What’s The Difference Between Vented & Vent-Free?
- Vented log sets are designed for use in a working fireplace with a working chimney. If you currently have a wood-burning fireplace and are looking to convert it to burn gas, vented gas log sets make it easy. With vented gas logs, it is important to remember that the damper must be open before you can enjoy a fire. Click here to browse our vented log sets.
- Vent-free gas log sets typically produce more heat than vented gas logs, and do not require a functioning fireplace and chimney system. If your current fireplace or chimney is damaged and not able to safely house a fire, vent-free gas logs can make enjoying your fireplace possible again. However, compared to vented gas logs, vent-free gas log sets tend to be a little less realistic-looking. Start shopping for vent-free log sets here.
