BLOWER ACCESSORY
The FBST firebox will accept the GA3500A ac-
cessory. The variable blower allows you to select
the fan speed you desire. The blower circulates
heated air from the firebox into the room. Use of
blower is optional.
BRICK LINER
This firebox features a concrete brick liner. As
with all concrete liners, this liner may develop
slight cracks when exposed to heat. These cracks
will not affect the performance of the firebox or
vent-free gas logs.
