Gas logs are artificial logs designed to mimic the look of a traditional wood-burning fire while offering the convenience and cleanliness of gas fuel. They eliminate the need for cleaning up ash and residue, making them a hassle-free alternative to wood.
When used with gas inserts, gas logs are more efficient than wood-burning fireplaces, but they typically produce lower heat output. You can install gas logs in a wood-burning fireplace with the proper setup, but it's important to note that you cannot burn real wood in a gas fireplace.
Gas logs provide the warmth and ambiance of a fire without the mess and maintenance of traditional wood-burning fireplaces.
