Bearly - we have a fireplace that was originally for wood. We converted it to vent less gas. The new ones have a sensor that turns them off if there is not enough oxygen in the air so they are very safe. We love ours. You should research them online!  Another option is to get a radiant gas heater. The do not have an open flame and are vent less.

Thank you so much, Boyz.  I have been in contact with the fireplace company near me.  They are reputable and they are fighting me on this.  I don't know why they won't do it, that is the reason they are giving me.  They are friends and also are the ones you see on the news talking about fireplaces, chimneys, and such when something comes up.  I am very frustrated over this as no one seems to be able to help me. 

I called another company first, this is before we became friends.  They wanted me to replace the whole thing, too.  One of the problems, as I see it, there needs to be two companies involved, one that supplies the tanks of gas and one that puts in the logs.  I even offered to have them put a vent in the side of the house.

The handyman wants me to get an electric one.  I want one I can look at, it seems like it should be simple.  He tried calling the gas company as he bowled with the owner years ago and he will not call him back.  Another issue is I live in a development.  Other people here have them, so I do not see what the big deal is.

 



The gas company will fight you. We ended up buying our own from Home Depot and then installed it (they are pretty easy to do). We have one at the restaurant and have for about 15 years with no exhaust at all. Every time we need to have it cleaned no one will do it. They are worried about liability. As for the gas, you can just buy a 100 lb cylinder and then it is like putting the gas on your grill - just have to have the regulator.

Thank you!

The tank is outside, right?

Prayers for Valhall and all those affected by the power outages, food shortages, and freezing cold.

Yep - unless you have natural gas in which case you can just hook up to it and it will run even with out power.

Wanna see some pics of the snow we've had? It was a pretty one!   

I took a few before I started "hoofing" it to Mom's/Michael's house, and didn't get far until a kindly neighbor gave me a lift. He even stopped and let me try to take a pic in approx the same spot as the Fall one I posted!  I took a few there, too. If I get them in order, you'll see why I didn't drive. I couldn't even see my driveway, much less head out in the car! The road in front of my house hadn't been scraped yet, but the roads had been as we went.

Hi Muffy!   

I know! It really is dirty, but it also gets a little foggy when it's really cold outside. I think the double pane seal is broken........... that's my excuse anyway!

I wasn't talking about anything dirty    (not even your window)  I was talking about sliding on ice  after looking at that hill in the pic you took.    And I used the    because of all the snow, so you could dig your way out.        Did you think I was talking about how dirty your window was      I'm not like that at all.  People in glass houses and all that     You haven't seen my windows and it isn't even snowing here

Ahhhh, HH, snow can be fun. I wouldn't want long winters, and we've had more than usual this year, but if you're a kid, or have kids, it's really exciting! These were taken on the way to and at Mom's.

Muffy, thank you for adding the links to the cases in the Gratefulness Candles thread.  I had wanted to make a suggestion for that to be done -- but I have learned if I can't be part of the solution . . . which I can't cause me not so 'puter savy.  Thank you for taking the time to do this -- it is very meaningful and I do appreciate the effort it is taking you.
