Natural Gas Fire Logs - $50

Gas fire logs provide a clean, pleasant heat source without wood to handle or ashes to remove, no flying sparks or embers to worry about and no creosote build-up.

1. Vented fire logs (beauty logs) produce warm yellow flames and the soothing glow of a wood fire. Efficiency is good compared to a wood fire - 47% to 60% for vented fire logs vs. 23% for wood - but not as good as unvented fire logs (see below). If you want to gather the family around the fireplace for popcorn and Scrabble, this is probably the way to go. Vented fire logs provide heat, but not so much that you're driven back from the hearth.
2. Unvented fire logs (heating logs) and wood stove-style gas heaters are 99+% efficient. Virtually all the heat produced goes into the house, almost none escapes up the chimney. Unvented gas firelogs typically range in size from 20,000 to 40,000 btu's heat output per hour.
