Fireplace & Bar-B-Q Center is a distributor of Real-Fyre gas logs by the Robert H. Peterson Company as well as the Best-Fire line by American Gas Log. By being a distributor we are able to buy in large volumes with special discounts; thus allowing us to stock most of what we display at prices below the manufacturers suggested list price. Whether you need a vented log set, unvented log set, or if you just want to see the difference; come in a check out one of our 12 burning displays! Gas logs come in many different versions, please see our summary below for the type that best meets your needs. VENTED LOGS - The Perfect Wood Substitute - Realism
Great flame and embers---actually look better than wood! - Convenience
Easy to light; no more going out in the cold for wood; and no bugs or ashes. - Economical
Cost only about a dollar per hour to burn while most purchased wood costs $1.50 to $2.00 per hour to burn. - Energy Savings
While vented logs are no more efficient than wood while burning, you can close the damper minutes after turning them off. This avoids heat loss up the chimney the rest of the night.
VENT FREE LOGS - An Efficient Space Heater - Cost less than 40 cents per hour to burn.
- Nearly 100% efficient.
- Avoid heat loss up the chimney with no need to open and close the damper
But There Are Some Important Negatives with Vent Free Logs: - Not nearly as realistic as vented sets.
- Produce some odors in the room.
- Have pilots that burn 24/7.
- Require periodic maintenance
GAS INSERTS - An Actual Direct Vent Fireplace - Beautiful flames and embers burn behind sealed glass in a 75%-80% efficient metal box fireplace.
- 36,000 Btu's of heat for less than 40 cents an hour.
- 150 CFM fans blow heat into the room.
- No loss of heated room air up the chimney due to units use of 100% outside air for combustion.
- Perfect for masonry fireplaces with defective chimneys. You can often “insert” an efficient gas fireplace at a lower cost than re-lining the chimney.
