Default Vented versus vent-free gas logs??

Just a citizen . . . wrote:
We have a standard fireplace with a flue - we've never used in 5 years we've
lived in this house - now my girlfriend wants gas logs after our friends got
them - "they look so cozy" - so now I'm looking at the gas log sets - the
vent free sets provide decent heat AND I don't have to worry about
remembering to open and close the flue - the vented sets probably run more
heat up the flue than they provide in the room AND I have to open and close
the flue.

Pricing looks similar - why not go with the vent-free logs? Thanks!


Hmmm,
What I have is direct vent gas fire place with temp. controlled fan.
Vent free? How can anything burn w/o venting?
