Convert ventless fireplace to vented.

We have recently purchased a home that came with a ventless propane fireplace. The vent free fireplace can be used upstairs. The pictures below are of a self install almost gone bad. You can replace it.

Hi my parents are almost completed building their home and have had 2 ventless fireplaces installed. This is a ventless propane fireplace and if you look at the elbows in the first picture they drilled holes to get air into the burner. The air mixer venturi needs to be below the burn area where it can always receive fresh air and not in the burn area. At least you don t really convert an unvented fireplace.

Of course the proper operation and placement of the logs if logs are present is assumed. It s a good idea but it could cause more issues than you can imagine. Can you convert a ventless to a vented. The house is 1 finish on the floor and a couple of countertops short of being moved into so basically construction is completed.

Vented logs require your fireplace damper to always be open a certain amount so if you purchase them make sure to use a set of glass doors to help prevent heat loss. Every time we turn it on it smells terrible. A vented gas log set provides an attractive flame appearance while a ventless gas log set prioritizes heat in order to produce more warmth for your home. I have also read on these forums that ventless fireplaces are not all that safe.

Is there any way to convert either of these vent free to a vented or are there any other cost effective solutions available to them other than replacing either. If you have a universal unvented firebox with unvented logs where the firebox and logs are a la carte you could re use the logs in a wood burning vented fireplace.
