Gel Fireplace Logs for a More Realistic Feel

Because they do not require special lines for gas and electrical wiring, many gel-based fireplaces can be moved from one home to another. So when people transfer homes, they get to bring their very own fireplaces. The fuel is mainly made up of a certain bio ethanol which is then mixed with a special thickener to produce the consistency of a gel. They are then stored in canisters which can be easily purchased at any home improvement store or supermarket. Each canister can burn without producing smoke or fumes and can even last for up to three to four hours of continued use.
Though gel fireplaces may seem very different in terms of construction and design, it doesn’t mean that they also function in a different way. These fireplaces are basically patterned according to the main function of traditional ones which is to warm a living space up to a comfortable level. Hence, many consumers prefer them a lot compared to traditional ones because of its blend of characteristics that combine the advantages of traditional and modern types.  The gel fireplace logs are even designed and made in a way that they look very real to traditional firewood logs except that they do not burn and turn to ashes.
Gel fireplace logs are a very important part of gel-fueled fireplaces. Without them, a fireplace would look very unnatural and tacky while the canisters burn inside it. So, for a more realistic feel, very gel-fueled fireplace should have inserts that comes with realistic looking logs that can tolerate certain amount of heat over a period of time. And just like gel-based fuels, these ceramic logs are also very safe for the environment and for use.
These inserts that come with realistic looking “wood” can be purchased at any home store. There are so many varieties to choose from ranging from modern to classic designs. An entire set usually come with at least six ceramic woods that seems very real, lava rocks, metal grates, and pans to hold the fuel canisters.
