First off, I have an unusual situation. I have a gas long vented fireplace. The logs put out a pitiful flame. The unit is five years old. I have detached the gas line and blew air through it.
We have the whole family arriving for Thanksgiving from different states and I would very much like to have a nice looking fire. In all honestly I do not need massive heat. This is more for asthetics.
I am looking at two options.
I am including a series of pics if that could be any help. You can see the flame from original fireplace pick as well as a pic from the internet that seems what I need. Also, any recommendations for logs, etc. would be appreciated. Finally, I am a total novice in this. THANK YOU!

I am looking at two options.
- Way better looking logs that put out better flame.
- A bed of stones glowing. I think I need to buy a “pan” with that.
