A friend is getting rid of their B Vent Gas insert for free.
I don't want a B vent because of the gas back into the room problem. A Direct vent is too expensive ($2,500 +) and since I live in California, heating the room isn't a huge consideration. What we'd like is just the gas logs (we already have the gas line installed for our wood burning FP) and a glass front/screen for our existing wood burning FP.
I've checked out the prices for the gas attachment + the logs and it's about $500 PLUS the screen/glass doors is another $400-$700, which seems really high.
My questions is: Can I pull apart the B vent insert that my friend is giving away and just use the the logs out of it? What about the gas attachment itself? Are they usually removable i.e. could I also salvage that and then I've just have to buy the doors?
Thanks! Jerolyn
