There are several possible reasons why your gas fireplace may not be lighting all the way. It could be due to a clogged burner or pilot orifice, insufficient gas supply, a faulty thermocouple, or a problem with the ignition system. It is recommended to have a professional technician inspect and repair the fireplace to ensure safe and proper functioning.
Normal Fire Place because you don't have to waste money to burn it! Would you like to pay 50.00 for gas or pay 0.00 for gas!Irvs12 **That is partially true. You can use a fireplace with a gas supply to burn natural gas under log looking fireplace decoration. That is expensive. You can also use the gas burner to ignite actual logs you place above the gas flame. That's just an easy way to light your fireplace.
A gas fireplace is a great way to go because they can be turned on with a flick of a button and don't produce the soot that a wood burning fireplace does. Also they are widely available and can be cutomized to fit your design style.
When there is a fire in the fireplace, the flue should be all the way open. Otherwise, some smoke and unhealthful gases will come out into the room. The damper should be all the way closed to keep out wind or cold air when there is no fire in the fireplace.
The correct way to write fireplace is as one word - "fireplace."
Often the most efficient way to do this is to buy an insert for your wood burning fireplace. There are many professional companies who can do this and ensure that the job is done correctly.
To operate the wall switch for a gas fireplace, simply flip the switch to the "on" position to ignite the fireplace, and then flip it to the "off" position to extinguish the flames. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper usage and safety precautions.
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.
You can describe a fireplace as:CracklingBlazingHotColors (Red, Orange, Yellow)WarmYou can technically describe a fireplace the same way you describe fire. All you have to do is think about it.
It is unlikely that a gas fireplace built in the US in 1994 would contain asbestos, but the only way to know for certain is to have it inspected, and samples collected for analysis if necessary, by a qualified specialist.
Yes you can certainly contact your local fireplace cleaning/repair location to get insulation for the fireplace and to check the chimney for leaks as well.
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.
NO. a flue should never be closed when a fire is lit. It is the way poisonous gases like carbon monoxide are taken out of a room,hallway or any enclosed space. flues can be closed only when a fire is not being used,to keep out draughts on windy days.
