Grand Canyon Gas Logs Manufactures Largest Logset in the USA
On May 07, 2020, In Industry News by Greg Thompson
PHOENIX – Grand Canyon Gas Logs celebrated another milestone this month as they manufactured the longest log set in the nation - a 120” treatment to suit the construction needs of client Whitestone Reit.
Whitestone Reit is a publicly traded real estate investment trust company, and in April, Michael Parrish, director of Construction, contacted family owned and operated Arizona Fireplaces to collaborate on selecting the right fire feature for Market Street at DC Ranch, a rustic-style shopping center with boutiques, restaurants, salons & other services.
The sheer expanse of the fireplace wall, coupled with anchoring it as an intimate place to gather put John
Farrier, Outside Sales for Arizona Fireplaces, to work on evaluating specs and teaming up with Grand Canyon Gas Logs to supply the perfect solution.
When asked about the biggest challenge for this project, Farrier replied: “I just wanted to offer something substantial in scale – a log set that not only filled the outdoor ‘room,’ but one that elegantly captured the warm feel of the space.”
This is the largest log set sold and installed by Arizona Fireplaces in their storied 40-year history which sees more gas log sales per-capita than any other part of the country. The 120” gas log set is Grand Canyon Gas Logs largest production log set and the largest gas log set in the fireplace industry.
When asked about the magnitude of this install, Elliott White, Grand Canyon Gas Logs, states, “It is one thing to talk about building the largest logs in the industry, it’s another thing to actually make it happen. This is definitely a significant installation showcasing a glimpse of our manufacturing capabilities.”
To see the fireplace in person, go to Market Street at DC Ranch located at the southeast corner of Thompson Peak Parkway and Pima Road in Scottsdale.
