Gas-burning log sets give your hearth the best of both worlds: the ambiance of a real wood burning experience without the higher maintenance that a traditional masonry wood fireplace requires. These vented and ventless or vent-free gas log sets look so incredibly realistic with immaculate detail down to the grain patterns that match stacks of natural wood species like birch and oak. It is hard to believe it is faux wood.
Realistic Gas Log Sets
The logs are made from high-quality ceramic and are highly durable, requiring little maintenance. You can simply change the scenery by installing a different log set. So, when you want a realistic wood-burning experience with the convenience of continuous home heating, gas-burning log sets are hard to beat.

The Difference Between Vented and Ventless Log Sets
A gas log set gives your gas-burning fireplace the visual appearance of an authentic wood fire experience without the smoke, soot, and creosote produced during combustion. When you ignite the gas burner, the flames flow through the ports surrounding the ceramic gas logs giving the impression of a realistic wood-burning experience. There are two types of gas log sets: vented and ventless, also referred to as vent-free.
Vented vs. Ventless Gas Logs
Vented Gas Logs: A vented gas log set provides a highly realistic wood-burning experience, generating substantial heat—up to 55,000 BTUs per hour or more—making it an energy-efficient primary heating source at a lower cost. Designed for use in traditional or manufactured heating appliances with a chimney or flue, vented gas logs burn cleanly but still produce carbon monoxide, necessitating a chimney or flue to vent exhaust. Ventless gas log sets are an alternative for homes without a chimney.
Ventless (Vent-free) Logs: Although ventless or vent-free gas log sets don’t produce the same high heat levels or the realism of vented logs, they can be installed in spaces without a chimney or flue, So, you will still have the same clean-burning, energy-efficiency, and lower energy cost benefits of a vented gas fireplace. Ventless gas log sets are available in many aesthetically pleasing wood species with detailed grain patterns and realistic colors.
