No. The intense heat of a wood fire will damage your logs, burners, grates and valves, and will void your warranty.

No, the hearth kit is designed to work with only the appropriate gas logs. Attempting this could result in injury, damage or worse. Additionally, burning wood voids the warranty of the hearth kit.

The beauty of the Luminarium is that you get a quality fire experience without the smoke, ash, or blowing embers associated with other types of logs. Using any other type of log may create a safety hazard and will damage the unit due to excessive heat.

No. Gas fireplaces are designed to burn gas only. Burning wood would damage the fireplace and could be very dangerous.

This behavior is normally caused by using corrugated flex line to hook up the gas log set. All HEATMASTER gas log sets are supplied with a flexible aluminum connector to prevent this.

Minimum sizing is determined by consultimg the measurements provided in the installation manual. Consult your local Heath Technologies professional.

Vented gas logs use a burner pan (which looks like a dustpan.) This is commonly called a "sandpan" burner because the burner pan is filled with silica sand or vermiculite. Since the burner tube is under the sand, when the fire is burning, the flame flows through the sand giving a very natural, realistic dancing flame.

Vent-free gas log sets can be installed in most masonry fireplaces, as long as the set's clearance and ventilation requirements are met. For installation in prefabricated fireplaces or fireboxes, follow the fireplace manufacturer's recommendations, as well as meeting the set's clearance and ventilation requirements. Refer to the log set's owner's manual to determine clearances and unconfined space requirements.

Unfortunately we do not supply log boilers, a lot of people get attracted to the fact that they have wood readily available and think that it will be easy, but the process to get the wood good enough to be able to burn involves a lot of time and effort, we also feel that they are not automatic enough as you will have to refill them twice a day, this means that the commitment to your boiler will be very high.

The realistic looking fire logs are made out of steel reinforced ceramic and are fire-proof so they will not burn. They are heat resistant to gas fireplace standards and the ceramic core allows them to retain and radiate heat. The logs are hand painted for a realistic effect to resemble 'cedar'. Back to List Most definitely! InFlame distributes a wonderful line of Sunjel? Log & Grate Inserts for non-functional wood burning fireplaces.

No. No other materials may be burned inside a Mendota gas fireplace. The Mendota gas fireplace is designed and certified by UL specifically to burn only LP or Natural Gas. Burning wood has a much higher peak temperature that can not only permanently impair the fireplace itself, but also provide a real fire danger to your home and occupants. Even something as simple as burning paper can harm the fireplace's internal controls and possibly overheat and break the glass.

Our standard log is lodge pole pine, and is cut from dead standing timber. This timber is normally killed by fire or beetles. Pine beetles burrow just under the bark and eat the sap wood, killing the tree. Once the tree has died the beetle either dies or leaves the tree for new food. The tree then loses it's bark which allows it to dry without roughing.

All wood surfaces in the Touareg are real. Walnut, Myrtle, and Vavona wood are used depending on the configuration of the specific vehicle. Vavona is the root wood of sequoia trees. Yes. In Xenon-equipped Touaregs, the outer most lights in the Touareg's headlight assembly are high intensity discharge lamps, and are used for the low beam, the high beam, and as the daytime running lamps.

No. You can use vent free gas logs but not vented logs. Vented logs require a working flue, the same as burning firewood. If the pilot flame is still large enough to heat the tip of the thermocouple, then the thermocouple is burned out and needs to be replaced.

When plants grow they use carbon dioxide from the air to make their wood. If you burn the wood the carbon is released back to the atmosphere. As long as you grow another plant/tree then a stable carbon cycle is set up. So ,the use of sustainably produced wood as a fuel does not increase the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

Operating gas logs in a fireplace can be similar to burning wood in the fireplace. Yes you will receive some heat, but it is impossible to predict how much. Gas logs retrofitted to existing fireplaces are primarily for aesthetic benefit. They look great, provide a large yellow-orange flame and are not particularly efficient. If heat is your primary motive for retrofitting your fireplace you should consider a gas fireplace insert. Either way, you'll have something easy to use and maintain.

You will need to consult the operating guide for your particular fireplace model. If you use another manufacturer's gas logs, you need to maintain the clearances they specify. You can only install vented gas logs in our wood burning fireplaces. No. Installing vent-free (room vented) gas logs into our fireplaces presents a potential safety hazard as these fireplaces have not been tested or listed by UL or AGA for these applications.

UV GUARD® Mortar Match is the best choice for a non-structural finish over new or existing mortar joints. It is an excellent restoration/repair product for previously applied mortar. Its elasticity is ideal for sealing over cracked and deteriorated mortar joints, eliminating air and water infiltration. Generally yes. Our caulk colors are intended to blend with our stain colors.

The size of the gas line varies by the BTUs needed for the gas log set and the distance of the gas line run. It also varies by fuel, propane verses natural. Follow this link for a chart of gas ling sizes: http://www.FireLogs.com/gasline.htm.

The gas usage varies by set size. A 24" vented set on natural gas consumes 90,000 BTUs. Look here for the BTU inputs of all our products: http://www.FireLogs.com/BTUInputs.htm

No, we pride ourselves that our logs retain their shape and size and do not expand and fall apart while burning. This is because the logs are compressed to the core during manufacturing.

Vented gas logs must be installed in an operational wood burning fireplace and burned with the damper and glass doors open (if glass doors are installed)! Ventless gas logs must be installed in an operational wood burning fireplace or approved ventless firebox and can be burned with the damper open or closed.

Other than the metal hardware, it is entirely made of wood... beautiful wood! Solid oak is used for the corner posts. Oak veneered panels are trimmed with solid oak edge banding. Under the oak veneer is furniture grade veneer core. We do NOT use MDF or particle board. Our toyboxes are 100% real wood!

If vented, the fireplace damper must stay fully open when in use. This is the same position used with a wood fire. Vent free gas logs on the other hand are different. The damper can be fully closed letting all the heat into the room. The damper can also be used to regulate the amount of heat produced into the room. In other words you can open the damper to let some or most of the heat go up the chimney when you want to use it as a decorative log set. I have a wood stove.

We recommend not moving the logs. Placement of the logs is critical to the operation and performance of the fireplace. Misarranged logs can result in operational problems. If you notice the logs have been moved during cleaning, contact a service person or check your installation and operating instructions for proper placement.

wood-burning fireplace to increase its efficiency and enhance its look. Gas log sets are made to be hooked up to a gas line to simulate the look of wood logs.

There are 2 types of gas logs; vented and vent free. With a vented gas log you will get a little heat but because your flue has to be completely open you are actually losing more heat than you will receive. Vent free logs on the other hand give you the ability to close your flue and use the fireplace as a heat source.

The installation manual includes detailed diagrams showing where the logs must be placed to operate at the product's optimum level.
