What is a Vented Gas Log?

Vented gas logs are natural-looking fake wood logs that go in conventional fireplaces to produce flame and heat. They are designed to be used with a functioning chimney or flue, which vents the combustion gases outside, providing a realistic fireplace experience with the convenience of gas.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ L = 36 - 3 = 33 \text{ inches} \] \[ W = 24 - 3 = 21 \text{ inches} \]

The maximum length of the gas log is 33 inches, and the maximum width is 21 inches.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ L = 42 - 3 = 39 \text{ inches} \] \[ W = 30 - 3 = 27 \text{ inches} \]

The maximum length of the gas log is 39 inches, and the maximum width is 27 inches.
