Grand Canyon Lava Front View 18" Electronic Ignition Propane Gas Vented Burner

Grand Canyon Lava Front View 18" Electronic Ignition Propane Gas Vented Burner

The Grand Canyon Lava Front View 18" Burner (model LAFV-18-EP) is a vented propane burner made for GlowFire logs, which carry the flame through ports in the logs themselves for a fuller fire on less gas. This version has on/off Dexen electronic controls. The valve and controls are concealed in the burner.

The burner is built for one gas, so order LAFV-18-EN if you need natural gas. It does not run without a GlowFire log set, which is ordered separately.
