Good to Know: Where Can You Use Vent-Free Gas Logs?
Vent-free gas logs are designed to be installed in a certified vent-free firebox or in an existing wood-burning fireplace with the damper closed. Most models are intended for heating, but some—including manual and millivolt burners—can also be installed as decorative vented sets (with a fully open and functional damper) when heat isn’t the goal.
Note: Some municipalities do not allow vent-free gas logs. If you’re unsure, always check your local codes or consult a licensed installer before purchasing.
