Vented gas logs can take the place of wood in a fireplace with an operable chimney. Vented gas logs can burn either natural or propane gas, but both types are always burned with the damper open.  When the logs burn they have the realistic look of a natural wood burning fire. 

The logs can come in a variety of sizes and styles.  You can also keep the logs on a manual setting or add a remote control for a fire at your fingertips.
