Inspirational Fireplace Gas Logs - Valuable Reviews

I used to think that fireplace gas logs look cheap. You see, I am a big believer 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 have a gas burning fireplace, for what reason would you want it to look as if it was a real wood burning fireplace full of 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.


Nevertheless, 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. For years I have been burning wood in my fireplace. In the middle of the room where I grew up, there was free standing fireplace. We still had the old wood burning stove that used to heat the house although my parents had installed internal heating. It looked great and cozy and was very practical. The entire house was heated in a cheap way


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 a pile of wood. for someone who grown up burning real fire place logs I had to admit that it provided a persuasive reproduction. 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 much better than I would have thought. Nevertheless, nothing beats the real thing if you ask me! 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. Maybe it is better than nothing, but it is still not quite real. That is my opinion for now of course. Either way a fireplace is nice to have. Just be careful and enjoy it.
