Step Four: Choose A burner that fits your gas logWhile gas logs beautify your fireplace, the burners are responsible for creating the ambiance and the mood with its dynamic dancing flames and realistic glowing embers. Note that some gas logs go only with a specific burner system. Vented BurnersG4With dancing flames and a glowing ember bed, this burner is by far the most common, and has compatibility with a wide range of log sets. G45The G45, or "Triple Burner", has an extra burner in the front and down the middle connecting the two. This accentuates the front flame and ember bed of the log set. G31This new Real Fyre three(3)-tiered burner system not only creates that high and full-bodied flame, it does so while using fewer BTU's than other systems.

G52The G52 Radiant Fyre features an exclusive stainless steel "booster grid" that acts as a catalyst to increase the intensity of the fire.

Vent-Free BurnersG8EThis burner is ideal for smaller places, and works with a designated log set named Valley Oak. This burner even includes a 9,500 BTU option which is perfect for bedrooms. G9This burner is designed to fit the traditional beauty of Golden Oak Designer or Split Oak Designer logs, which add to the elegant burn and dancing flames of the G9. G10Like Charred Logs but need Vent-Free? This burner is made to go specifically with Charred Frontier Oak and Charred Aged Split Oak. The lively flames and large ember bed highlight the logs. G18The G18 Burner is designed for use with the Evening Fyre Series, including Charred and Split. The hand-painted logs have a distinctive charring on the front log, and combined with the dramatic ember bed of the G18, it really mimics a wood fire. 
Step Five: Determine The Fuel Type!Gas Logs are available in two fuel types, Natural Gas and Liquid Propane. You may already have a line installed in the fireplace, in which case the gas you burn will be decided. If there is not a line, then you will have to decide what fuel type you would like to use. Step Six: How do you want to start and control your fire?Just like your TV, there is multiple options when it comes to starting and controlling your gas fire. There are three ways, Match Lit, Manual Safety Pilot, and Remote Control. MatchLitThis option is for natural gas only. There is no pilot, only the logs and burner. Your fire is lit by placing a match or lighter near the burner, then turning the gas with your key valve. You control your flame height using your key valve which is normally located outside the fireplace in either the wall or floor. Manual Safety pilotThis system has a safety pilot that is manually lit and stays lit at all time. Also called a standing pilot, it is similar to a pilot found in a water heater. You can turn the burner on and off manually by reaching inside your fireplace and turning the control knob. You cannot operate this type of system with a remote control, however, you can upgrade later. Remote ControlRemote control systems include a remote pilot valve assembly. Depending on the remote option you select, you will have the ability to control certain functions. The remote options are either a basic on/off control or a variable flame height control. Final Step: Additional accessoriesNow, it isn't completely necessary to add accessories, but why not turn your logs into something more?
