Vented Gas or Vent-Free Gas Logs
Gas logs combine luxury and efficiency with distinctive design elements. Vented units often have the ability to produce a dramatic flame, but are used exclusively for decorative purposes. Since the damper to the fireplace needs to be open, there is very little heat delivered to the room. On the other hand, vent-free burners are designed with no outside venting requirements. This prevents heat loss and cold air drafts. Vent-free gas logs can offer some heat because no heat is lost up the chimney. Unfortunately, vent free gas logs cannot be installed in many homes because of code restrictions.

Gas Log Sets Can Provide A Perfect Match
The main choice when selecting a gas log set is the style and variety of firewood. Gas log sets are made to look like certain varieties of wood such as oak, pine, birch, walnut and even ones that look like drift wood. To make these log sets, the manufacturer uses real stacked logs to create a mold for an authentic look. The result is an extremely realistic design. Knotholes, ax marks and forked branches are also carefully integrated into the fabricated design for a fully finished look. These logs then are carefully positioned on a burner system with a bed of glowing embers to complete the look.
