Convector Gas Fires – The Most Realistic Gas Fires Available

They utilise existing traditional fireplace space within your home and have the appearance of a traditional and authentic open fire, but with significantly greater efficiency.

Vent-Free gas logs are perfect for those who want the most efficiency and are the only option for those with vent-free fireboxes. Vented gas logs are best for those looking for the most realistic look and largest flame.

Replacing the logs in a gas fireplace isn't something homeowners need to worry about frequently – with proper care and maintenance, they should last between 5-10 years on average before needing replacement.

If you are considering vented logs, we strongly recommend the Peterson G52 vented log set. These vented logs are designed to burn about half the fuel of a traditional vented set, but still provide a huge roaring fire. As an added bonus, they throw off more radiant heat into the room than most vented logs.

Vent-Free Gas Log Fireplaces

Many units have a built-in oxygen sensor that will automatically shut off the fireplace when low indoor oxygen levels are detected. Most gas fireplace safety experts recommend not running a vent-free gas log fireplace for more than three hours.

Vented gas logs rely on an exhaust or venting system to operate, while ventless gas logs function without any sort of venting system. Just like real burning logs, both types of gas logs produce carbon monoxide — a toxic gas that can be lethal — when they burn.

What are the best logs to buy? ›

Hardwood logs are better for your log burner as they are much more dense than softwood logs, so they burn longer which means you use less. Softwood logs might be cheaper than hardwood logs, but it's usually a false economy. Softwood also has a higher resin content than hardwood so it spits and emits a lot more smoke.

Hardwoods are generally more dense than softwood and therefore burn for longer and produce more heat.

NO comparison ... other than Duraflame* (*you can read my honest review in detail by searching for that brand) lighting just as quickly. Pine Mountain, hands down, is the Best ! YES it gives off the same warmth as a natural wood log.

ASCENT™ SERIES-LINEAR

Napoleon's Ascent™ luxury gas fireplace has a large viewing area to maximize the view of the realistic flames and log set. Multiple designer options make this series an upgrade for your home. Customizable with the Beach Fire, Shore Fire, or Mineral Rock kit, which can also be mixed and matched.

Glass fronted fires are much more efficient (75% – 95%) with higher heat outputs. They can be a little dearer to buy initially but your running costs will be lower and they can be relied upon as an excellent source of heating.

Gas logs are usually manufactured of ceramic fibers, refractory ceramic, or refractory cement. Each of these materials is able to endure high heat conditions. They also have the appearance of real wood.
