A long first burn
New logs and a new burner give off a smell the first time they burn as their materials cure, and a little smoke early on is expected. Makers suggest a long first run with windows open to get past it. Pets and people sensitive to odors are better out of the room for that first run.
We do the first light with you, explain what is normal during those early burns and what is not, and leave the manual with the house. New gas logs going in at your Lake Asbury home? Put the install on the calendar at (904) 920-5495.

How our gas log pros install a set in Lake Asbury
-
Measure firebox and room
Firebox, chimney height and, for vent-free sets, the room are checked against the manual.
-
Clean and clamp
Soot and debris come out of the fireplace, and vented sets get their permanent damper clamp.
-
Connect and test
Once gas reaches the valve, the set is connected, leak tested and its pressure read.
-
Place logs and light
Logs and embers go where the manual shows, and we light the set with you.
Glass doors on inland fireplaces
Many fireplaces in Lake Asbury have glass doors. With gas logs, the doors stay fully open while the set burns.
We check the frame for airflow when we measure.

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.
Minimum firebox size for a vent-free set
Size tables for vent-free sets are separate. One maker's 18-inch set needs a firebox at least 24 inches high, 14 deep, 28 wide at the front and 20 at the rear, and its 24-inch set needs 32 and 22 inches of width.
The same manual sets clearances from the fireplace opening: 16 inches to a side wall and 42 inches from the top of the opening to the ceiling for both sizes. We measure the firebox and the wall around it together, since a set that fits the firebox can still miss the clearances. Both sets of figures go on the estimate.
A level floor under the burner
Burners are built to sit flat. One maker's manual says the fireplace floor must be level and smooth, since a burner pan that rocks or tilts changes how gas spreads through it and how the flames rise around the logs.
Old fireboxes can have sunken bricks or a rough ash-worn floor. We check the floor with a level before setting the burner, shim or correct it where the manual allows, and write up firebox floor repair separately where the floor itself needs work. The burner is then centered and secured as the manual shows. A shim is used only where the manual allows one.
Measured in Lake Asbury before a log set is ordered
- Front lip or recess measured, with depth taken inside it
- Flue, damper and firebox cleaned and inspected before the burner goes in
- Gas type on the rating plate matched to the gas at the house
- Glass doors and frame checked for airflow and opening size
Before a log set goes in
Who runs the gas line?
The gas trade: a gas fitter, the utility or your propane company. The estimate names them, and our hookup and test follow once gas is at the valve.
Can I burn wood with the gas logs in place?
No. The logs and burner are not built for a wood fire, and one vent-free maker bans solid fuel in a fireplace with its set installed.
