Fireplace Gas Logs - Helpful Benefits

I used to think that fireplace gas logs look cheap. You see, I am a big believer in form following function. It's fine if you are having a fire in the fireplace. Fireplace logs look the way they do because that is what they are. If you're going to use a gas burning fireplace, why make it look like it is filled with real logs? It doesn't make sense. It's kind of nostalgia to use a fireplace gas log. If you want a real wood burning fire, have one. Otherwise don't.

On the other hand, I was really impressed with the realism when I was over at my cousins house - a cousin who has fireplace gas logs. The fireplace gas logs really looked like the original. For years I have been burning wood in my fireplace. I grew up with a free standing fireplace in the middle of the room. Although my parents had installed internal heating, we still had the old wood burning stove that we could use to heat the house. It looked great and cozy and was very practical. It really offered a cheap way to heat the entire house

The fireplace gas logs looked so realistic. The style of the fireplace was remarkably like the one that I'd grown up with, and every fireplace gas log seems like it had been hand split and thrown on a pile of wood. I had to admit that, for someone who grown up burning real fire place logs it provided a tempting simulation. Sometimes I ask myself that if I grew up in a house that burns fireplace gas logs, would I never become attached to fire in the same way that people who grew up burning wood were? It really is hard to know!

I still like having a real wood burning fireplace a little bit better even though I like my cousin's direct vent fireplace. The fireplace gas logs are much better than I would have thought. But if you ask me, nothing beats the real thing. If you can't see the wood spark, can't stir the fire with a poker, and can't smell the smell of burning timber, it is not a real fireplace no matter how good it looks. It may be better than nothing, but it is still not quite authentic. It is my opinion for now of course. Either way a fireplace is nice to have. Just be careful and enjoy it.
