Choosing which fireplace would be best for you home is easy, as there are many different options, in style and in the fuel or power as the case may be.  When it comes to creating warmth, in both temperature and in feel, the cozy atmosphere of a home in winter can only be attained through the gentle glow of fireplaces.  Gas models are quite popular these days, as they burn efficiently using either propane or natural gas.

They conveniently “light” through the flip of a switch either on the mantle or from a remote control device.  They are relatively maintenance free when it comes to clean up, and the styles of logs…the designs and the structure, are now very realistic looking, some models even have what appears to be glowing embers on the floor of the fire pit.  There are two different kinds of gas flame, and the variation is in the color.  One flame is blue in tint, while the other is yellow.

If the flame is blue, then the logs have been made to produce a hotter heat.  They may not be as stylistically designed as other kinds of logs, but they do burn extremely clean.  These are vent free logs, which means that they can be burned inside, without needing to open the damper in the chimney.  The logs that send of a yellow flame, will need to be vented.  The flame is more realistic looking, and this makes them more popular than the blue flame logs.

If the look of a real fire is something that it important to you, these are the ones to go with as most people really can not tell the difference between this flame and the logs, and a fire burning with real wood.  These however, do produce a deposit of soot in the chimney just as the wood fireplaces, so while daily cleanup is not an issue you will have to hire a chimney sweep once a year.  Either way, both of these options are going to be more clean than a traditional fireplace, giving you much more time to relax in front of the fire, and bathe in the cozy warmth.
