Recommendation for gas inserts?
Is it possible to add a blower to this natural gas fireplace?
Can I add a blower to my gas fireplace?
No you cannot. That’s a gas logset installed in a wood burning fireplace. If you place a blower behind the gas logset then you’ll be pushing exhaust fumes into the room and it could kill you.
The type of fireplace you have is largely cosmetic and designed to be decorative. If you really want some heat output then you should consult a fireplace shop about installing a gas insert into your fireplace.

Hello fellow Piros! I’m hoping you might steer me towards a natural gas insert I can install or have installed into an old brick surround fireplace that’s missing a damper. The opening is 33x31 and there’s a wood mantel about 6 + inches away, all the way around. The fireplace is located on the first floor of a 2 1/2 story duplex. The chimney has been repointed recently and there’s a cap installed. It’s about 35’ high and would need pipe staging or a lift for access. My bil is a plumber and will install the gas supply and shutoff per manufacturer’s specs. So, my questions are… What brands offer a great look, dependablity, easy to operate and are reasonably priced? Do I need a 110v receptacle or pig tail? If so, where? A fan for heat is not necessary. How should it be vented? Can it go out the back of the chimney directly or up a 30’ flue? Ventless if safe seems fine, too. Does anyone have an opinion on locating a wide screen above the mantelpiece? Does the radiant heat effect the electronics? Do you think a tv above the fireplace detracts from the focal point of the room? I appreciate your thoughts! TIA
