What To Buy - Real Fireplace or One with Gas Fireplace Parts?

Steve grew up in the rural farm lands of Louisiana. Traditional fireplaces burning real logs and "real fire" were part of his heritage and the use of fireplaces with gas fireplace parts "were for city folks".  Steve remembers working on the farm and one of the tasks in the summer being finding, cutting, splitting and stacking wood to burn in the fireplace during the upcoming winter. Some of his high school friends used to laugh and playfully make fun - "get with the times, get a fireplace with gas fireplace parts."  Though the thought of never having to split another log or spend another day stacking wood in the summer heat appealed to Steve, he just couldn't bear the thought of not having that wood smoke smell and "real" fireplace in his house. Fireplaces with gas fireplace parts were just a distant thought egged on only by others.

As time passed Steve left the farm and moved to another state and actually moved in the city. Most of the homes in his neighborhood were cookie cutter built and had fireplaces with gas fireplace parts as opposed to "real fireplaces".  The home he bought was no different and he began using this new form of fireplace.  Steve soon learned that many of the gas fireplace parts in his fireplace had a look and feel like his old fireplace back on the farm. With a gas fireplace blower, heat was exchanged even better than his old traditional fireplace and his old ideas about traditional fireplaces over those with gas fireplace parts were slowly eroding away.

As with Steve, many people are changing their ideas about the traditional fireplace. The obvious issues like fire hazards, ash mess and having to get and store logs are no longer problems with fireplaces using gas fireplace parts. One can now purchase logs that look extremely real and even material that burns like ash and embers without the mess.
