GAS LOG INFORMATION

Gas Logs vs. Wood Burning Fireplace

Both gas logs and wood burning fireplaces have their pros and cons. Wood burning fireplaces create beautiful yellow dancing flames and a charming crackling sound. They create a warm, cozy feeling that many people believe can not be matched by gas logs. However, they require wood. The wood is not always sitting at your home waiting to be used, and in San Diego, you can't just walk outside and chop down a tree. So, gas logs can be a wonderful alternative. Gas is conveniently in your home already, and it is cheaper to burn gas than wood.
