Paso Robles, CA (PRWEB) April 2, 2008 -- Recent reports show moving away from wood-burning fireplaces improves air quality.

FireCrystals® are a direct replacement for gas logs or wood in natural gas fireplaces and fire pits and provide as much heat to the room as burning wood. FireCrystals® dramatically improves indoor and outdoor air quality when compared to burning wood because the crystals are heated, they do not burn, they do not release any fine particulate matter, i.e., soot or ash, to the surrounding environment.
