Are gas logs safe?

A gas log set is an easy and relatively inexpensive way to upgrade an older, open-burning wood fireplace. A gas line is installed into the fireplace and connected to a gas burner.

Specially designed logs are carefully positioned on the burner, and gas flames are designed to dance between the logs.

Properly installed and operated, gas logs are perfectly safe and can provide a wonderful atmosphere in your living room. Ensure an NFI-certified professional performs the installation and follow all requirements in the owner’s manual for proper operation. Note that the damper in your fireplace will have a clamp installed to prevent it from completely closing.

Please note: these are not legal in Canada.

Joseph G. Bodden is a Wisconsin native and is semi-retired after 40+ years in marketing, sales and technical customer service work. Over 28 of those years have been in the fireplace industry, many as the Hearth Division Manager in an organization that operates two retail shops. During that time, Bodden was certified by the National Fireplace Institute in wood & gas technologies. He was also selected several times by Hearth & Home magazine as a judge for the annual VESTA awards that recognize manufacturers creativity and innovation in product design and technology. One thing that Joe particularly finds fulfilling is explaining fairly complex subjects to fireplace customers and steering them to specific products that will satisfy their objectives. There’s nothing like unsolicited positive feedback from a happy customer! Bodden lives in the scenic driftless region in southwest Wisconsin with his bride of 48 years. He enjoys the outdoors, playing guitar and spending time with their grandson and five granddaughters.
