Old logs cracked or crumbling
Ceramic gas logs crack, chip and crumble with age, and a broken log shifts out of place, puts flame where it should not be and makes soot. Makers treat a broken log as a reason to stop using the set until it is replaced. A cracked log can also shed pieces that land on the burner ports.
Replacements are ordered by the set's model and placed where the manual shows, since logs from another set change the flame. Cracked logs in a gas log set in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace? Call (904) 920-5495 to have them replaced.

Heavy rain and a vented set in Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace
Heavy storm rain reaches far inland between June and November, and water coming down an open flue lands on a vented set's burner.
A cap on the chimney keeps it out, and we check for one during the inspection.

Water vapor from vent-free logs
Water is one product of burning gas, and with no vent it stays in the room. One vent-free maker estimates roughly an ounce of water per 1,000 Btu of input each hour, and cautions that a poorly ventilated room can grow mildew.
The same maker suggests sizing the set properly for the room, using a dehumidifier where humidity is high, and not relying on the set as the main heat. We weigh this with you, since a room that already runs damp is a poor match for vent-free logs. Rooms that already fog their windows are a poor match.
Glass doors and a gas log set
Wood fireplace doors and gas logs need care together. Log set manuals call for glass doors to be fully open whenever the burner runs, and one maker requires any door frame that blocks air along the fireplace floor to have slots above the floor for ventilation.
The same maker measures the fireplace opening with the doors fully open against its minimum size table. We check the doors and frame during the measuring visit, and where the frame blocks air, we write down what it needs before the set goes in. Closed doors in front of a running set are one of the quicker ways to crack glass or overheat a frame.
Broken and chipped logs
Cracked or broken logs change the flame around them. One vent-free maker says not to run its set with a broken log or with a chip the size of a dime or larger, and another maker's vented manual says not to operate with any log broken.
Replacement logs come from the set's own parts list, placed where the originals sat. We do not mix logs from other sets, even when they look alike, because their shape and position are part of how the burner was tested. Ordering by the set's model number keeps the shapes right.

Gas log questions from Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace
Are vent-free logs allowed in any room?
No. The fuel gas code limits them by room size and input, and one maker's set may not go in a bedroom or bathroom. Some local rules prohibit them altogether.
Why are my gas logs getting sooty?
Flame touching a log it should not reach, a burner or ember bed out of order, or a shortage of air. Logs go back to the manual's layout and the burner and air get checked.
