Oh boy, How am I going to convinced a bunch of old farts that we need to vent the gas logs outside? I can't open the flue as the fireplace log installer sealed it shut and insulated it. Also I wanted to put in a high efficiency boiler system. The installer says you can't vent it up the existing chimney as the gas is caustic to the masonry. The association refused to have me vent it out the side of the unit as requested by the boiler installer.
I do have a carbon monoxide sensor in the same room as the gas logs. I never heard it go off.
