- BACK TO PETERSON GAS LOGS
There are two types of gas logs, Liquid Propane and Natural Gas:
- Liquid Propane (LP) gas contains more carbon than natural gas and
burns nearly three times hotter. LP Gas comes from a tank positioned outside
your home.
- Natural gas is a lighter-than-air gas that dissipates when released
into the air. It does not burn as hot as other gases, but it costs much
less. It must be hard-piped to an appliance from buried gas service lines.
If you have a natural gas water heater, oven, clothes dryer or other gas
appliance, you probably would choose to add a natural gas log set since that is
what you're already set up for. If you do not have natural gas service, check
with your local natural gas company before purchasing a log set. If natural gas
service is not available in your area, you'll need LP gas logs.
A check of your local Yellow Pages should yield information about LP gas
dealers. If you choose LP gas, a tank will be installed at your home, and you
will contract with a dealer to have the gas tank refilled.
