I have a gas log fireplace that after a period of time the fire as well as the pilot light will go out. What could be the problem?
Thank you,

Linda, I don't know how long ago you posted this, but when you write in THIS area, your question gets routed to the "already answered" bin- I caught it by accident. Your problem is likely due to something with the thermocouple. That is the device that senses heat fom the pilot light- no heat, it turns off gas as a safety measure. Get a gas appliance repairman to check- they do go bad, get bent, etc. Not incredibly expensive to replace.

Gas will stay in a cup. If the gas is denser then air, it will settle into the cup and stay there in much the same way that a liquid will. If the gas is close to the same density as the air, or lighter, it will float away and mix with the air.

How long will 23 gallons of propane last at 39000 btu gas logs?
The lifespan of propane gas logs depend on many different things. If the logs are 'vented gas logs' and made from heavy ceramic that take the flame directly will only last a given amount of hours until the heat of the LP breaks them apart, something like 2-3 years with normal use. A vented set using light weight ceramic fiber logs will last almost forever. If the logs are 'vent-free' they will last several years as well, until the burner burns up from the heat of the LP, but the logs themselves will last forever on any 'vent-free' gas log.

Not a job for the average homeowner. Contact a gas appliance company.
