Fireplace Gas Logs - Helpful Benefits

I always thought that fireplace gas logs look cheap. You see, I believe in form following function. If you are having a fire in the fireplace, that is fine. 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.

Nonetheless, when I was over at my cousins house - a cousin who has fireplace gas logs, I was really impressed with the realism. The fireplace gas logs really looked like the original. I had been burning fires in my fireplace for years. In the middle of the room where I grew up, there was free standing fireplace. Although my parents had installed internal heating, we still had the old wood burning stove that we could use to heat the house. It was great! Not only was it cozy, but it was practical as well. It really offered a cheap way to heat the entire house

The fireplace gas logs looked so realistic. The fireplace'style was almost exactly the same as the one we had when I was young, and each fireplace gas log looked like it had been hand split and thrown on wood pile. I had to admit that, for someone who grown up burning real fire place logs it provided a tempting simulation. I wondered what would happen if you grew up in a house that burns fireplace gas logs? Would a real fireplace burning real wood look like an attempt to simulate the cozy fire that you had grown up with? Would you 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 great. They are much better than I would have thought. But if you ask me, nothing beats the real thing. No matter how good it looks, it is not a real fireplace 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 may be better than nothing, but it is still not quite real. Tis is my opinion for now of course. Either way a fireplace is nice to have. Just be careful and enjoy it.
