When the barrier screen went missing
Units built under the 2015 barrier changes shipped with a mesh screen, but some were installed and used without it, or it was taken off and left off. One maker's manual puts the job of fitting it on the installer and says it must be in place before the unit runs.
When we replace glass we check that the barrier is present, undamaged and seated on its pins or slots. A missing one is ordered from the maker's list for that model. Barrier missing from a fireplace in Baldwin? Call (904) 920-5495.

From cracked glass to a sealed firebox in Baldwin

Rating plate and cause

Clear, reset, fit
Fragments are cleared, logs and embers reset, and the new glass latched with its gasket.
-
Barrier and test burn
The barrier goes back on, and the unit runs while we check the seal and the flame.
Ghosting flames inland in Baldwin
Blue, lifting flames in Baldwin mean the fire is short of air. The glass seal is one cause, the vent and intake are others.
We check them together.

Sooted glass has a cause
Black soot on the glass comes from a flame that is not burning cleanly. One maker's troubleshooting chart links sooted glass to flame touching the logs, and calls for the logs to be installed per the instructions, the burner injector and air intake area to be inspected for debris, and the gas supply checked.
New glass over an unchanged cause will soot again, so we correct the flame first. While the glass is off, the logs are reset to the diagram and the air openings cleared, and the test burn shows a clean flame before the job is signed off.
Blue, lifting flames and the glass
A flame that turns blue and lifts off the burner, which one maker calls ghosting, means the fire is short of oxygen. The same chart lists the checks: the vent cap installed and free of debris, the vent joints tight, the inner air intake clear, and the glass properly secured and latched.
On a glass call we work through all four, since a door that is not sealing is only one of them. A ghosting flame is a reason to turn the unit off and have it checked before it runs again. Running it while it ghosts only adds soot to whatever glass is in the door.
The test burn after new glass
Every glass job ends with the unit running. With the new assembly on, the latches engaged and the barrier refitted, we light the fireplace and let it run long enough to see the flame settle into its normal pattern.
We watch for lifting or blue flames, soot starting on the glass, and any shutdown, and check the gasket line and latches once the unit is warm. The ticket records the part numbers fitted, the barrier status and the test burn, so you have a clear record of what was done and when. If anything is off during the test burn, we fix it before leaving rather than booking a return trip.
