About Vented Gas Logs
They offer the aesthetic beauty of a wood burning fire with the convenience of gas!
Not only do vented gas logs offer a gorgeous alternative to true wood burning fireplaces they do it with the convenience of natural gas. The dense refractory material used in these logs make them realistic in appearance but allows you to enjoy your fireplace without the messy cleanup of ash, wood dust and debris.
A vented system will need the same setup as a typical wood burning fireplace. You should make sure that the fireplace is properly vented and that a functioning damper is left open to allow for proper ventilation since these gas logs ; while being appealing to the eye and looking natural due put off heat, smoke, soot and even small traces of carbon monoxide (typical with wood burning flames). It is not recommended that you use a blower with vented gas logs as it can throw soot into the house. It is also recommended that you have your chimney cleaned annually since these logs produce soot. Glass doors should be left open when gas logs are burning.
Your new vented gas logs are made to work in operable wood burning fireplaces so if your fireplace doesn’t work well when burning wood it probably won’t function well with gas logs.
While there are several factors to consider before switching to a gas log system we believe that you will not be disappointed with the results you get from making the switch to gas fireplace logs.
