Vented Gas Logs
George the Chimney Guy is an official installer of Vented Gas Logs made by Fireside America.
“Fully Vented” gas logs must be burned in a fireplace that is capable of burning real wood and must be burned with the damper open. The reason for this is that they do not burn the gas cleanly and create exhaust that is very similar to burning a real wood fire. This exhaust needs to be able to go up the chimney. The real beauty of vented gas logs is that they produce substantially more yellow flame than ventless logs which makes them look far more realistic. The downside is that most of the heat goes right up the chimney.
Positive Features of Vented Gas Logs:
- Extremely realistic flame pattern that looks like a wood fire.
- Flame is much taller than ventless logs.
- Flame dances and wraps around logs like real wood.
- A vented gas log fireplace is very low maintenance.
- Many models even come with a remote control.
- Does not require a CO2 detector.
- Since the damper is open, most of the smell will go up the chimney

Great service. Had him come to our house today for a basic chimney cleaning. He was very professional, friendly, and took the time to answer all of our questions. We never write reviews but felt the need to since this is the first chimney company we felt comfortable with. We highly recommend his services.
Recently called George for a quote to inspect my chimney on a new house I just bought before I fired it up this winter. George confirmed it was in good shape and didn’t try to say it needed work that was unnecessary like other chimney companies I’ve heard about. He was honest and showed up on time. I would highly recommend him.
