Real Fyre Charred American Oak: deeply charred logs for a vented fireplace
The Real Fyre Charred American Oak is a vented gas log set. The logs copy American oak that has already burned for hours. Cracked bark and split grain give the room a wood fire look. 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 burner. The choices are the G45, the G45 in stainless steel for an outdoor fireplace, or the G46, which hides its controls. 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
What makes the Charred American Oak look genuinely burnt?
Real Fyre sculptors work from actual samples of charred American oak, carrying the fissured bark, ember-scarred undersides and split-grain detail into refractory ceramic. That detailing is fired into the surface rather than sprayed on, which is why the CHAO reads as real wood mid-burn. It anchors the vented Charred Series collection.
Which burner platforms accept the CHAO stack?
Four vented options: the G4, the G45, the G45 in stainless steel, and the G46. Your installer sizes the burner to the firebox, and it arrives factory-configured for natural gas or propane – that fuel choice is made at purchase, not converted later in the field.
How many sizes does the CHAO come in?
Three: an 18/20-inch flex size, a 24-inch, and a 30-inch, which covers the common range of masonry and prefab fireboxes. If your opening measures between two of those sizes, take the smaller set so the logs keep proper clearance around the burner.
Is there a wrong way to arrange these logs?
Yes – placement is engineered, not decorative. Each CHAO log has a designed position shown in the stacking diagram, keeping ceramic clear of the direct flame path. Logs shifted off their marks can soot or wear prematurely, so restore the arrangement exactly after any cleaning or curious guests.
What material is the Charred American Oak cast from?
The CHAO is cast in superior refractory ceramic that keeps its strength at high temperatures, with a steel reinforcement rod inside each log. The bark texture is taken from real wood, and the ceramic mass radiates warmth while the fire runs and keeps radiating after it shuts off.
How long should a set like this last?
Many seasons. Because a vented gas flame never consumes the logs the way fire eats firewood, the refractory ceramic and internal steel rods in the CHAO simply endure heat cycles. Gentle annual dusting and correct log placement are what stretch its service life the furthest.
Do I have to buy a remote with this set?
No. Remotes are one option among the controls specified with your burner – match-lit and standing-pilot valves run the CHAO with no electronics at all. Choose remote or wall-switch operation at purchase if you want it; nothing about the log set itself requires one.
