Fireplace Logs...So Many Choices

[salty87]

First timer at buying fireplace logs. This will be for an outdoor fireplace fueled by propane. The choices are kinda overwhelming...vented/vent-free, remotes, thermostatic, styles, etc...

Anyone have any insight? What's best for outdoor fireplace?

We're not expecting a bunch of heat but a little would be nice. Not having to use a match or handheld lighter would be good.

It's going to be that time of year soon.

Thanks

We have indoor gas logs which use a little remote control. Handy!

The logs are just decorative for the most part- the fuel part sits under them. Some even allow for some small glass or fake embers to sit around the logs which then heat up and look nice.

I would make sure which ever you buy it is intended for propane. I think there is some difference in the burner, but I could be "mis-remembering" lol.

You really don't need to worry about vented/non-vented since its sitting outside. I *think* you'll get more heat from the non-vented type.

Check out Eiklor Flames. We have the Ultimate 5 inside and are very pleased. Looks fantastic and puts out good heat. They are not cheap, but they are the best. You will not be disappointed.

Correct. Natural gas uses lower pressure and the burners have larger orifices. You can't run propane on a natural gas burner and vice versa.
