The size of the burner BTU output will determine the heating capabilities of the appliance, not the log size.

We can only turn the flame to low on our ventless gas firelogs and it is still too hot for our vaulted great room. Could the log set be too large for our fireplace?
We can only turn the flame to low on our ventless gas firelogs and it is still too hot for our vaulted great room. Could the log set be too large for our fireplace?
It very well could be too many BTU's for that area. As well, vent free logs are only meant to be run up to 4 hours at a time.
