Real Fyre Foothill Split Oak: a vent free gas fire with freshly split oak logs
The Real Fyre Foothill Split Oak is a vent free gas log set. The front log looks like freshly split oak, with natural bark. Glowing embers below give it the look of a wood fire. 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 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 G19A burner for an indoor fireplace, or the ODG15 burner that lets the 24 and 30 inch sets go in an outdoor fireplace. You also pick how it lights: with a remote that sets the flame height, with or without electronic ignition. A Fyreback, a steel panel that stands behind the fire, is optional. Prefer whole logs?

FAQ
What gives the Foothill Split Oak set its character?
The FTSO front log is uniquely shaped to mimic freshly split oak, with high-definition bark and natural coloring taken from real wood samples. Set over the G19A burner’s glowing ember bed, the split faces catch the flame’s light, so the stack reads like a hardwood fire that was just laid rather than a decorative prop.
Can a gas log set really live outdoors?
This one can. Alongside the standard G19A vent-free burner, the Foothill Split Oak lists the ODG15 Outdoor Burner as a compatible pairing, making it one of the few Real Fyre sets suited to an outdoor gas fireplace. Most gas logs are strictly indoor equipment, so check the pairing before assuming any set can move outside.
What sizes does the FTSO come in?
Three: FTSO-18, FTSO-24, and FTSO-30, covering fireboxes from compact to generous. Each pairs with a matching width of the G19A or ODG15 burner, since Real Fyre configures logs and burner together as one system. If your opening lands between sizes, step down rather than up so the set sits with proper clearance.
What are gas fireplace logs actually made of?
Real Fyre casts the Foothill Split Oak from superior refractory ceramics that hold their strength at high temperatures, with a steel reinforcement rod inside each log. The bark texture is high-definition, modeled on real wood, and the ceramic mass keeps radiating warmth during operation and even after you shut the set off.
Will a vent-free set like this warm the room?
Yes, and that is the point of the G19A platform. As a vent-free system it burns cleanly enough to keep its heat in the room instead of sending it up a flue, and the ceramic FTSO logs soak up and re-radiate warmth while burning and after shutdown. Have local codes checked first, since some areas restrict vent-free use indoors.
How do I measure my firebox for this set?
Take three numbers: the width across the front of the firebox, the width across the back, and the depth from front to back. Match those against the FTSO-18, 24, and 30 footprints, and when your opening falls between two sizes, choose the smaller set so logs and burner keep safe clearance on every side.
Do gas logs need a remote to work?
No. A remote is a convenience option, not a requirement. The Foothill Split Oak runs from whatever control system is configured with its G19A or ODG15 burner at purchase, so decide how you want to operate the fire, from a simple manual valve up to remote controls, when you choose the burner.
