Gas Log Lighters
A gas log lighter is a perforated pipe installed along the floor of your wood-burning firebox, connected to a small gas line. Turn the valve and hold a flame to it, and it ignites your firewood instantly — no kindling, newspaper, or fire-starting skill required.
Why Install a Gas Log Lighter
- Effortless fire starting — light your wood fire in seconds with the turn of a valve.
- No kindling or newspaper needed — skip the mess and hassle of traditional fire-starting methods.
- Works with wood-burning fireplaces — get the ambiance of a real wood fire with gas-assisted convenience.
- Safe, repeatable ignition — a consistent, controlled flame every time you use your fireplace.
What to Consider When Buying a Log Lighter
- Firebox width — choose a log lighter pipe sized to fit your firebox from side to side.
- Straight vs. Y-shaped pipes — Y-shaped lighters spread flame across a wider area for more even ignition.
- Natural gas vs. propane — confirm compatibility with your home's fuel source.
- Professional installation required — log lighters connect to a gas line and should be installed by a qualified technician.
