning, with a working flue.
