When the gas is lit in a fireplace, the flames generate heat that radiates outwards. Some of this heat warms the materials around the fireplace, including the mantel, causing it to become hot. The mantel is designed to withstand a certain amount of heat, but it is important to ensure it is not excessively hot to prevent any safety hazards.

Turn off all of the gas appliances in the home except for the the fireplace. Watch the gas meter for 60 seconds and record the cubic foot usage, multiply the reading you get times 60 and that is your NG consumption for 1 hour. To convert to btu, multiply the 1 hour reading by 1000 and that #, if the fireplace is set up and burning properly should be the same as the Input rating on the fireplace tag. If you simply want to know how much gas you are using when lit, divide the Input rating on the tag by 1000 and that will tell how much NG you are using per hour in cubic feet.
