Monessen Berkley Oak Fiber Ceramic: glowing oak logs for your existing fireplace
The Monessen Berkley Oak Fiber Ceramic is a vent free gas log set for the fireplace you already have. It comes 18, 24, or 30 inches wide. Pick the size on the page. The ceramic fiber oak logs glow along with the flames. The black Natural Blaze burner makes tall yellow flames over a glowing ember bed. It puts out up to 37,000 BTU to warm your room. It is dual rated, so it can also go in a vented fireplace with the damper open.
The price is for the logs. The burner is a required pick on the page, in millivolt or IPI. Order it for natural gas or propane. Vent free means it needs no chimney or vent pipe at all, and nearly all the heat stays in the room. Check your local code first, since some areas restrict vent free heaters. Millivolt means it has a standing pilot and needs no electricity, so it keeps working when the power is out. IPI means intermittent pilot ignition: it lights the pilot only when you turn the fire on, so no gas burns while the fire is off. Pick one on the page. On the page you pick the size, the fuel, and the burner ignition. You can add a hand held on and off remote or a touchscreen remote. Prefer sharper log detail without the glow? See the Monessen Berkley Oak Refractory gas log set. The Monessen Berkley Oak Fiber Ceramic ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
Why do ceramic fiber gas logs glow like real embers?
The glow comes from the material itself. Ceramic fiber is what Monessen uses when it wants logs that light up with the fire – the company describes them as durable, glowing logs that are a stunning replica of a real wood fire. Instead of just being lit by the flames, the logs themselves take on a glow, which is what sells the illusion of burning wood.
Berkley Oak comes in refractory or fiber ceramic – which should I order?
Specs will not decide it for you – sizes, BTU ratings, burner, and ignition options are identical across both versions. The real question is the fire you want to look at. Fiber ceramic gives you durable logs that glow along with the flames; refractory trades that glow for cast detail. Compare both styles of gas fireplace logs and choose on character, not numbers.
How big an opening does the 18-inch set need?
Less than you might expect. The 18-inch set needs a minimum opening of just 26 inches of front width, 17 inches of height, and 13 inches of depth. Even the 30-inch version asks for only 33 inches of front width at that same 13-inch depth, so the whole range stays friendly to smaller and shallower fireplace openings.
Why choose the 30-inch set if the 24 heats the same?
Scale, not output. Both carry the same 37,000 BTU natural gas rating, so the 30-inch does not heat harder – it fills more of the firebox. In a wide opening, a longer stack looks proportionate where a smaller set can float in empty space. Buy the 30 for presence in a large fireplace; buy the 24 when the opening is more modest.
Does the burner show once the logs are stacked on it?
Barely. The burner is finished in sleek black specifically so it blends into the hearth, and the fire happens above it, so attention stays on the flames rather than the hardware underneath. The set is also remote ready, meaning the controls do not have to intrude on the scene either – operation can happen from across the room.
What does IntelliFire Plus ignition add to a log set?
IntelliFire Plus is the intermittent pilot option on this set. It monitors safe performance while the fire runs, saves fuel, and lets you program memory settings so the fire returns to your preferred operation. It is worth considering if you plan to use the fire often; the alternative is a straightforward millivolt system for those who prefer simplicity.
What creates the glowing ember bed beneath the logs?
That is the Natural Blaze burner at work. Monessen’s exclusive burner technology pairs the flame display with an active ember bed, so a layer of glowing embers sits under the stack while flames move through the logs above. Combined with logs that glow themselves, the effect is a fire that looks fully established from the first minute.

