Real Fyre Golden Oak: the original gas log set in warm golden brown
The Real Fyre Golden Oak is a vented gas log set. The logs copy golden brown oak with natural bark. This original Real Fyre design suits a traditional 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 seven sizes, from 16 to 42 inches. 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.

The Real Fyre Golden Oak ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What makes the Golden Oak the classic Real Fyre log set?
Real Fyre originated the gas log set more than 75 years ago, and the Golden Oak is the Classic Series original that has stayed in the line ever since. Its high-definition bark texture and warm natural coloring are modeled for a traditional hearth look that never reads as dated.
What sizes does the Golden Oak come in?
Seven sizes: 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, and 42 inches (SKUs R-16 through R-42). Measure your firebox front width, back width, and depth, then choose the set that leaves clearance on each side. You can browse other gas fireplace logs in the same sizes if you want a different wood style.
Which burner systems pair with these logs?
The Golden Oak stack is offered on Real Fyre’s vented burner platforms: the G4, the G45, the G45 in stainless steel, and the G46. Your burner choice sets the BTU rating, the fuel (natural gas or propane), and the ignition and control options, so the logs and burner are configured together at purchase.
What are gas fireplace logs made of?
Real Fyre casts them from superior refractory ceramics that hold their strength at high temperatures, with a steel rod inserted in each log for reinforcement. The ceramic mass also stores heat, so the Golden Oak keeps radiating warmth into the room even after the burner is turned off.
How should I arrange the logs so the fire looks natural?
Follow the placement diagram in the Golden Oak manual: the large front and rear logs go down first, and the smaller crossers rest in their cast notches. Correct placement matters for more than looks, because logs sitting over the burner ports can cause sooting, so keep the stack in the positions shown.
Do vented gas logs put out real heat?
They are primarily about the look of a full wood fire, since a vented installation runs with the damper open. That said, the Golden Oak’s ceramic logs throw noticeable radiant heat toward the room while burning and continue to radiate after shutoff. Just don’t expect furnace-style output like a vent-free set.
Do I need a screen in front of gas logs?
A mesh screen is a smart addition with any open-flame vented set like this one. It will not affect the flame pattern, and it keeps curious hands, pets, and stray hearth traffic a step back from the fire. Most standard fireplace screens work fine in front of the Golden Oak.
