Best Answer

Copper fireplace sets are better in sense that it has a higher melting point than brass. On the other hand copper has a more dull color than brass and is harder to polish. Since the sets will be outside away from the fire, brass sets are more beautiful and easier to clean.

How effective is brass a conductor of electricity?

It isn't. In terms of volume, silver is best, followed by copper, then aluminum. Aluminum is 2X better conductivity by weight than anything else. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and their proportions can be varied to create different brasses. So if you wanted to make brass highly electrically conductive, you would add a lot of copper and silver to it. There is a common brass known as "electrical brass" that is commonly used for electrical conductor parts, and it's chief virtues are that it can be worked easily and is not expensive.
