Gas fireplaces from Bowden’s Fireside provide the warmth, and much of the feel, of more traditional fireplaces, with much fewer hassles. Because they use gas, there is no need to go through all the labors of splitting, storing and transporting wood. Also, since gas does not produce any soot or dirt wood, they do not need to be cleaned after being used.
They are also simple to install. As many can be installed with just than a slight hole in a wall for exterior venting, they are about the easiest fireplace to set up. They normally come with ceramic logs that closely resemble real logs burning. While this is not for everyone, many people are willing to sacrifice some of the realism of a traditional fireplace for the convenience of a gas fireplace in busy times.
For people who want the real deal, only a traditional fireplace will do. For them, nothing matches the feeling of watching real logs burning in a fireplace, and charm and appeal that comes with it. Traditional fireplaces are usually made from brick, marble or stone, and the openings of these fireplaces are covered with glass or metal screens.
These fireplaces can be expensive to install and may take up a considerable amount of space. However, they have have the advantage of not using fossil fuels. For those with access to plentiful supplies of wood, they can be a great way to save money.
Cast iron fireplaces are able to be used as inserts in traditional fireplaces or stand alone fireplaces.
