Gas Log Sets
Gas Log Sets
Vented and vent-free sets, specced to your firebox, your flue and your gas supply. We measure the opening, confirm what your fireplace is actually rated to take, and install it — we do not sell you a box and wish you luck.
Start Here
Two Very Different Products
“Gas logs” covers two things that are not really the same product. A vented set is a fire you look at. A vent-free set is a heater. They install differently, they are permitted differently, and one of them is not allowed in every room.
Which one is right depends on your fireplace, your room, and what you actually want out of it. That is a five minute conversation, and it is worth having before you buy.
Option One
Vented Gas Logs
Burns with the damper open, up a working chimney, exactly like a wood fire does. The flame is tall, yellow and lazy, and it is the closest thing to a real wood fire you can get out of gas.
Because the flue is open, most of the heat goes up it. Buy a vented set for the look, not for the heating bill.
- Needs a working, correctly sized flue and a damper that opens
- Best flame appearance by a wide margin
- Very little heat into the room
- Higher BTU inputs available
- No room-size restriction
Option Two
Vent-Free Gas Logs
Burns with a precisely engineered flame that produces almost no products of combustion, so the exhaust stays in the room. Nearly all of the fuel becomes heat, which makes it a genuine supplemental heater.
That is also why the rules around it are strict. Every listed vent-free set has an oxygen depletion sensor that shuts the gas off if room oxygen drops, and the set has to be matched to the volume of the room it sits in.
- Real heat — it will warm the room
- Flame is shorter and more disciplined than a vented set
- Oxygen depletion sensor required and non-negotiable
- Sized to room volume; not for bedrooms or bathrooms
- Some jurisdictions restrict them — we check yours first
Size It Yourself
Gas Log Builder
Measure the opening, tell us how it vents and what you burn, and this will work out the set size your firebox takes and show you what we can put in it. It is a starting point, not a quote — we confirm every measurement on site before anything is ordered.
Step 1
Measure the firebox opening
All four in inches. Fireboxes taper, so the front and rear widths are usually different — the rear is what limits the set.
Not sure what to measure? Print the measurement worksheet (PDF) — it asks for the twelve figures we actually need.
Step 2
Vented or vent-free?
Two different products. A vented set is a fire you look at. A vent-free set is a heater. The difference, explained.
Read this before you choose vented.
A vented set runs with the flue open, so the damper has to come out — welded open, fixed with a damper stop, or removed entirely — and the whole flue system has to meet wood-burning code. We inspect it before we quote, and if the chimney will not pass, the set does not go in.
Because the damper can no longer be closed, the chimney draws air out of the house every hour it is not lit. That is a real heat loss all winter. We strongly advise a set of glass doors with any vented installation — they close the opening when the fire is out and give the damper back to you.
Step 3
What is your gas?
How should it light?
IPI (electronic ignition) means no pilot burns when the fire is off. Sets that offer it are listed first either way.
Added: fireplace glass doors — strongly advised with a vented set, because the damper is removed and the opening can no longer be closed. See the range →

What We Check Before You Buy
The firebox decides the set
Measurements
A log set is sized to the firebox, not to the room. We need the front width, the rear width, the depth and the height at the front and back — and the rear width is the one everybody forgets, because fireboxes taper.
Then we confirm what your fireplace is listed for. A factory-built prefab firebox has its own manual and it will say, in writing, whether a gas log set is permitted in it and up to what input.
- Front and rear width, depth, height. Fireboxes taper — both widths matter.
- Damper condition. A vented set needs one that opens and stays open.
- Gas type and line size. Natural gas and propane sets are not interchangeable.
- Existing gas key valve and whether it is where you can reach it.
Then we install it properly
The install
Burner set level and centered, logs placed exactly the way the manufacturer’s diagram shows, ember material where it belongs and nowhere else, connection leak tested, and the whole thing run and observed before we leave.
Log placement is not decorative. Logs sitting where the manual does not show them will make soot and can push carbon monoxide where you do not want it. This is the single most common thing we find wrong on a set somebody else installed.
- Gas work by licensed personnel and leak tested.
- Damper clamp where the listing requires one.
- Carbon monoxide alarm confirmed on the level before we leave.
- Remote or wall control set up and demonstrated.
Under the Logs
Burners & Ignition
The log set is what you see; the burner and valve decide how it lights. IPI (intermittent pilot ignition) means electronic ignition: no pilot burns when the fire is off, it starts from a remote or switch, and it saves gas all year. Every set in the builder above lists its burners and whether IPI is available.

Lines We Carry
Four Brands, Four Reasons
We do not carry one brand and then bend every firebox to fit it. These four cover the ground between them — the custom stainless burner, the widest catalogue of log styles, the realism specialist, and the one to call for outdoor and oversized. Which set you end up with is decided by your firebox and your gas supply, not by what happens to be in the van.
