The previous owners of my home had gas logs installed in the wood burning fireplace. I don't want gas logs. It's not that I want to convert it back to wood buring right now either, I just don't want anything in there. The gas company has already removed the gas tank so there is no gas at all coming into my home. But there are "logs" sitting in the fireplace. Can I just unscrew a line and pick them up and out of the fireplace? (sounds too easy!) But then will there be a pipe/line dangling in the fireplace? I am not insterested in burning anything in the fireplace right now, I just want it empty. Thanks!

yes just unscrew the pipe then take out the log set BUT THEN...u can still remove that other gas line coming into ur fireplace as long as the installer did it correctly and sleeved ur gas line.......see if that line goes thru a little bit larger line and if it does just pull out the smaller line from one side or the other then just caulk the whole and there ya go

Unscrew the pipe and pull them out. I installed gas logs in my fireplace. I converted the gas device that was in there to help start the wood to burn. Since you no longer have the gas tank at the house, there shouldn't be a problem. However when you pull it out, I would still cap the pipe just to seal it off. You never know when you will want to add a log starter or even go back to the gas logs.

yes you just unscrew line and then cap it the only way to get the pipe out of your fireplace is to bust the concrete
