Installation Notes

Set the AB3 in non-combustible material only, such as stainless steel, concrete, brick or natural stone, in a fixed position, and keep the firebox or open-installation clearances above. A custom firebox must be non-combustible, take a top tray, have 0.8 in spacers on all sides and a 7 to 9 in static windscreen. Fill only when the burner is cool, and never refill while lit.

In New York City, ethanol fire features are popular because they need no gas line or chimney, but co-op and condo boards and FDNY rules for balconies, terraces and fuel storage still apply, so confirm what your building allows before you buy.
