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.
One of the biggest choices when selecting a gas log set is deciding on the style of firewood. The logs within a gas log set are designed to mimic actual wood and are available in many varieties, including oak, birch, manzanita, pine, and walnut. Some manufacturers even produce driftwood gas log sets. When creating log sets, manufacturers use actual stacked firewood to form a mold. The cast logs are then detailed, often by hand, with authentic colors and bark textures, including knotholes, forked branches and ax marks. To finish the look, manufacturers engineer burner systems to perfectly replicate the dancing flames of a fire complete with a bed of glowing coals and embers.
