Gas log sizes
When it comes to gas logs, size matters. Obviously, the size of the fireplace or firebox will determine the size of the log. It's important to measure your firebox to make sure any equipment you buy will fit in your space. Before buying, be sure to check the size of the set you are interested in purchasing.
Gas log style
Once you've determined the above factors, the next step is to determine the look and overall ambience you want your new fireplace to provide your home. While choosing "more charred" logs versus "less charred" may seem silly or unnecessary, it's an important part of the process. There are many factors to consider when choosing a realistic gas log set for your home, from the type of "wood" to how the logs are placed. You can have a lot of fun along the way and choose from "wood" types like oak and driftwood, as well as a variety of log layouts.
About appearance
You want your gas fireplace to look as natural as possible. Fortunately, there are plenty of realistic models to choose from, and ultimately, it will come down to your personal preferences and the atmosphere you want to create in your home. Some sets come with "add-ons" such as pebbles, glowing embers, or fire balls. Keep in mind that some units are beautifully designed to be viewed from all angles and work especially well in see-through fire boxes, so gas log placement is also important.
