Vented Gas Logs

Gas log sets consist of refractory, ceramic, or ceramic fiber manufactured logs placed according to manufacturer's instructions over a gas burner and a metal pan typically containing fine sand (natural gas burners) or vermiculite (propane burners).

Vented gas logs sets must be installed in a working masonry or factory-built solid fuel fireplace with adequate draft. Since the damper must be at least partially open permanently, (varies with jurisdictions: the damper may have to be open fully or removed), vented gas logs sets have some of the efficiency characteristics of the open woodburning fireplace. Customers seeking substantial heat and/or efficiency or seeking to cure existing draft problems should be guided to other choices.
