I see this in hotel lobbies all the time (open) and somehow never thought of it. Brilliant, thanks !

My home was totally electric (no natural gas service as I am in a rural area). I added gaslogs to 3 fireplaces (one each floor) and changed my cooktop and added a line to my grill. It was not too difficult to run the lines because I have an unfinished basement. My firelogs operate with a remote which turns them on and changes levels (low, med, high).

I run all mine off propane since I am a little off the grid. I had a huge tank buried in the back yard and filled it....and it is still almost full 4 years later.

Just make sure you get the right gas log (the orifices are not the same size). I figured out what I wanted and waited till it was warm out and they were on clearance at 75% off. Since I bought 3 very nice ones, it saved me big. Apparently some folks sell all the leftovers off cheap at the end of the season because they need the space for summer sales.
