Real Fyre Charred Gnarled Split: a vent free gas log set with knotted, split wood
The Real Fyre Charred Gnarled Split is a vent free gas log set. The logs copy gnarled, split timber with charred, knotted bark. Their storm fallen wood look suits a rustic room. 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. Glowing coals fill the ember bed, and their glow shows through the burned through front log. A Fyreback, a steel panel that stands behind the fire, is optional. Prefer lighter wood? See the Real Fyre Charred Alpine Birch vent free gas log set. The Real Fyre Charred Gnarled Split ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What is distinctive about the Charred Gnarled Split?
Twist and grain. The CHGS logs are sculpted as gnarled, split-faced timber, so you get exposed interior wood texture wrapped in charred, knotted bark, the most sculptural profile among the G10 log styles. It is the set to pick when you want the fire to look storm-fallen rather than neatly stacked.
What does the ember bed add to this set?
Depth and glow. Beneath the gnarled split logs, a large ember bed lit with Bryte Coals throws a low, banked-fire shimmer, and the burnt-open detailing on the front piece lets that glow flicker through the stack. The effect is a fire that reads hot even at lower flame settings.
Can the damper stay closed while the CHGS burns?
Yes. This is a vent-free set, so it is designed to run with the damper shut and keep its heat in the room instead of sending it up the chimney. Confirm vent-free appliances are permitted by your local codes before installing, as a few jurisdictions limit them.
What actually drives the cost of a gas log set?
Size first: a CHGS-30 carries more ceramic than a CHGS-16/18. Then the burner system, the fuel configuration, and whatever control options you add. Media upgrades and accessories move the number too. Judge value by the ceramic quality and the burner engineering rather than the sticker alone.
Which set sizes does the CHGS come in?
Three sets: CHGS-16/18, CHGS-24, and CHGS-30, each matched to its G10 burner. Firebox front width, back width, and depth determine the right one, and the smaller set wins whenever you fall between sizes, since vent-free clearances are non-negotiable.
What is a ventless gas log set, simply put?
Ceramic sculptures of real timber arranged over a gas burner. In the CHGS case, that means refractory ceramic castings of gnarled split wood with steel rods inside, sitting on a vent-free G10 system that heats the room as it burns. The Real Fyre vent-free collection covers the brand’s full range of looks.
Could I run this set on a covered patio?
No. The CHGS and its G10 burner are listed for indoor fireplaces only. Real Fyre builds separate outdoor-approved vent-free systems for exterior spaces; if a patio fire is the goal, start with those rather than trying to adapt an indoor set.

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

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!
