Real Fyre Charred Cinder Birch: a vented gas log set with white bark and deep char
The Real Fyre Charred Cinder Birch is a vented gas log set. It copies mountain birch with white bark, burned deep into the evening. Exposed embers, chunks of char, and black embers give the logs a burned through 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, 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 is the Charred Cinder Collection about?
It is the headliner of Real Fyre’s Premier Series: a dramatic fire presentation built on exposed embers, decor chunks, and a mature burned-through look, finished with black embers. The CNDB brings that treatment to a natural Mountain Birch style, so you get white-bark birch character rendered as a fire deep into its evening.
Is the Charred Cinder Birch vented or vent-free?
Vented. The CNDB pairs with vented burner systems, ships under the Real Fyre vented catalog, and runs with the fireplace damper open like any vented set. That means realistic open flame with exhaust going up the flue; it is not a closed-damper vent-free heater and must never be operated without a working flue.
What sizes does the Charred Cinder Birch offer?
Three: 18, 24, and 30 inches, as CNDB-18, CNDB-24, and CNDB-30. That covers most standard fireboxes; take front-width, back-width, and depth measurements before ordering and step down a size if your opening falls between two. The burned-through styling reads especially well at the larger sizes, where the ember detail spreads out.
Which burner systems does the CNDB take?
The spec sheet lists the G45 burner system, its stainless steel version, and the G46, all vented platforms available in natural gas or propane and chosen at purchase. The product description also references G4 compatibility, so if you already own a burner, confirm your exact pairing with us at order time.
I have a vented fireplace. Should I be shopping vent-free instead?
Not necessarily. A vented firebox is the natural home for a vented set like the CNDB, which is built for open-damper burning, and the Charred Series exists for exactly that installation. Vent-free sets can legally go into vented fireplaces where codes allow, but you would trade this collection’s dramatic open flame for heater-style operation.
How do you maintain a set with all these embers and chunks?
Same ceramic care, slightly more pieces. With everything off and cool, brush dust from the CNDB logs, decor chunks, and ember bed with a soft brush, keeping each element in its documented position afterward. No liquids or cleaners on painted surfaces, and follow the Charred Cinder log stacking guide when anything gets moved.
Are the embers and chunks ceramic too?
Yes, the whole presentation is engineered: refractory ceramic logs with steel reinforcement rods, plus the decor chunks and black embers that give the CNDB its burned-through depth. The materials hold their strength at high temperatures and radiate warmth, so the glowing-coals look renews every night without anything actually being consumed.
