Well- you can't. Ventless is a different design. To try to do this would be extremely dangerous.

And you can its about the perspective of the asking party. Did they mean "can you take a vented log set/ and burner and make it into a vent-less log set/ burner and just close the damper then yes that would be dangerous and cannot be done, however if the asking party just meant can they use the existing fire box, and using a vent-less burner then this would be safe and acceptable

How much does it cost to convert a wood burning fireplace to a gas fireplace?

It is not as bad as you think, the most difficult part is deciding whether to keep it as a gas fireplace or a wood burning fireplace with a gas lighter; so you can have both. Decide the gas to be used, Natural gas or LP (pretty much determined by what is already available) The fireplace itself needs little modification except the gas supply and available electrical circuit (depending what type/style gas fireplace you want.) If you decide on gas with artificial logs, then running black pipe to copper lines is all you need. If you are going to burn gas and use wood then run black pipe throughout (remember to use a cement product, for high heat, to seal any new whole in the fireplace.) Note: Either way you decide thoroughly clean the chimney and fireplace and inspect the doors, damper, flue, and look for cracks in the fireplace. I mention this because it is probably the last time you will need to do that. I have converted fireplaces in both ways; gas to wood burner and wood burner to gas. The insert is the biggest expense you will have, you can easily spend $600 on just those parts; not installed. And please don't forget to install and easily accessible gas shutoff valve.

Are unvented fireplace logs considered safe?

Yes. Federal laws define what can be called a vent-free appliance and the laws mandate a strict limit on the amount of gas flowing to the appliance as well as oxygen-depletion sensors and safety features -- like a safety valve using a solenoid, electromagnet and thermocouple -- that make it impossible for gas to leak. The biggest nuisance is that fire still pulls in oxygen to burn and then emits back out like an open air pump except there is no ventilation so the flames sucking-in air can pull-in fumes from cleaning products, candles, detergents, etc and sometimes these chemicals can smell pretty bad once they have been pulled into the heated fireplace and pushed back out again after passing through the flames. When people complain it is usually because of smells.


How does Pidgin create log files?

Pidgin creates logs by saving the contents of all incoming and outgoing messages to a series of files on your hard drive. The log directory can be found in Linux under ~/.purple/logs . Inside the log directory the files have the following setup: protocol/screenname/buddyScreenname/yyyy-mm-dd-hhmmss.html So for instance, if I started talking to my friend bob on AIM from my screenname CoolGuy at 1:49 PM on Jan 23, 2009, the file would be saved as logs/aim/coolguy/bob/2009-01-23-134900.html
