Gas logs are made using refractory cement or other non-combustible materials. Fueled by propane or natural gas, gas logs give you the opportunity to burn a clean, warm fire for as long as you’d like.
Today’s gas logs offer a new level of beauty that can enhance the look and feel of your space. They can be hand-painted to recreate intricate details that look like natural logs. There are a wide variety of options that resemble all sorts of different wood. From split oak to white birch and everything in between, gas log designs are available to complement your tastes.
Wood-burning fireplaces pose several safety concerns. From sparks to rolling logs and smoke buildup, not to mention having to cut and store the firewood, gas logs prevent all of these hazards. However, with any gas appliance, you need to take some safety precautions, like having your chimney inspected annually and keeping your fireplace and logs cleaned and maintained.
In the long run, gas logs will cost a fraction of what using a wood-burning fireplace will. With proper care, gas logs will last for several years. Additionally, the cost of gas is less expensive and more efficient than wood per BTU burned.
Starting a fire with gas logs can be as simple as pressing a button. At the very most, it will only take the wave of a lighter or match. Kindling isn’t necessary, engineering a firewood structure isn’t required, and repeatedly trying to ignite isn’t necessary. In a matter of seconds, you can be enjoying a nice, warm, ambient fire. There is also obviously no firewood to chop, buy, store, or move. This makes using your fireplace simpler, cleaner, and easier to maintain.
