I was very excited to find an alternative to burning logs or converting to gas logs. This is relatively easy to install. And it's not a permanent change. This set of logs is easy to pull out if we decide to do something different later. And the price for the logs is really good, compared a set of vent free gas logs.

I wish the instruction had said to install log #2 before log #1 (the small logs on top), as the logs don't fit exactly as they do in the picture. Maybe it's just my set, but try keeping the screws a little loose until you've got the logs all on and then tightening them up a little--but not too tight.

If you get really close to the logs and look into it you can see a little bit of the can. But sitting in the room five feet away they are not visible.

It appears that regardless of which site you buy this set, or the fuel from it ships from the manufacturer.

The places where the fuel cans go are square and a bit bigger than the cans, so if you're looking at using another brand of gel fuel you don't have to worry too much about an exact fit--you've got a little room to work with.

I think this is a great set for the price--if you're using them as the description states. That is, to convert an existing fireplace. If you're looking for something for a fire bowl they do make those, but this is not the right set.

Just as it states. Good flame lasts well over 3 hours. Looks great in the fireplace to set the mood for whatever you need. Better than having an unused fireplace, or making a huge mess!

I have had my gel firelogs for over a year now. I just pop in two cans of fuel gel and enjoy 3 hours of flames and it looks great. I do open the flu just a bit. Even when they aren't burning, the logs look nice. It is such a great product and so easy to use.

Honest reviews on Real Flame 18" Convert-to-Gel Log Set

How come "nature lovers" think it's cool to burn wood? Well when I found out how much harm I was doing to myself with indoor air pollution from my fireplace, and how cheap it was to convert, this was a no-brainer. I had the chimney swept, I ordered one of these, and Real Flame gel and away the smoke went forever. So if somebody gets snotty with you, just make a face and say "I don't allow smoking in the house."

The insert replaces the cradle for the wood logs in your fireplace, and may be used with the flue closed and the doors closed as long as you leave the openings at the bottom of the doors open so it can get some air. It lasts about and two hours in my experience. And it puts out some nice heat. Not a blast furnace, but you can feel it. Get some cans to burn in addition if you want extra heat. Any ex-wood fireplace should have room for you to burn some cans as well as these at the same time. At least mine does.

By the way, they've cleverly made the gel in such a way that it crackles like a real fire too!

Works perfectly and in some cases BETTER then gas. Alot less expensive option and with the gel cans it even sounds like the real thing. Would reccomend.
