What a good flame looks like

A log set should look like a wood fire, and the flame tells you whether the set is right. A healthy vented set shows a lively yellow flame with blue at its roots, tallest in the middle and low and flickering over the embers. Flames that are dark, lazy or lifting off the burner call for adjustment.

On install day we light the set with you and adjust it until it looks the way the manual describes. A flame far off that picture gets a service call. Gas logs in Crawford that have not looked right since day one? Call (904) 920-5495.

A tight house in Crawford

A sealed, weather-stripped house in Crawford may not leak enough air for a vent-free set.

We ask about the house before recommending one.

What a vented log set is listed to

Florida's fuel gas code, in section 602.1, covers decorative appliances for installation in approved solid-fuel fireplaces: they must be listed to ANSI Z21.60 and installed according to the maker's instructions. That is the category a vented gas log set falls into.

The listing assumes a working fireplace and chimney, so the set is only as safe as the fireplace it sits in. One vented set's manual limits it to a solid-fuel-burning fireplace with a working flue, built of noncombustible materials. We confirm that before any set is recommended, and the listing is recorded on the ticket.

The room-size rule for vent-free logs

Room volume sets the ceiling on vent-free input. Under 621.5, all the unvented appliances in a space together may not exceed 20 Btu an hour per cubic foot, so a 30,000 Btu an hour set needs 1,500 cubic feet or more.

Rooms joined by doorless openings can count together, and one maker's manual includes a worksheet for exactly that. We measure length, width and ceiling height, add connected spaces where they qualify, and compare the total with the set's input before recommending vent-free. A room that falls short gets a smaller set or a vented one.

Cleaning the fireplace for gas logs

Makers want a clean fireplace under their burners. One vented set's manual calls for the chimney flue, damper and firebox to be thoroughly cleaned of soot, ashes and loose paint and inspected before installation, and warns that some older fireplaces need repair first.

A vent-free maker asks for the same cleaning of the flue and firebox. Cleaning also shows the condition of the damper that will hold the clamp and the firebox floor that will carry the burner, and we write down anything that needs fixing first. Loose paint in particular can flake onto a burner once it heats.

Before a log set goes in

What is the damper clamp for?

It fixes the damper partly open so exhaust from vented logs keeps a way out, even if someone reaches for the handle. Fitting it is part of our installation.

Can I convert my log set to propane?

It depends on the set. Some are not convertible in the field at all, and others convert with the maker's instructions. The rating plate and manual decide.
