We just had new vented gas logs installed this evening in our house in a non-prefab wood fireplace. A professional installed it and said that the smell from the gas would disappear. However after we had it on for 15 minutes or so and left it on for about 4 hours it smoked a great deal and basically our house filled with smoke. We opened up a couple of windows and this seemed to help and the amount of smoke has decreased but we were wondering if this was normal for brand new logs (is there some sort of coating that burns off the logs at first?) or is there a problem here that will persist? Any info is appreciated.
