Our approach to gas logs in New Malibu
What our gas log specialists explain to homeowners in New Malibu before a set is ordered.
The kind of fireplace a vented log set needs
A vented gas log set is built to sit in a real wood-burning fireplace. One maker's manual says its set may be installed only in a wood-burning fireplace built of noncombustible material, with a flue that works, with combustion and ventilation air provided as the national fuel gas code requires.
That rules out decorative openings, fireplaces with no flue and boxes built from combustible material. Our pros confirm the fireplace type, the flue and the construction before any set is recommended.
Dual-fuel vent-free sets
Some vent-free sets ship ready for one gas and can be changed to the other. One manual describes a set shipped for propane that a qualified installer can convert to natural gas by following its instructions and markings, with no other field conversion allowed.
Our crew confirms which gas your home uses before installation and completes any conversion the manual allows, then marks the set so the next technician knows how it is configured.
Decorative sets and room heaters
The standards tell you what each kind of set is for. Vented sets are listed to ANSI Z21.60 as decorative appliances for installation in solid-fuel fireplaces, while vent-free sets are listed to ANSI Z21.11.2 as unvented room heaters.
That difference shows up in the rules around them, from the damper to the room size to the thermostat. Our pros explain which one matches what you want from the fireplace before recommending a set.
Logs stay hot after the flame is off
Ceramic logs hold heat long after the burner goes out. One maker warns that its logs remain hot for some time after use and says to wear heat-resistant gloves or let them cool before repositioning any log.
That matters with children and pets in the house and when tidying the fireplace after a gathering. Our technicians point it out at handover and show you which logs are meant to stay put.
A burner that does not burn evenly
When part of a burner lights late or burns low, one maker's troubleshooting table points to clogged burner ports, media packed too tightly and, where the top burner lights before the bottom, low pressure from a gas line that is too small.
On propane sets the same table adds a low tank and soot in the burner tube. Our technicians clean the ports, loosen the media and check the pressure before recommending anything bigger.

Asked in New Malibu about installing gas logs
Straight talk on log sets from our specialists in New Malibu, and no pressure to book.
What makes gas logs turn black?
Steady black soot on the logs is a sign of incomplete combustion. One maker says to move the affected logs so flames touch them less, following the placement diagram. If the soot keeps coming back, have the set checked.
Can I still burn wood after gas logs go in?
No. One vent-free manual says solid fuels shall not be burned in a fireplace where an unvented heater is installed, and the same manual says not to burn paper or other objects in it. The log set becomes the fire.