What Our Customers Say
D
A sauna turns your garden into a spa oasis. We debated it for a while, but after renovating our house, we pulled the trigger and bought a sauna from Norse Steam and Maya. She was always super responsive and helpful throughout the process. Don't kid yourself, getting a really nice sauna is not that easy. Sizing and heating need to be figured out, as does the building, but we have always had a helpful partner on our side. She never upsold us on anything we didn't need, and we got some nice freebies when the sauna was delivered. And now we can really enjoy every moment in our garden.
KF
I'm really happy with my sauna purchase. Maya gave above and beyond excellent customer service. She wasn't pushy and gave impressive followup after the delivery to make sure everything was just right.
DE
I enjoy my FD2 Sauna with Red Light, Infrared and radiant heat. Use it 5x a week and my post workout soreness is minimal and sleep great. Maya at Norse Steam was excellent to work with.
B
We purchased the 3-person sauna for our outdoor garden. We chose the cube sauna for the aesthetic and could not be happier.
I assembled by myself except for the 2 large panels (requires a few people). Instructions were good - took me two partial Saturdays to complete and a few hours to unpack and organize in advance of assembly. Had my elec. add a NEMA enclosure on the back for the controller and power for lights and a 2nd panel for the wireless control.
Customer service was excellent
MP
Awesome Sauna and Awesome Company and Experience purchasing it from Maya!
After much research I chose the Finnmark FD-2 and it has met and exceeded all my expectations! Easy to assemble and it functions great - just as advertised. I highly recommend it for home use!
EA
Recently purchased the Finnmark one person after much research. Extremely happy with it and the ordering process. Maya was very responsive and helpful during the process and keeping us updated while we waited for shipment. There were several places I could have ordered this, but i chose Norse Steam based on the communication and customer service which was fantastic. The shipment was also excellent. The setup was pretty seamless for two people - but the best part is the sauna experience 10/10

Maya is amazing - super helpful and responsive. Looked at many stores, these guys have the best prices and service. Highly recommend
GR
Norse Steam, and specifically Maya, were extremely helpful as I was making the decision for our Sauna. I was able to get all of the necessary details to make a decision as construction was happening in my backyard to make space for it.
We absolutely love the CL7G. It is extremely comfortable for 6 people (can fit more less comfortably). The Thermory Spruce and Aspen in the interior smells great. The lighting is lovely. We paired the CL7G with the Harvia Spirit 10.5kw.
RS
Had great experience shopping at Norse Steam for the new heater. They had very good deal, with rocks. Customer service was good, and responded very fast with my questions. Received the heater, and it looks good, and the quality seem to be great. Will install soon, and am very excited to start experiencing sauna the way it ment to be

Smoking Hot Tub!
I got the Norse Steam SaunaLife wood-fired hot tub, the S4N model, and its been seriously great. It heats up quicker than I expected, usually around an hour and a half, and once its hot, it stays that way for a good long while. The wood-fired system is simple to use, and honestly kind of fun.
The tub itself feels solid and well put together. The thermo-spruce exterior looks beautiful in person, and the fiberglass interior is smooth, deep, and easy to clean. Its the kind of setup that just works without a bunch of fuss, which I really appreciate.
Also, the team at Norse Steam was genuinely great to work with. Super helpful, quick to respond, and made the process really easy from start to finish. It felt like they actually cared that I was happy with it. The tub has totally become a go-to way to unwind, and I wouldnt change a thing.

Great Sauna & Purchase Experience
Great experience purchasing Finnmark FD-2 from Norse Steam. Good communication and easy to assemble. Temperature increases quickly (30 minutes or less to 140) and maintains well. So far this has been a great purchase.
M
Great sauna and great customer service
We purchased the Finnmark SD-1 sauna. Maya was extremely helpful with the purchase. We had an issue with the sauna not reaching the maximum temperature, and Maya connected us with the appropriate technician that explained how to correct the issue. The sauna now heats to the maximum temperature (170 degrees) in less than an hour, and it is a great unit. We are very happy with it, and we would definitely purchase from NorseSteam if we needed any other items.

Sauna Review
I recently purchased a sauna from Norse Steam, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional, and Maya deserves special recognition for her outstanding support!
Maya was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, answering all my questions about the sauna features, installation process, and maintenance. She went above and beyond to ensure I selected the perfect model for my home. Even after the purchase, Maya followed up to make sure everything was running smoothly and that I was satisfied with my sauna.
The sauna itself is top-notch beautifully designed, durable, and easy to use. It's clear that Norse Steam takes pride in the quality of their products and their commitment to customer satisfaction.
If you're considering a sauna, I wholeheartedly recommend Norse Steam. With their excellent customer service and high-quality products, you're in great hands. Thank you, Maya, and the entire Norse Steam team for a fantastic experience!
