[Shop-talk] Natural gas fireplace

[Eric J Russell]

We have a gas log 'fireplace' in our living room - sounds like what your 
parents have?

Most of the houses in our neighborhood have the same unit (same builder). 
One neighbor had a soot problem because the unit installed in their house 
had been set up for a different fuel. We have propane so I don't recall what 
the 'wrong' fuel was but that might be something to investigate.

FWIW, all the gas logs were 'professional installed', too...
