How we handle gas log installation in Rock Lake
Useful to know before you approve a log set for your Rock Lake fireplace.
Embers and extras the set does not list
Glowing embers make a log set look alive, and more is not better. One maker says not to add any additional embers to its set, since extra embers will cause unsafe operation, and to discard the ember screen and extra embers supplied with one of its log styles because they do not apply to that burner.
A vent-free manual goes further, ruling out added logs and ornaments such as pine cones. Our crew installs exactly the media and embers your set lists.
Burner position in the firebox
Where the burner sits matters as much as the burner itself. One maker lists a burner positioned too close to the front of the firebox as a reason for smoke and soot, and its fix is to move the burner system to the center.
A centered burner keeps the flames inside the fireplace and gives the exhaust a straight path to the flue. Our crew centers the pan, checks the clearance at the front and watches the first burn from the room.
Noncombustible facing above a vent-free set
A vent-free set sends hot air up the face of the fireplace. Without a mantel, one manual requires noncombustible material such as slate, marble or tile, at least 1/2 inch thick, above the fireplace opening, and sheet metal only with noncombustible material behind it.
Painted drywall or wood trim right above the opening does not meet that rule. Our pros check the facing and explain the fix, whether that is new facing, a hood accessory or running the set vented with the damper open.
Gas piping as its own line of work
Running a new gas line or extending an old one is work for a qualified gas contractor. On our estimates it appears as a separate line, so you can see the log set installation and the piping side by side.
Our crew tells you what the set's manual asks of the supply, including the pipe size, the pressure and the shutoff valve, so the gas contractor has what they need. The log set goes in once the supply meets those numbers.
Flame at the air mixer on propane sets
On some propane models, a flame can appear at the air mixer or orifice instead of across the burner. One maker lists clogged burner ports, gas pressure and the wrong or tightly packed media as the causes.
The same manual says propane sets must use the proper vermiculite, loosened around the burner pipe. Our crew checks the media, cleans the ports and tests the pressure, then relights the set and watches the flame settle where it belongs.

What people in Rock Lake ask about gas logs
Our gas log team in Rock Lake answers the usual questions here. Call about anything else.
Does it matter if my home uses natural gas or propane?
Yes. The set must match the gas named on its rating plate. One vented set is not field convertible at all, while one vent-free set can be converted between the two gases by a qualified installer. One maker also requires the propane supply to be regulated.
Is the gas log inspection in Rock Lake really free?
Yes. We measure and check the fireplace and write up the estimate at no charge, with no obligation. If you go ahead within 72 hours after the inspection, 10% comes off.
