Vented vs. Vent-Free Fireballs: Which is Right for You?

Vented vs. Vent-Free Fireballs: Which is Right for You?

Modern Fire Features for Any Fireplace

Fireballs offer a sleek, contemporary alternative to traditional gas logs. Whether you’re designing an indoor or outdoor fireplace, choosing between vented and vent-free fireballs impacts flame style, efficiency, and installation needs.

Vented Fireballs

  1. Larger, more natural flames with a realistic, flickering effect
  2. Requires a chimney or venting system
  3. Less heat efficiency (some heat escapes through the vent)

Vent-Free Fireballs

  1. Higher heat efficiency—nearly all warmth stays in the room
  2. No chimney or vent required for easy installation
  3. Smaller, more controlled flames
