The benefit to a ventless gas log fireplace outdoors is convenience and cost. The process of building proper ventilation and a chimney can often double the expense of custom fireplaces indoors or outside. Convenience is the ability to create a perfect flame pattern as easily as turning on a barbeque grill. Many gas log fireplaces have complex valve options that allow variable remote controls that alter flame height, on/off remotes, wall switches and thermostatic controllers that turn the fireplace on and off based on the temperature read at the thermostat. I do not recommend any of these valves in your backyard. A manual safety pilot kit has a standing pilot light that stays on always. As long as the pilot is burning, the fireplace can be controlled with a simple control knob. A couple of decorative ceramic pinecones or wood chunks hide the controls. Remotes, wall switches, thermostatic controls and other valves use batteries. Even a gas log fireplace that is under an overhang will be affected by moisture in the air. Here in Florida where humidity is tremendous, a battery operated valve will corrode within a year in most backyards.
Stained glass fireplace screens are not as popular as the metal ones because they tend to be delicate and cannot endure fire. Aside from stained glass and metal, these screen’s is also available in tempered and leaded glass type that includes glass panels and metal frames. If you enjoy watching burning logs in your fireplace, it is recommended to have the glass type that can be clear and frosted. For the best fireplace screen purchase, it is recommended to ponder on the design, safety and the function. Doing your homework in researching the different fireplace screen types can help you find the best quality. Knowing certain information about fireplace screens and fireplace accessories can help you determine the appropriate fireplace parts to purchase.
