We've recently moved into a new rental home which has a fireplace. It's a basic fireplace with a flume and a gas line. There are individual gas logs on a grate covering the gas line. After removing some cobwebs, and opening the vent, I turned the gas flow on, and used a match to light the fire. Everything was fine. Although the fire was visible, it did not produce much heat. Standing 1 foot away, you could not even tell there was a fire. Any suggestions in arranging the individual logs to keep some heat in the house rather than it going out the flume. As I wrote earlier, this is a basic fireplace. There is no air circulation unit within the fireplace. Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated!!
