George from Austin TX asked:

Are there any external visual differences between the Contemporary Line and the Traditional Line of direct vent fireplaces?

If you are asking if there are any differences outside of the interior media (glass or logs), the burner will generally be configured appropriately for glass as opposed to decorative logs while the exterior design of the fireplace itself will be the same in cases where the same fireplace is offered as a traditional model with logs or a contemporary model with crushed glass, etc. The Superior DRT2033 and DRC2033 are good examples of this.

Eric from asked:

Is it safe to use regular sheetrock to the framing around the unit?

You would need to refer to the manufacturer manual regarding all clearances to combustibles. You may use drywall or sheetrock up to the nailing flanges and standoffs of the unit but you may not go over the face or past these with a combustible.

They do crack over time, and small (less then 1/8") cracks are not real problems and can be repaired with refractory cement if they get larger. They usually recommend that the first few fire be very tiny (kindling only) to "cure" or break in the liners.

Norman D. from Garner NC asked:

Do the unvented natural gas fireplaces radiate heat without a blower? Model VD1824NR LVD18GO, LVD18TB, LVD18CH.

Because these are unvented units, you are not losing any of the heat produced, so they will radiate quite a lot without blowers. A blower on an unvented unit is still a good addition if you are putting this in an area with an open floor plan as it will help circulate the heat throughout.

Ruth from Redmond, OR asked:

How do I remove the glass front so I can clean the glass and fix the logs inside?

While the procedure differs from manufacturer to manufacturer, the general idea is the same for each direct vent unit. The upper and/or lower edge of the glass should have 2 to 3 clasps. These clasps are sometimes hidden behind the upper or lower louvers that most units have. Some of the clasps are spring type and only require that you pull them forward to open them. Others are bolt type and require that you loosen the bolts until the clasps drop out of the way. Once the clasps are loose, the glass can be removed. Some units will have clasps on the top and bottom, but others will only have them on the bottom, requiring you to tilt the glass outward and lift it off of an upper rail.
