Yellow flames licking the logs
Some yellow at the flame tips of a vent-free set can be normal, but flames that wrap around and touch the logs are not. Flame contact cools the flame and leaves soot, and one manual names it directly as the cause of sooting. Flames that change shape when a fan or the air handler starts are a clue that drafts are involved.
On a vent-free unit in Ponte Vedra Beach, we check the log positions against the manual's photos, clean the burner ports and air openings, and set the ember material where the maker puts it. The flame is watched through a full cycle before we sign it off.

Breezes across the burner in a coastal home in Ponte Vedra Beach
In a coastal home in Ponte Vedra Beach, windows opened to the breeze can move air across a vent-free unit. Manuals warn that drafts from windows, fans or return grilles bend the flame onto the logs, which leaves soot.
If the unit sits in a draft path, we note it and suggest keeping that airflow off the burner while it runs.

The input limit for a vent-free unit
No unvented room heater may be rated above 40,000 Btu per hour under the fuel gas code. The figure on the rating plate is what counts, and it sets how much air, and how large a room, the unit needs.
We read the input from the plate on every service and write it on the ticket. A unit rated above what its room allows is not fixed by turning it down, since the limits apply to the rating, and the estimate says what the options are. Units sold in the past may not match the current rules, so the plate on your unit is what we go by.
Bedrooms and bathrooms
Section 303.3 of the fuel gas code keeps unvented appliances out of sleeping rooms and bathrooms. Its exceptions cover only a single wall-hung heater with an oxygen depletion safety system, capped at 10,000 Btu per hour for sleeping rooms and 6,000 for bathrooms.
Fireplaces and log sets do not fit those exceptions. Where we find one in a bedroom, we write down what the code says and the options, including a vented unit, and leave the choice with you. A unit that met an older rule may still be sitting in a bedroom, and we point that out when we find it.
Setting logs to the manual
Every vent-free log set comes with a placement diagram or photos, and the logs belong exactly where they show. A log moved an inch can sit in the flame path, and flame touching a log cools the flame and leaves soot.
After any cleaning, we set each log to the diagram and check the flame from the front and the sides. If a log is cracked or missing, it is replaced with the maker's log for that model, not a similar one. Logs are handled gently, since ceramic fiber logs chip and crack when dropped.
