Collection: Ventless Gas Logs

Overview of Ventless Gas Logs

Ventless gas logs are designed to mimic the look of real wood while providing efficient heat. They're crafted from ceramic fiber or cast refractory materials, featuring realistic wood grain textures and colors. These logs operate with high efficiency, typically 99% to 99.9%, allowing you to enjoy a warm fire with your fireplace damper closed. Available in various sizes, from 18" to 27", they can fit most standard fireplaces. You can also purchase gas log sets at our store.

Ventless Gas Logs Product Types

The collection offers several types of ventless gas logs, each with unique features to suit different preferences and fireplace configurations. Let's take a closer look at the main types available.

Multi-Sided Gas Logs

Multi-sided ventless gas logs are perfect for modern, open-concept living spaces. They're designed for see-through, peninsula, corner, or island fireplaces, allowing you to enjoy the fire from multiple angles. These logs typically range from 24" to 32" in width and require a minimum fireplace height of 17" to 19". With BTU outputs ranging from 19,000 to 39,000, they can efficiently heat larger areas while creating a stunning focal point in your room. Want to go clean? Explore electric logs.

Double-Flame Gas Logs

Double-flame ventless gas logs offer a more dramatic and realistic fire experience. They feature two separate flame patterns, creating a taller, more dynamic fire display. These logs often come with variable high-low flame adjustment, allowing you to control the intensity of your fire. With their realistic appearance and efficient heat output, double-flame logs are great for those who want the look of a roaring fire without the maintenance of real wood. If your fireplace requires vented logs, we have a vented logs collection as well.

Triple-Flame Gas Logs

In realism and warmth context, triple-flame ventless gas logs are an excellent choice. These logs feature three distinct flame patterns, creating an even more lifelike and captivating fire display. They often include additional features like glowing ember beds and flickering embers. Triple-flame logs typically offer the highest BTU output, making them ideal for larger spaces or for those who prioritize heating efficiency.

How to Choose Ventless Gas Logs

Selecting the right ventless gas logs depends on your specific needs and fireplace setup. Here are some factors to consider:

• Fireplace Size: Measure your fireplace's width, height, and depth to ensure you choose logs that fit properly. For instance, if you have a smaller fireplace with a width of 24", you'll want to look at 18" log sets.

• Heating Needs: Consider the size of the room you want to heat. For a cozy den or small living room, a set with 19,000 BTUs might suffice. However, for a large open-plan area, you might want to opt for a higher BTU output, like 39,000, to ensure adequate warmth.

• Control Options: Think about how you want to operate your gas logs. If you enjoy the traditional experience, manual controls with variable flame adjustment might be perfect. For added convenience, consider models with remote control systems, allowing you to adjust the fire from your couch.

• Aesthetic Preferences: Do you prefer a more subtle flame or a dramatic fire display? Single-flame logs offer a classic look, while double or triple-flame options provide a more dynamic and eye-catching fire.

• Multi-Sided Needs: If you have a modern fireplace visible from multiple angles, multi-sided logs are your best bet. They'll ensure your fire looks great from every viewpoint.

Remember, ventless gas logs offer the flexibility to be used in both ventless and vented configurations. If you think you might want to switch between the two in the future, look for models that are listed for both applications.

FAQs 

Q: Are ventless gas logs safe to use?

Ans: Yes, ventless gas logs are generally safe when installed and operated according to manufacturer instructions. They have built-in safety features like oxygen depletion sensors. However, proper ventilation and regular maintenance are crucial for safe operation.

Q: How efficient are ventless gas logs?

Ans: Ventless gas logs are highly efficient, typically 99% to 99.9%. They deliver almost all the heat produced into the living space, unlike vented logs where much heat escapes up the chimney.

Q: Do ventless gas logs produce carbon monoxide?

Ans: Ventless gas logs produce small amounts of carbon monoxide, but they're designed to shut off if CO levels become unsafe. It's still recommended to install carbon monoxide detectors and ensure proper room ventilation.

Q: Can ventless gas logs be used as a primary heat source?

Ans: No, ventless gas logs are designed for supplemental zone heating only. They should not be used as a primary heat source except during power outages or emergencies.

Q: How much maintenance do ventless gas logs require?

Ans: Ventless gas logs need annual professional inspection and cleaning. Regular cleaning of the logs and ember bed every few weeks is also recommended to remove soot buildup and ensure optimal performance.

Q: Do ventless gas logs smell?

Ans: Some ventless gas logs may emit a slight odor, especially during initial use. Proper ventilation during the first burn can help minimize odors. After the break-in period, any persistent strong odors should be investigated.

Q: Can I install ventless gas logs in my existing fireplace?

Ans: Yes, ventless gas logs can be installed in most existing fireplaces. However, the fireplace must meet specific size requirements and be approved for use with ventless appliances.

Q: How much do ventless gas logs cost to operate?

Ans: Ventless gas logs are generally cost-effective to operate due to their high efficiency. Exact costs depend on local gas prices and usage, but they're typically less expensive than vented gas logs or wood-burning fireplaces.

Q: What's the difference between vented and ventless gas logs? 

Ans: Ventless gas logs burn more efficiently and don't require a chimney, retaining heat in the room. Vented logs must be used with an open damper, allowing some heat to escape. Ventless logs have stricter safety features but may produce more moisture in the room.

Q: Can I use a ceiling fan with ventless gas logs?

Ans: Yes, ceiling fans can be used with ventless gas logs to help distribute heat. However, ensure the fan doesn't blow directly into the fireplace or create drafts that could alter the flame pattern and cause sooting.
