The burner installed easily, and burns evenly and well. I would prefer the control to be on the side(out of sight) rather than in front, and the "rocks" that were designed to cover the front panel are ugly at best and were discarded. But otherwise, this is a really economical and attractive way to get a gas fireplace into the old wood burning box.

I received the product, put it together, and there were obvious differences between my unit and the picture. The most important difference is there is no fan. I talked to the manufacturer and they said they've asked Amazon to change the description, but it has yet to happen. There is a probe and dependant upon the distance it's placed from the heat source will determine when the unit will shut off. If you want to control the temp yourself with the knob on the front you can bury the probe under the small pebbles they provide to basically deactivate the probe. None of this is explained in the documentation. I'm giving three stars because the lady at the manufacturer was nice and I'm optimistic it will work fine this winter. That's really all I care about and I'll update the review this winter.

Update 8/9/12 After further investigation & communication with the manufacturer I've determined that this unit has no thermostatic control what so ever. It is totally manual and you control the temp with the knob on the front. It is not even the same part number. If you want thermostatic control you must go up to 24" and buy it at Home Depot. I'm just going to live with it because it's way too much hassle to return. The wizzard behind the curtain at Amazon is giving me a small credit for the mix up.

I've now used the product for a full winter season & it performed very well. We use it to supplement our central heat. In central Texas we get a lot of 30s in the morning & 70 in the afternoon weather. It takes the cold edge off in the morning w/o having to turn on the central heat. We use it a lot in the winter. I bought a 50 gal propane tank that when empty I can lift and transport myself to get it refilled. I guess all that really matters is whether or not it works for you and it does what we need it to do.

It works just fine.

I like, it doesnt have a termostat as many people believe it does.

It heats up my space very quickly.

IT uses propane at a faster rate than i would expect.

But that is not a problem, all the specifications are stated in description.

I would buy it again.

Honest reviews on Sure Heat Hand Painted Gas Log Sets For Vent Free Fire Places

I received the product and had our local propane company assemble and start the gas log set. The heat output was very good and quickly heated our family room. It wasn't long before we had to manually turn it off. It was advertised to have a built-in thermostat but this assembly did not have one. I re-packaged and shipped back and understand the re-shipping will be deducted from my return credit. Not a happy camper.

Although I am not convinced that ventless is all that safe (I use it with the flue open half-way)...it does create heat and it does have a very nice flame. For the price, it is worth it even though I really only use it for the ambiance. And the instructions are correct when they say there is an odor with the initial use. Most of the ventless sets I researched were 3X the cost....I am very happy I did not go the 700.00 route since I don't feel it is safe to use without venting it.
