Propane Fireplace Inserts
On a cold winter's evening, there's nothing better than curling up on the couch with a good book while a cozy fire burns in the fireplace nearby. And with a propane fireplace insert or natural gas insert, you can start that fire with a literal flip of a switch! Propane gas fireplace inserts are designed to be installed in your current masonry fireplace, so you don't even have to clear out an extra space.

Instead of sweeping out ashes and wiping soot off of every surface, there are a few specific parts that need to be cleaned occasionally. Your owner's manual will give specific instructions for cleaning, but the task is not nearly as labor intensive as cleaning an insert that burns wood or coal.

Is it possible to use a grill propane gas bottle for this?
1 Answer
It is not recommended to use small propane cylinders, as our models will require a tank, and, in most cases a large tank.

I have an 8-foot tall arch fireplace converted from wood-burning to propane, and I would like to put an insert in there instead. Since an insert doesn’t put off heat like wood-burning, can we buy a mantle or shiplap the fireplace to cover the arch without actually bricking up space above an insert?
1 Answer
If you do not want to use masonry to match the surrounding brick, you could use other noncombustible materials to cover the existing brick and create a smaller opening for the insert of your choosing. However, you should not use any combustible mantel or otherwise combustible materials to reduce the fireplace opening.

Would a 5-gallon tank be sufficient or are there other sizes to choose from? And are there any special requirements for storing the tank?
1 Answer
For a propane-fueled fireplace or gas log set, the tank must be stored outdoors. The capacity is left to the recommendation of the proper supplier, but typically you will need more than a 5-gallon container.

I have an outdoor wood-burning fireplace and want to convert to propane fireplace. What do I need to do?
1 Answer
You will need to have rigid cast iron piping run into the fireplace opening that would be capable of supplying the BTU input of whichever log set you are looking to purchase first, so I recommend contacting a locally licensed plumber or gas fitter to begin the process. To choose an outdoor log set that will fit, you will need to measure the front width, rear width, and depth of your fireplace opening.

Can 36,000 BTU vent-free propane logs be installed, where 20,000 BTU natural gas logs were taken out?
1 Answer
The log set can be installed so long as a propane gas supply is available with a minimum inlet pressure that is suitable for the propane log set.
