Bubba's point is well taken. I removed regular gas logs and replaced them
with the "ventless". After about an hour of operation the smoke/fire alarm
in the room (great room, 500+ ft/sq) alarms. Not the new wearing off the
logs, either. I've tried it a few times when power was lost.
So.... there's something in the air and it and Christmas.
If I had it to do over I'd have the original logs and more money in my
pocket.

I put a vent-free propane fireplace in my 400 sq ft sunroom. I also
installed a smoke and CO detector in there.
It's been there for 2-1/2 winters and no alarm for either smoke or CO.
It does put a hazy film on the window glass though.
