We have gas logs in Florida and can barely heat one medium sized room....they are more for decoration as far as we are concerned.

We have a gas log fireplace in our house (northern Oregon)and find that it works almost too well. We installed it as an alternative to the gas heating system when the power (hopefully not the gas) goes out. This fireplace will heat our entire home, although the living room where it's located may become too hot to live in. This thing works!

Roger,

Are your gas logs vented or unvented? If they are unvented, do you leave the flue open or is it completely closed? What size is the gas log set you are using? Natural gas or propane? If the log set is unvented, do you have problems with condensation? Do you leave the glass doors on your fireplace open or closed? Does your fireplace have an intake for outside air or is it burning the air from inside your home? Does your fireplace have a blower?

Thank you!
