Real Fyre Charred Frontier Oak: vent free gas logs with a burned through front log
The Real Fyre Charred Frontier Oak is a vent free gas log set. Its rugged, weathered oak look has deep bark and heavy char for a rustic room. The front log is burned through, revealing the ember bed and glowing coals beneath it. It is vent free, which means the burner burns clean enough to run with the damper closed, so the heat stays in the room. It still goes inside a real fireplace, and vent free logs are not allowed everywhere, so check your local code first. It comes in 16, 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 G10 burner, plain or stainless steel. You also pick how it lights: with a manual control, with a remote that sets the flame height, or with that remote plus electronic ignition. A Fyreback, a steel panel that stands behind the fire, is optional. Prefer split oak? See the Real Fyre Charred Aged Split Oak vent free gas log set. The Real Fyre Charred Frontier Oak ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What look does the Charred Frontier Oak deliver?
Rugged, weathered oak, the kind of timber a frontier campfire would have chewed through. The CHFR logs carry deep bark texture and heavy char sculpting, and the whole stack sits over a large ember bed with Bryte Coals, so the fire looks well-established the moment you light it.
Can I put ventless logs into the fireplace I already have?
Usually, yes. The CHFR installs into an existing masonry or prefab fireplace with the gas line run by a qualified installer, and because it is vent-free you may keep the damper closed to hold heat in. Browse other ventless gas logs for size options, and verify local codes before committing, since some jurisdictions restrict vent-free installs.
Is there a CHFR for a smaller firebox?
The CHFR-16/18 covers compact openings, with CHFR-24 and CHFR-30 stepping up for larger hearths. If your firebox measures between two sets, take the smaller one; a vent-free burner needs its clearances more than it needs edge-to-edge coverage.
How many years should a set like this give me?
Refractory ceramic logs with steel reinforcement rods are built for decades of seasonal use, not a few winters. The CHFR logs resist cracking at high temperatures, and the pieces most likely to need refreshing over time are the ember materials, which are inexpensive to top up.
What sits beneath the frontier oak logs?
The G10 burner and its oversized ember bed, glowing with Bryte Coals under lively flames. Up front, the series’ well-known fire-hollowed log detail appears in frontier oak form, so the stack looks like it has been burning all evening rather than freshly lit.
Should a screen go in front of this set?
The CHFR itself does not require one; there is no popping or spark-throwing as with wood. That said, a screen is smart with children or pets around, and your fireplace manufacturer or local code may call for one, so follow whichever applies to your hearth.
Does this set need a remote to operate?
No. The G10 burner under the CHFR runs from its own controls, and a remote is an optional convenience rather than a requirement. If you want on-off from the couch, ask about compatible control accessories when you order; the log set functions fully without one.
