Fireplace Sizing - How to Measure your Fireplace for A Gas Log Set It’s important to buy the right size log set - improper sizing can interfere with proper drafting of your fireplace. If the logs are too large, the unit will not burn as efficiently and the size may hamper the proper operation of the control system. If the set is too small, the beauty of your hearth setting will be diminished. Look below to see the parts of the fireplace you’ll need to measure before purchasing your log set - this area of your fireplace is called the "firebox." By measuring the front width, back wall, depth and height of your firebox, you can determine what size log set you will need. Where to Measure Your Fireplace Bring these measurements to your participating Real-Fyre dealer for help in selecting the right log set. Installation Installation availability will vary from dealer to dealer but most hearth stores have certified installers on hand to deliver and professionally install your new Real-Fyre gas logs. If not, the staff will refer you to a professional certified installer in your area.

(normal room oxygen levels are 21%). The pilot on a vent free set that has been automatically shut off by the ODS can only be re-lit when fresh air is available. This may require opening a window or a door to another room or cracking the damper open slightly. Copyright 2007 - Website and Hosting by DATA BOY DESIGN
