Can I install a vent-free gas fireplace in my bedroom?

United States Stove Company
All vent-free appliances, whether natural or propane, produce water. The accumulation can range from 3/4 to 1pint of moisture per hour in the room. Under normal conditions, this does not cause a problem. However, if you have a problem, you will need to provide an outlet for this moisture. This can be accomplished by providing adequate ventilation or using a dehumidifier to help control the moisture. Yes/No.

I have heard that vent free gas logs produce water. Is this true?

www.FireLogs.com - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Vent free gas logs produce one quart of water per hour on high. You can crack the damper to let it out the chimney. Most houses like the additional water, but it can become a problem in very well insulated houses. A de-humidifier will take care of it (needed less than 1% of the time). The hood is used if the mantle is too close and could overheat. Most of the time it is needed if the mantle is closer than 28" to the firebox opening. It also matters how far out the mantle extends.
