Gas Log Set Buying Guide

Gas fireplaces have become increasingly popular in recent decades. Gas log sets make particularly fantastic additions in homes with existing fireplace enclosures, offering the beauty and warmth of a traditional wood fire without the hassle of ashes and smoke.

Gas log sets consist of a gas burner and ceramic or refractory cement logs designed to resemble real wood. Lighting the gas burner produces flames that dance around and between the artificial logs, creating a realistic appearance. Gas log sets are praised for their ease of use, energy efficiency, and clean-burning properties.

With such a wide range of gas fireplaces for sale, selecting the right one can be challenging. Use this gas log set buying guide to help you navigate your options, ensuring you find the perfect gas log set for your home.

Vented vs Ventless Gas Logs

Gas log sets are classified into two categories—vented and vent-free. Which technology is right for you?

Types of Gas Logs

Gas fireplace logs are available in different materials, each offering pros and cons to complete your gas fireplace experience. Understand the differences between each one before you decide to buy a new one or upgrade it to the latest one.

Ceramic Gas Logs

Lightweight, durable, and excellent at retaining heat, making them an energy-efficient choice. They also offer a realistic wood appearance and can withstand high temperatures. However, ceramic logs tend to cost more than other materials.

Refractory Logs

Can withstand extreme temperatures and are known for their excellent heat-retention properties. They are also quite durable and provide a realistic wood appearance. The main drawback is that refractory logs weigh more than ceramic logs, making them more difficult to handle during installation.

Cement Logs

The most affordable option, offering a realistic wood appearance and decent heat retention properties. However, they are not as durable as ceramic or refractory logs and may not last as long.

Modern Gas Fireplace Logs

Actually aren't "logs" at all. Modern or contemporary gas logs sets feature fire glass, fire stones and cannonballs to give your fireplace a sleek, modern look. 

Types of Gas Fireplace Burners

Don't forget! The most important component of a gas log set is the burner. The burner provides the flame and heat. A gas log set burner will either be designed for vented or vent free applications. 

Some key features of a gas fireplace burner are its heat output, flame height, flame pattern, and fuel efficiency.

However, when choosing the burner that's right for you we recommend starting with your desired ignition & control options. 

Gas Fireplace Ignition Systems

The ignition system determines how your gas logs are lit. The options include manual ignition (lit by hand), piloted ignitions (which incorporate a standing pilot light for added safety), and electronic ignitions, also known as intermittent pilot because they don't require a constantly burning pilot light. 

The right ignition system for you depends on your budget, preferences and desired level of convenience. 

Control Valve Options

The gas log set control valve will determine how you can operate your log set. Your options include: manual, millivolt (remote ready), variable flame, and electronic. 

Gas Log Sizing 

Choosing a properly sized gas log set is essential to ensure proper functionality and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. To determine the appropriate size, you’ll need to measure the width, depth, and height of your fireplace opening.

Make sure the gas logs you select don’t extend beyond the fireplace opening or obstruct the damper. You must also consider the size of the burner system, which directly impacts what size of logs you can use.

In general, you want at least 2 inches of clearance between the logs and the fireplace walls, and at least 3 inches between the logs and the burner system.
