Collection
A gas log set turns an existing fireplace into a gas fire. Hand-painted ceramic logs sit over a burner in the firebox, so the room keeps its original hearth while the fire lights from a match, a pilot or a remote.
Two kinds are listed here. Vented sets, such as Rugged Split Oak, White Birch, Rustic Oak Designer and Mountain Birch, burn in a working wood-burning fireplace with the damper open and are chosen mainly for the look of the flame. The vent-free Charred Frontier Oak burns without a flue and is limited by local rules and by the room it sits in. Either way, the set is matched to a specific burner, fuel and fireplace size, so measurements come first.
Every set publishes minimum front width, back width, depth and height. Real Fyre's 18-inch vented sets start around 30 inches across the front and the 30-inch sets need about 38 inches. If your opening is close to the minimum, the smaller set is the safer choice.
A set is sold with a specific burner — the G45 Triple Burner on the vented sets here, the G10 system on the vent-free Charred Frontier Oak — and is configured for a particular gas type. Confirm both before ordering.
Control options run from match light through a manual pilot to on/off and variable remotes. Not every option is offered on every set or size, and the packaged contents differ by configuration.
Brown Chimney can assess what a fireplace would need in your home — the opening, the chimney or venting route, and what work is involved. Service availability depends on your location.
A log set sits inside the existing firebox and is chosen mainly for the appearance of the fire. An insert is a sealed appliance fitted into the fireplace and built to heat the room. The two are installed and vented differently.
Vented sets burn in a working wood-burning fireplace with the damper open, so the flame looks closest to a wood fire and most of the heat goes up the chimney. Vent-free sets burn without a flue and are subject to local rules, so check what is allowed at the property.
Front width, back width, depth and height of the firebox opening, plus the gas type at the property. Compare those against the minimum dimensions published for the size you want.
