I do not have glas doors, it's a metal chain like curtain. I don't know anything about fireplaces but it looks like a woodburning, just with gas. I have a full chimney if that makes ant since. Some one told me to look up the flue to see if It goes all the way up or not, what I saw was .......I don't know, about an 8" pipe that goes all the way up? Their is a gas shut off valve in the wall I have to turn on and of like a water faucet, The on and of switch itself is on the steel rack that the gas logs sit on.jtp10181 said:I googled that fireplace and I think it might actually be a wood unit. CFK might just have gas logs in it?
Does it have a sealed glass door or bifold doors you can open? Do you turn the fireplace on with a switch or the little knob inside the firebox?
jtp10181 said:One big thing to look for is the damper... make sure it is still there. In some areas it is required to remove it when installing gas logs. If it is totally gone you would not be able to burn wood without repairing it somehow. There should be a round plate that can swivel back and forth using a rod hanging down or a handle in the front. It might be locked open right now because of the gas logs.
The inspector said it is a wood burning fireplace just with gas logs. So yes, I will use it as is.swestall said:So, are you going to install a stove or just burn in the unit as is?
