Abstract
A closed-combustion gas fireplace having a glass panel and a means for reducing the temperature of the upper end of the glass panel is disclosed. The temperature reducing means comprises a downwardly depending baffle spaced apart from the upper end of the glass panel to form a channel within the combustion chamber adjacent the upper end of the glass panel. The channel reduces movement of hot gases adjacent the upper end of the glass panel thereby reducing the glass temperatures at that location.
