Natural gas vs propane Every Hargrove log set is configured at the factory for either Natural Gas (NG) or Liquid Propane (LP). They are NOT interchangeable in the field. Confirm your fuel type before ordering — check the rating plate on your existing fireplace insert or call your gas supplier. Installation — what to know Must be installed by a licensed plumber/gas fitter. Never DIY a gas line installation. Vented logs require a working chimney with open damper during operation. Vent-free logs require an oxygen depletion sensor (ODS) — included on all Hargrove vent-free sets. Lead time: 5-10 business days for in-stock sets; 14-21 days for custom configurations. Frequently asked questions Can I install gas logs in my wood-burning fireplace? Yes — converting a wood-burning fireplace to gas logs is one of the most popular upgrades. You'll need a gas line run to the firebox (call a licensed plumber). The chimney stays open for vented logs; vent-free works without modification. How much does it cost to run gas logs? Most vented log sets consume 60,000-90,000 BTU/hr. At typical natural gas rates ($1.20/therm), that's roughly $0.70-$1.10 per hour of operation. Vent-free sets run smaller (25,000-40,000 BTU) and cost $0.30-$0.50 per hour. Do gas logs produce real heat? Vent-free yes — most heat stays in the room. Vented logs prioritize flame aesthetics over heat (most warmth goes up the chimney). For heat AND realism, consider a gas insert instead of standard logs. Are gas logs safe? Hargrove logs include automatic safety pilots and (vent-free models) oxygen depletion sensors. Both technologies have been standard for 30+ years. Annual inspection by a chimney sweep is recommended for vented setups. Can I order Hargrove gas logs anywhere in the US? Yes — ExceptionalFire ships free across the continental US.
