Default Gas fireplace
On the rear porch here in Florida there are 2 gas fireplaces and NOTHING protecting the front. Meaning that no chain screens, no glass doors...nothing. Can someone direct me into finding out what should/must be installed. THis appears to be very unsafe but I cannot specifically find where it states that a screen or glass door must protect the gas fireplace opening. Thanks in advance.....Russell

Check the manufacturer's instructions for the FP or gas log set.

The damper should be blocked open or there should be a knockout in the damper so no matter what the flue is open.
