Real Fyre Charred American Oak See Thru: a charred wood fire for two rooms
The Real Fyre Charred American Oak See Thru is a vented gas log set for a fireplace that opens into two rooms. It copies deeply charred American oak, with cracked bark and split grain. The logs look like wood that has already burned for hours. It is made for a see through fireplace, one that opens into two rooms, and the logs are finished on both sides so both rooms get the same fire. It is a vented set, so it needs a real fireplace with a working chimney and burns with the damper open. You get the tallest and most natural flames, and most of the heat goes up the chimney. It comes in 18, 20, 24, or 30 inch sets. Measure your firebox at the front, at the back, and front to back, and if you land between two sizes, take the smaller set.
Each log is molded from a real piece of wood, cast in a ceramic made for high heat with a steel rod inside, and painted by hand. The price is for the logs only. On the page you pick natural gas or propane and add the G45-2 see through burner, in plain or stainless steel. You also pick how it lights: by hand with a match on natural gas, with a knob and a pilot light that stays lit, or with a remote. A Fyreback, a steel panel that stands behind the fire, is optional.

FAQ
Why is the CHAO-2 a natural fit for a room-divider fireplace?
A fireplace set into a partition wall gets looked at from both rooms, so the CHAO-2 is finished as two fronts – charred American oak detail on each face, with no bare side to hide. That makes it the Charred Series answer for kitchens, dens and great rooms separated by a shared firebox.
What burner does a see-thru set require?
The CHAO-2 pairs exclusively with the G45-2 system, offered in standard or stainless steel. It spreads the fire across the full stack so neither opening gets the short end, something a standard one-face vented burner is simply not built to do. Fuel type is set at the factory.
Which firebox sizes does it cover?
Three set widths: 18/20, 24 and 30 inches. Measure the opening from each room, since dual-sided fireboxes are not always trimmed identically, and order to the smaller reading so the stack sits with breathing room. A code-compliant see-thru fireplace in that range will host the CHAO-2 comfortably.
Is this a vented or a ventless product?
Vented, all the way. The CHAO-2 burns with the damper open and sends combustion up the flue, buying the tall, loose flame that makes a two-sided display worth building. Ventless sets prioritize heat retention instead – a different product class with different hardware and different local codes.
Do gas logs need a screen in front of them?
With two open faces, the CHAO-2 doubles the usual argument for one. A mesh curtain or freestanding screen on each side keeps kids, pets and furnishings at a respectful distance from live flame. Screens are sold separately, and some local codes carry their own screening requirements worth checking.
Does a see-thru burner need electricity?
Not inherently. The G45-2 under the CHAO-2 can be ordered match-lit or with a standing pilot, both of which operate on gas pressure with zero household power. Only electronic-ignition and remote-control configurations lean on batteries or an outlet, so choose your valve with that in mind.
Is it normal to notice an odor from a two-sided gas fire?
Briefly, yes. New CHAO-2 ceramics cure during their first few burns and give off a faint manufacturing smell that the open flue carries away. Because a see-thru firebox drafts from two rooms, keep both openings unobstructed early on. Any persistent raw-gas odor means shut down and call your installer.
