Traditional vs Modern Log Sets: Which is Right for You?

If you have a fireplace that needs to be updated, there are several routes you can go. You can continue to use it as a wood-burning fireplace, chopping and stacking wood, laying the fire, and getting up from time to time to tend to the fire and add more logs to keep the fire going. This produces a snapping, crackling fire that is mesmerizing and comforting in the middle of a Wisconsin snowstorm. Although some people really enjoy the work that goes into a traditional wood fire, for some people at the end of a long day of work, this just seems like too much trouble. If you’re in the latter category and you’re looking to update your fireplace, a great way to go is to install a gas log set.

Convenience, Convenience, and More Convenience

When you install a gas log set, you get the look of a crackling fire with none of the work. After installing a gas line and your gas log set, all it takes is a flip of a switch to have a beautiful fire going. If you’re thinking that this means a pale, weak flame, then you haven’t seen the newest gas log sets. These sets look natural and come in a wide variety of styles so that it looks just like you have logs laid out, ready to burn. Remote controls are available so that you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your couch to turn the flames on. Imagine snuggling up on the couch, then just clicking a remote and enjoying the warmth and comfort of a crackling fire! When you’re ready to turn in, it’s just as easy to click a remote or flip a switch again, and the fire is gone. No waiting for it to burn down and no cleaning up of ashes afterward.

If you decide that the convenience of gas logs are for you, give The Fire Factory a call and let us help you pick just the right set for you. Deciding to go with gas logs isn’t the last decision you’ll need to make. Gas logs come in a variety of styles, too. If you love the look of the traditional fireplace, we have log sets that fit right in. You can pick a split look if you prefer, or a log set that looks like it’s been burnt. Different types of wood looks are also available. If you prefer a modern look, we can help you there as well!
