Heating - Fireplaces, Log Lighters, and Log Sets

The ambiance of a flickering fire in the fireplace can take the edge off a hectic day and soothe away stress. For those with limited time or energy, building a welcoming fire isn’t always a simple task. But there is a solution. Install a set of gas logs into the fireplace and enjoy a fire in
seconds, whether for an hour or the entire evening. Gas logs are easy to use, require little maintenance, and enhance the aesthetic appeal of a fireplace, whether turned on or off!

A gas log set consists of a gas burner covered in “firewood” made from fire-proof molded
refractory cement, extruded bisque ceramic clay or molded ceramic fibers, depending on
the manufacturer and model. Gas logs, whether vented or vent-free, are a terrific way to enjoy
a gas fire in an existing wood burning fireplace and are a good choice for a fire with little mess
or environmental impact. The addition of a gas log set can reduce the amount of work associated with building a fire while helping protect winter air quality. But, the best feature of gas logs is the convenience of enjoying the fire. In addition to easy ignition options, there are many ways to control the flame height and the look of the fire as well as the available warmth, whether manually or by remote control.
