With more and more people opting for the convenience and comfort of gas fireplaces, design and accessory choices too, have increased dramatically. Apart from gas log sets that imitate wood logs, there are different types of fire glass, fire balls, fire shapes and fire stones in myriad hues that give gas fireplaces a stylish and futuristic appearance. As a result, even the humble burner’s status has been elevated from a simple fireplace component to a vital accessory-enhancing gizmo.
The correct choice of burner for your fireplace and the spacing of the gas holes in them are essential for getting the type of flames you want - neatly and evenly distributed or more natural looking.
Fireplace burners are usually made of stainless steel and come in various shapes and sizes. There are pipe-style burners, H-shaped burners, ring burners, pan burners, basket burners and linear burners. Some burners like the pipe-type are best suited for square or rectangular fireplaces, while others like pan burners and the H-style and are excellent for glass applications and the linear type for long shapes.
During installation, the burner should be accurately centered. In addition, there should be three or more inches of space between the left and right side of the burner and the inside of your fireplace to prevent streaking on your fireplace walls.
Prices of fireplace burners range from a little over $50 for a twelve inch pipe-style burner to over a $1,000 for a large, sixty inch pan burner. Principal gas fireplace burner manufacturers in the United States are mainly located in California. They include American Fireglass in Lake Elsinore, BlazingGlass in Newport Coast, Aquatic Glassel in Rancho Cucamonga, Exotic Flames, in Orange County, California, and Real Fyre in City of Industry.
Now that fireplace burners have become state-of-the-art with a vast range of design and price options, choosing the perfect fireplace is no longer as simple as you think!
