Log Set for Heat N Glo Dakota 42

[drheams]

Hello,
I recently bought a Dakota 42 fireplace that has no log set or burner and I'm trying to work out what type of log to install in it. Am I able to use a third party log such as RH Peterson or Hargrove or do I have to find the original Heat N Glo log set that came with the unit? The interior valve and all other parts are missing so I would need the entire setup but I'm not sure this is necessary.

Thanks for your help

Why do you not have the entire fireplace? Did you buy this used? You should hire a pro familiar with this fireplace to plan its installation in your patio and install it. Note that is an outdoor fireplace.

You can contact your nearest FireSide Hearth & Home for support as they are owned by the patent company that owns HNG.

Thanks for the reply Hearthman. I bought this from a company that was closing a showroom so this was setup just for display and has no valve / log / etc. Its setup in a masonry enclosure and is meant to be outside but I just need to install a log. I've talked to multiple dealers but get different responses depending on what they want to sell and install. I'm trying to save where I can but need to make sure I'm not causing any safety issues. Do you see a reason why I shouldn't use an RH Peterson log in this application?

Thanks
