Real Fyre Mountain Birch See Thru: white birch logs for a fireplace between two rooms
The Real Fyre Mountain Birch See Thru is a vented gas log set for a fireplace that opens into two rooms. The logs have papery white birch bark with curling edges and dark knots. It is made for a see through fireplace, one that opens into two rooms, and the logs are finished on both sides so both rooms get the same fire. 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, 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 G45-2 see through burner, in plain or stainless steel. 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 Mountain Birch See Thru ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What makes this birch set special for dual-sided fireboxes?
The MBW-2 carries its papery white bark, curling texture, and dark knots on both faces of every log, so a fireplace open to two rooms shows finished mountain birch from either side. There is no back of this set; each viewing angle was hand-painted to be the front.
How does the MBW-2 differ from the standard Mountain Birch?
Same hand-painted birch character, different platform. The see-thru version is finished on both sides, pairs with the G45-2 see-thru burner in standard or stainless steel, and comes in three widths, 18, 24, and 30 inches, where the one-sided MBW runs to 42. Buy this one only for a dual-opening firebox.
Does firebox depth matter more with a see-thru set?
It does. A dual-opening firebox has no back wall to hide against, so measure the full front-to-rear depth and confirm the MBW-2 and its G45-2 burner fit with breathing room toward each opening. Shallow divider fireboxes are the usual catch; check depth before falling in love with a width.
What should I do if soot appears on the logs?
Soot on an MBW-2 usually means a log or ember has drifted into the flame path. Shut down, let everything cool, then reset the stack exactly per the placement diagram, checking both faces since either side can shift. Light soot brushes off the cold ceramic with a soft, dry brush.
Is installing a two-sided set more involved?
Somewhat. The installer works from both openings to center the G45-2 burner, level the MBW-2 logs, and confirm the flame presents well to each room, with the damper fixed open as on any vented set. It remains a straightforward job for a hearth professional in an existing fireplace.
Can fire glass colors be mixed around a log set?
Blending glass colors into a custom accent bed is common and perfectly workable. With the MBW-2, remember that both rooms see the base of the fire, so keep any accent media symmetrical, and never let glass cover burner ports or creep under the logs. Accents dress the edges; the birch stack is the show.
Will both rooms feel warmth from this set?
Both sides benefit from the radiant heat the ceramic logs give off during and after operation, since the MBW-2 is finished and exposed in each direction. As with any vented set, though, treat it as ambience with a warm bonus rather than a heater; most combustion heat travels up the open flue.
