    possible before inserting the cement log set and REAL FLAME cans of fuel.

Tips For Use

1. It will take a few minutes after lighting for the Flame to reach its full height.
2. To open can, remove the paper label. Hold one hand over the lid and pry the lid gently away from you using a REAL FLAME lid opener which you may find in our gel flame accessories pages.  If lid opener is unavailable a flat-head screwdriver will work.
3. For maximum efficiency, let your REAL FLAME fire burn for its full 2 1/2 - 3 hour duration.
4. Before re-lighting a partially used can, stir the fuel to help ignition.
5. Use long fireplace matches or a long nose grill lighter to ignite the gel fuel.
