Gas logs are also an excellent choice when converting your fireplace to gas and are the most affordable option. They are available in vented and vent-free models. Vented logs deliver an exceptional roaring fire while venting the gas exhaust and most of the heat to the outside through your chimney system. They require the damper to be clamped open permanently so they are designed for ambiance due to most of the heat exiting through the chimney.
Vent-free logs deliver excellent heat with low gas usage by closing the damper fully or partially on your fireplace so all the heat or most of it enters your home. You can open the damper completely if you would like to burn them fully vented or crack it open to allow some gas exhaust to exit through the chimney while allowing some gas exhaust to enter the room which is very manageable with the thermostatic option on the remote control we sell with them. Our customers buy the vent free 95% of the time due to the heating capability and that it is the lowest cost option when converting from wood to gas.
Our gas selling gas logs are the White Mountain Hearth Sassafras and Wildwood log sets with the Slope Glaze Millivolt burner. They have a beautiful flame presentation and provide substantial heat to the room.
