Ventless gas-log question(s)

Nov 28, 2005 2 Replies

Previous owner claims 2 gas-log units in the house are 'ventless'. I can't find a manu. name/part no./mode no./ on these darn things and am hoping to at least verify they are indeed ventless.



I've been told that the very light thin-ceramic-over-fiberglass logs are a sign of a 'ventless' unit. Any other thoughts?



Has anyone ever seen a ventless unit installed into a woodstove?



I've heard ventless units have a CO2 detector built-in. Is this true? If true, when did they start doing this?



Also, has anyone ever been able to find replacement logs? Some in my unit are cracked/broken.



And last, a rant: how can a gas-log unit not have a manufacturer's name clearly stated on it? Maybe if I disconnect the gas line and look under the thing...

The list of manufactures that do not label their products is long and growing. I have never seen a ventless set of logs with a CO detector.

To many variables, seek local professional help.

==== They have an oxygen depletion sensor. You should ask your gas supplier to perform a service check. ====
