Real Fyre Charred Northern Oak: a vented gas log set with lighter charring
The Real Fyre Charred Northern Oak is a vented gas log set. It copies tighter grained northern oak with crisp bark and burnt edges rather than a blackened stack. It suits rooms where heavy char looks too dramatic. 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 look does the Charred Northern Oak go for?
Cool-climate hardwood: the CHN models tighter-grained northern oak with restrained charring – burnt edges and crisp bark detail rather than a heavily blackened stack. If the deeply charred sets feel too dramatic for your room, this one lands closer to a fire that has burned honestly for an hour.
Which vented burners take the CHN?
Four: G4, G45, G45 stainless steel and G46 – one of the broader compatibility lists in the series, which helps when your installer already favors a platform. Whatever you choose arrives factory-configured for natural gas or propane; there is no field conversion between fuels later.
What sizes are on offer?
The CHN keeps to the classic trio – 18/20-inch, 24-inch and 30-inch – which matches the overwhelming majority of standard fireboxes. Check front width, back width and depth before ordering, and round down whenever your opening falls between two of the sizes.
What is a gas log set, exactly?
A ceramic sculpture of a wood fire with real flames running through it. Sets like the CHN pair detailed refractory logs with a gas burner sized to your fireplace, delivering firewood looks without hauling, ash or sparks. Browse gas fireplace logs to see how varied the styles get.
Is an open flue mandatory for the CHN?
Yes. This is a vented product: it burns with the damper open and exhausts through a working flue, exactly like a wood fire would. That open draft is what permits its loose, realistic flame. If your situation demands closed-damper operation, you need a vent-free set instead.
Do gas logs depend on household electricity?
The CHN itself uses none. Match-lit and standing-pilot burner configurations run entirely on gas pressure, so the fireplace stays functional whatever the grid is doing. Only electronic ignition and remote receivers involve power, and those are optional choices made when you configure the burner.
Could I switch this fireplace to vent-free logs later?
Possibly – vent-free sets are permitted in vented fireboxes where local codes allow them, and they carry oxygen-depletion sensors as standard equipment. Check your jurisdiction first, since some restrict vent-free entirely. Meanwhile the CHN must always run vented: damper open, no exceptions.
