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.

Soot on gas logs can be due to incomplete combustion, improper gas flow, or dirty burner ports. It is important to have the gas logs inspected and cleaned regularly to ensure proper operation and prevent the buildup of soot, which can be a fire hazard.
First you must figure out if is a vented or non vented gas logs. Also you must inspect you fireplace to make sure it can use gas logs. Most fireplaces can use gas logs so you shouldn't face many changes.
Simple answer: No. Complex version: No freakin' way. That's a great way to burn your house down, give yourself carbon monoxide poisoning, or at least ruin the fireplace. It's not designed to burn any fuel but gas. Any number of things could go wrong if you put wood in there.
Gas fireplace logs are typically made of ceramic fiber, refractory ceramic, or ceramic fiber reinforced with cement. They are designed to withstand high temperatures and mimic the look of real wood logs while providing efficient and safe heat in gas fireplaces.
Gas logs may not stay lit due to issues such as a dirty pilot light, a faulty thermocouple, or insufficient gas flow. It is important to check and address these potential issues to ensure the gas logs stay lit properly.

Its out of gas
There could be several reasons why the gas logs in your fireplace won't stay lit. Some common reasons include a problem with the gas supply, a malfunctioning thermocouple, or a blocked pilot light. It is recommended to have a professional inspect and repair the fireplace to ensure safe operation.
No, converting vented gas logs to ventless gas logs is not recommended. The two systems operate differently, with ventless gas logs needing precise fuel combustion and a dedicated air supply to operate safely. It is best to consult a professional before making any changes to your gas log system.
yes it can, open damper in fireplace for drafting while gas logs are being used. As far as converting burners, NO. Ventless and vented burners and logs are different in design.

Gas logs can be purchased in home improvement stores such as Lowe's. Vent free gas logs are also sold on specialized websites and online retailers such as Amazone.
Peterson gas logs are decorative logs that are not made of actual wood. Therefore, the logs themselves don't burn. They can be used to spice up a fireplace or an outdoor fire pit.
To arrange gas fireplace logs for optimal performance and aesthetics, place larger logs at the bottom and smaller logs on top. Position logs to allow for proper airflow and ensure flames can reach all logs. Consider using a log set designed for gas fireplaces for a realistic look.

proably yes if not its probably something with your battery or alternator
