When I bought my condo, the fireplace has gas line capped but I would like to buy components to connect. How hard is it to do that? Are there complete self installation kits to allow that? I currently only burn the duraflame logs but would really like a gas fireplace kit to connect. If you have done this recently, how much did the kit cost and was it professionally installed?
I do not live in Great Britain.
I live in California. The gas line already runs to fireplace. It is simply a matter of buying a kit with the logs and the connector to the pipe, I think.

My house is mainly electric, but we do have a gas fireplace on the first floor within about 30 feet of the stove. How difficult and how expensive would it be to have someone come in and pipe in gas to the kitchen so I can have a gas stove? I hate electric stoves!

I have shattered the two doors, and I was told I could use the glass pieces in my gas fireplace (replacing the existing logs)

I am wanting to clean my gas fireplace and I noticed a lint-type material under the log insert. It’s gray lint and very lumpy. Covers the entire bottom of the gas log insert. Is this lint necessary, or did the previous owners never clean the fireplace?!

I have a regular gas fireplace. It is supposed to be operated at the flip of the switch but the switch has never worked. We were lighting it manually for a while until we had a gas leak and had to shut it off. We would much rather have a wood burning fireplace but dont know what to do and if we can even afford it. So what should we do and how much would it cost to get a wood burning fireplace?

Thanks

I just got an apartment with a wood burning fireplace and I have only ever used my dad’s gas fireplace.

I live in Las Vegas and of course it always hot weather here so I don’t need my gas fireplace pilot to be on because I never use it and the pilot still generates some heat.
There is a wall switch that lights the fireplace and next to that is a valve with a key in it.
My question is, which way do I turn the key to turn off the gas going to the fireplace?

And does this key turn off the pilot or does that need to be done proffesionaly? If I turn the key will there still be gas leaking?

Thanks

Two of the actual logs broke in our gas fireplace. The fireplace is made by Monessen model #DEB24 natural gas. Is there anywhere that sells just the logs without having to buy an entire new fireplace? I looked at Monesen’s website and it said to contact the dealer where the fireplace was bought with any concerns, but the logs were here when we bought the house and I have no clue where they came from.

Thinking about installing a wood stove in the basement. There is a window in the basement in a good location. However this is a 2 story with vinyl siding. It would probably be a pretty big project if I had to enclose the pipe all the way up past the roof.

My real question is does it have to go up over the roof line? I’ve seen these little vents that they’ve used on other houses in the neighborhood that go out the side, but I think that might be for a gas fireplace.
