Glowing Embers for Vented Gas Log Sets

It started putting out soot, because it was dirty to begin with. You do need to clean them quite often. We use ours on a daily basis this time of year and I clean it once a week. I use a vacuum and and also canned air. I use the canned air on the thermal couple. I use the vacuum to clean the logs and the fire place itself. Dust does a number on these.

Hope this helps.

Thanks...I'll give it a shot. This one is extremely simple. I think I paid about $30 plus shipping. There is no thermocouple, thermostat or pilot light. It's just a tube with holes in it attached to the gas pipe. Nothing to adjust at all. I think I'll replace the flexible gas line while I've got it cleaned up.

I did not realize which you had. That pipe gets dust in it and needs to be blown out every so often. I blow mine out gas pipe out at the end of the heating season and the beginning. I may get done once or twice during the heating system also. I always take the vacuum to it once a week. It does not take much dust in it either to create soot. Had to repaint the living room because of this.
