When you are ready to enjoy a warming fire you will need to ignite the gas jets. To ensure there is a steady supply of fresh air coming to the fireplace there are vents which are placed to bring this extra fresh air into the metal box.

As this fresh air is warmed it is sent up through the box out into the room. To make sure that the entire room receives a good amount of heat a fireplace blower will be stationed in a position which will allow the blowing of the warm air into the room.
