Abstract: Decorative gas appliances have been utilized in the Gas Industry for many years. Normally, they have consisted of vented fireplace inserts, gas log sets, vemed free-standing gas fireplaces, and gas-fired coal baskets. Because of new EPA regulations concerning emission standards for wood-burning stoves and fireplaces and increasing pressure in the environmental area for control of wood-burning emissions, the consumer demand for gas-burning decorative appliances has increased dramatically. This increased demand by consumers represents a unique marketing opportunity for the Gas Industry but has resulted in major areas of concern. The foremost concern represented by interested parties was the issue of the yellow-flame burner characteristics desired by the consumers that more realistically simulated burning wood. To address this issue, the Gas Industry, represented by manufacturers, utilities, code agencies, testing labs, and researchers, joined together in an attempt to resolve these concerns.
