These flames would certainly not provide the same cozy feeling as a traditional wood fire. That's where the ceramic logs come into play; they are placed on top of the burner and when the gas is ignited, the flames coil around and between the logs. This creates an illusion of a naturally burning fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe blocks also store heat and gradually distribute it in the room, allowing you to enjoy pleasant warmth even after the fireplace has been turned off. The realistic look is enhanced by the fact that some ceramic blocks are hand-painted with details that resemble real ash or charred wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn addition, ceramic logs require little maintenance compared to real logs.
