What's the story on these ventless fireplaces, apparently they burn a gel? How can a burning flame of any kind not produce combustion gasses? Here's something on them

Conarb - The link goes to a story on gas-log fireplaces, LP or natural gas. Properly burning LP or natural gas produces CO2 and water vapor only. CO is only a problem when the gas is not being burned completely, so maintenance is THE issue to be dealt with. Same could be said for any fuel fired appliance. The unvented units, I believe, are required to have the oxygen depletion sensors to be considered compliant.
