Real Fyre Graystone G23 Fyre Spheres: a vent free fire with soft gray ceramic spheres
The Real Fyre Graystone G23 Fyre Spheres is a vent free set of ceramic fire spheres that take the place of logs. Each sphere is 4 inches across. The soft neutral gray suits rooms with concrete, limestone, or plaster fireplace surrounds. 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 as an 18 or a 24 inch set. Measure your firebox at the front, at the back, and front to back, and if you land between two sizes, take the smaller set.
The spheres are ceramic, made to sit in the flame, and the burner wraps its flame around them. The price is for the spheres only. On the page you pick natural gas or propane and add the G23 burner. You also pick how it lights: with an on and off remote, or with a remote that sets the flame height plus electronic ignition. Real Fyre notes that the finish can discolor a little with use. A Fyreback, a steel panel that stands behind the fire, is optional. Prefer black? See the Real Fyre Epic Black G23 Fyre Spheres.

FAQ
Why choose the Graystone finish?
Because it is the quiet one. Graystone Fyre Spheres carry a soft, neutral gray that sits naturally against concrete, limestone, and plaster surrounds, in transitional rooms where a solid black would feel severe and marble veining too dressy. Browse the Real Fyre contemporary series to compare it against its three sibling finishes.
Will the Graystone finish change color over time?
Real Fyre notes plainly that some discoloration of the spheres may occur in a hot fireplace, so expect the Graystone surface to mellow with use rather than stay showroom-perfect forever. Many owners find the gradual patina suits the soft-neutral look; if a pristine finish matters most to you, factor that note into the decision.
How should I care for the spheres?
Wait until everything is fully cool, then dust the Graystone spheres with a soft cloth or brush and vacuum debris from around the G23 burner ports. No water, no household cleaners, no abrasives; the finish does not need them and they can mark it. A few minutes each season keeps the set looking intentional.
What actually comes in the set?
The media itself: robust 4-inch spheres in the Graystone finish, offered as an 18-inch set (US4-18-GS) or a 24-inch set (US4-24-GS). The G23 vent-free burner that showcases them is a separate, matched purchase, since Real Fyre pairs media and burner by width so the flame envelops the spheres as designed.
How do I know which width fits my firebox?
Measure the front width, back width, and depth of your firebox opening, then match against the 18 and 24-inch Graystone sets and their corresponding G23 burners. When the opening falls between the two, choose the 18-inch: sizing down keeps proper clearance around the burner, and the sphere composition still reads full.
What drives the cost of a sphere setup?
Three things more than the media: set width (the 24-inch runs above the 18-inch), the G23 burner configuration, and the control options chosen with it. The Graystone spheres themselves are a modest slice of the total, so budget around the burner side of the system first, then pick the finish that suits the room.
Can this go into the masonry fireplace I already have?
That is the classic installation: the G23 is a vent-free burner, so the Graystone set can be installed in an existing vented masonry or prefab firebox, where the damper may then stay closed to hold heat in the room. Two non-negotiables first: professional gas hookup, and a check that your local codes permit vent-free equipment.
