“If you’ve already got a perfectly good wood-burning fireplace that you’re not using, why not make use of that? You can get a simple set of electric logs that are designed to be tucked into an existing firebox. Unlike with a regular fireplace, where you have to haul in the wood, light the fire, and keep an eye on it until it goes out, electric logs work with a flip of a switch. True, they’re not as cool looking as the real thing, but there’s a lot to be said for convenience. And most electric logs can be moved if you want to build a real fire.
An example of some inexpensive, but still decent looking, logs is this set from Classic Home Elements. At about $150, they’re a lot cheaper than buying a whole electric fireplace (which includes mantle, surround, and all the stuff you don’t really need if you’ve got a fireplace already).
