Real Fyre Gnarled Oak: twisted oak logs that keep heat in the room
The Real Fyre Gnarled Oak is a vent free gas log set. The logs copy knotted, twisted old growth oak, with every burl and knot showing. There is no char, so it suits a room where you want an unburned wood look. 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 large ember bed adds glowing coals beneath the logs. A Fyreback, a steel panel that stands behind the fire, is optional. Prefer charred, split wood? See the Real Fyre Charred Gnarled Split vent free gas log set. The Real Fyre Gnarled Oak ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What character does the Gnarled Oak bring to a hearth?
Old-growth attitude. The GNO logs are modeled on knotted, twisted oak, with high-definition bark taken from real wood samples, so every burl and knot reads clearly in the firelight. Where the charred G10 styles look burned-in, the Gnarled Oak leans on the shape of the timber itself.
How are the Gnarled Oak logs built?
Superior refractory ceramics cast with bark detail from actual oak, each log reinforced by an internal steel rod. That construction lets the GNO set hold its shape at high temperatures and radiate heat both while burning and after the gas is turned off.
Does running a vent-free set change my room’s air?
It draws combustion air from the room, so good habits matter: keep the GNO logs and firebox vacuumed, avoid burning it in a freshly painted or dusty space, and give the room occasional fresh air during long fires. Check local codes too, since vent-free rules vary by jurisdiction.
Which burner system carries the Gnarled Oak?
The G10 vent-free platform, sized to match your GNO set. It brings the series’ big Bryte Coal ember bed and its familiar burned-open front log, shaped here in gnarled oak, while lively flames climb through the twisted stack above.
How do I choose among the three GNO sizes?
Measure the firebox: width across the front, width at the back wall, and depth. The GNO-16/18, GNO-24, and GNO-30 each need their listed clearances, so when your opening falls between sets, take the smaller one. More gas fireplace logs in other widths are available if the fit is unusual.
How much warmth do the ceramic logs give off?
Meaningful warmth, because this is a vent-free heater rather than a display piece. Beyond the burner’s output, the GNO’s dense ceramic bodies soak up heat and radiate it into the room throughout the burn and for a stretch after shutdown, which smooths out the warmth rather than cutting it off with the flame.
Will a brand-new set smell the first time I light it?
A faint burn-in odor over the first few fires is normal as manufacturing residues cure off the new ceramics. Run the GNO with the room aired out for its first hour or two and it fades; after that, a clean vent-free set should burn essentially odor-free.
