No More Stoking The Fireplace With Gas Logs

By Miranda Sweeney


It is snowing outside and you are already in a very comfortable position reading in the couch. Moments later, you do not feel warm anymore. Then you knew, the fire is dying so you get up and add more wood. Then you go back to the couch and resume your reading. Moments later, the fire is dying again and you have to get up and add more wood before you go back and read again. You do that again later and the cycle goes on and on.

However, you can put an end to that. With gas logs Dallas, you just have to click on the remote to start a fire and keep warm for as long as you want. You do not have to leave your safe haven to add more wood anymore. It is of two types, vented and unvented.

Vented logs looks much similar to a wood fire due to the yellow flame it produces that is what real wood create when ignited. In addition to this, there are glowing embers that look like they are really burning when in truth, they are not.

But this kind does not provide enough warmth for the house. Only ten percent of the heat is being directed to the house while the remaining ninety percent goes out of the chimney. That is why this type of log is good only for decorative purposes.

On the other hand, the unvented type, even with the yellow flame and glowing embers, do not look as much realistic as the former. However, the efficiency of these type exceeds that of the vented, nine times over. Almost ninety five percent of the heat is returned to the house.

However, no matter how ideal the heat is, the intensity can start a fire. This can happen when any object near it that is combustible caught the power of the log set. Although the wood is not really burning, the heat is strong enough to create a reaction that is why people who are considering having this kind of log set should be aware of this danger. The best thing to do is to keep away everything flammable from the set.

People with asthma or weak lungs might also suffer from the effects of this. One potential danger of this log type is that it causes the oxygen level to drop and another is that it expels a weird odor. However, you need not worry because this type has a built in sensor that will detect when the oxygen level reaches a critical level. If it happens, the sensor will then shut down the power.

Choosing between vented and unvented types should satisfy your intention. If you meant for it to be a decor only, go for the vented set because they look more real. If you meant for it to really provide the warmth in your house, then go for the unvented set since they provide more heat. Just remember the precautionary measures that you have to apply.

Relax as much as possible during the winter and do things inside the house with as little disturbance as possible. With gas logs, you can now cross out the fireplace from the things to be tended.
