Real Fyre Charred Mountain Birch Enhanced: a vented birch log set with a fuller flame
The Real Fyre Charred Mountain Birch Enhanced is a vented gas log set. White papery birch bark sits against black char. The lighter wood look suits a contemporary room. 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, or the G45 in stainless steel for an outdoor fireplace. 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. Enhanced means the Flame Enhancer Kit comes in the box: a back log with ceramic fiber in it, a reflective steel panel, and black embers. Together they give a fuller flame and push more heat into the room than the standard set. A Fyreback, a steel panel that stands behind the fire, is optional. Need a larger set?

The Real Fyre Charred Mountain Birch Enhanced ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
Why does this birch set carry FE in its model number?
FE marks Real Fyre’s Flame Enhanced format: the CHMBW-FE packs the standard Charred Mountain Birch logs and the complete Flame Enhancer Kit into a single SKU. Instead of buying the enhancer as a separate accessory, everything for the boosted setup arrives in one order, which Real Fyre positions as the more economical route for a new installation.
What does the enhancer hardware actually add to the fire?
Three working parts ride behind the birch stack: a ceramic fiber-infused back log, an aluminized steel panel, and black embers. Together they build a fuller flame picture and reflect more radiant heat toward the room than a standard vented arrangement, which is the entire point of the FE treatment.
Does an FE set change the venting rules?
No. The CHMBW-FE is a vented product like its plain sibling, so it burns with the damper open in a working fireplace, and it must never run unvented. The enhancer components boost flame and radiant heat within vented operation; they do not turn the set into a vent-free heater.
Which sizes and burners does the birch FE come in?
Three sizes, CHMBW-18-FE, CHMBW-24-FE, and CHMBW-30-FE, running on the G4, G45, or stainless G45 vented burner systems. Note the difference from the plain CHMBW, which stretches to 36 and 42 inches and adds a G31 option; the FE format keeps to the core sizes and flat burners.
How much difference does the FE make in warmth?
It is the version to pick when you want a vented set that pulls its weight. The aluminized panel reflects radiant heat forward and the fiber-infused back log glows harder, so more warmth reaches the room than the logs alone deliver. Real Fyre builds five styles in this format; the whole Flame Enhanced line works the same way.
Why choose the birch version of the FE line?
Of the five FE styles, the CHMBW is the only birch: pale, white-barked logs with charred accents, where CHD, CHMJ, SDP, and RDP cover the oak and driftwood looks. If your room leans contemporary or you want the fire to read brighter, the birch bark against black embers is the standout choice.
What should I budget around for a set like this?
Firebox size drives the base cost, then burner platform and controls layer on top. The FE format itself helps here: bundling the Flame Enhancer components with the CHMBW logs in one SKU is more economical for a new installation than assembling the same pieces separately. Measure the firebox first; everything else follows the size.
