Determine Your Venting Needs

Choose between vented gas logs for a realistic flame and ambiance or vent-free gas logs for clean-burning efficiency without requiring a chimney.

Understand Fuel Options

Decide between natural gas or liquid propane based on your home’s existing fuel lines or preferences. Natural gas is ideal for homes already equipped with gas plumbing, while propane may work better in areas without a gas line.

Gas Log Resources

A gas log fireplace adds warmth and comfort to your home—but like any appliance, it’s important to use it safely. Proper care ensures efficient performance and peace of mind for your family. Below are a few safety tips and answers to common questions we hear from homeowners.

  • Gas leaks: A strong “rotten egg” smell is a telltale sign of a gas leak and should be addressed immediately by a professional.
  • Carbon monoxide (CO): While modern gas fireplaces are designed with safety features, it’s crucial to ensure proper ventilation and never leave a gas fireplace running unattended overnight. 
  • Flammable objects: Keep combustible materials like furniture, curtains, and decorations at least three feet away from the fireplace.
  • Damper: For vented gas logs, the damper should be open while the logs are burning to allow for proper ventilation. Close the damper when the logs are off and the fireplace is cooled down.
  • Vented vs. vent-free: Vented logs require a working chimney and are primarily decorative, while vent-free logs can provide supplemental heat but may have specific venting requirements and indoor air quality considerations. 
  • Pilot light: A faulty pilot light is a common issue. It could be due to a dirty or faulty ignition system or a problem with the thermocouple.
  • Remote control: Remote control operation requires a specific valve system (millivolt or IPI) and requires regular battery changes.
  • Soot: Vented gas logs may produce soot, which can add to the realistic appearance. 
  • Embers: These usually don’t need replacing unless they get wet. 
  • Log replacement: Vented logs can last 10-15 years with proper maintenance, while vent-free logs may need replacement sooner.
  • Sizing: Proper sizing of gas logs depends on the fireplace dimensions. See “Sizing & Measurements”.
  • Sizing & Measurements: For gas fireplaces, the front width of the fireplace is the most important measurement, and you’ll need to consult the manufacturer’s sizing chart for the specific gas log set you choose. 
  • Measure the front width: This is the most crucial measurement for determining the appropriate size of a gas log set. 
  • Consult the manufacturer’s sizing chart:
    Different gas log sets have varying clearance requirements, so always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for the specific set you choose. 
  • Consider rear width and depth:
    These measurements are also important for ensuring proper fit and safe operation. 
    • When considering a gas log purchase from Woodburners, save time by bringing in pictures of the fireplace, the front width, back width, depth, height, gas stub location and length, and the gas type (Natural or Propane). 
  • Gas type: Conversion between LP and natural gas should be performed by a qualified professional. 
  • Blower compatibility: Blower fans are typically not used with vented gas logs.
