My model number is Temco model TFC42-4. Does anyone know what kind of logs can go in this model?

Does your owner's manual approve of gas logs in this unit?

I don’t have a manual but it has a label that talks about using unvented gas logs and how many btu’s

However it says I have to use temco products and wanted to see if anyone knows if you can use different logs

Then that;s what you HAVE to use.
If you convert this to gas, it has to be inspected by a certified inspector.
The manual is the bible.

Thank you for the article put I’m finding it hard to locate temco gas logs bc they went out of business. Did someone buy the company out?

Hmmm...Could be a problem.
I think I would call your local hearth shop & tell them what you want to do.
If they will install logs from a different manufacturer, then you are probably OK.
They should also know if a code inspector will approve...
