The main advantage to using ceramic logs in your fireplace is never needing to replace the logs. There is no mess associated with turning on your fireplace. Ceramic logs are built to last, but care is needed to avoid damage, and regular brushing off of soot build-up is recommended. Without damage, ceramic logs never need replacement.

On the Other: Damaged or Unsightly

If your ceramic logs get damaged, or if you have never cleaned them after years of usage, replacement logs may be necessary. It's best to purchase replacement logs from the same manufacturer who knows your specific fireplace model, as not all ceramic log replacements are suitable for every fireplace. If the wrong model is purchased, it can cause a fire, or expose the house to carbon monoxide.

Bottom Line

Take proper care of ceramic logs in your fireplace and replacement will never be necessary. Use a brush with metal wires to gently brush off soot build-up, but never use a water or rub with a cloth. If your ceramic log set gets damaged, hire a professional to assess whether or not you need a replacement, and trust their expertise to order you a new set of ceramic logs.
