Real Fyre Post Oak: stout gas logs with heavy bark for a vented fireplace
The Real Fyre Post Oak is a vented gas log set. Its compact logs copy post oak, with thick, heavy bark. The look suits a casual room rather than a formal one. 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, 20, 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 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.

FAQ
What does the Post Oak bring that other oak sets do not?
Post oak is a dense, sturdy hardwood, and this set captures that character: stout, compact logs with heavy bark texture rather than long elegant timbers. If you want a fire that looks like a hardworking hardwood burn instead of a formal showpiece, the PO stack is the Classic Series answer.
Which burner platforms take the PO logs?
Four vented options appear on the spec: G4, G45, G45 stainless steel, and G46. All are configured with the Post Oak logs at purchase for natural gas or propane, and your choice determines BTU rating, ignition style, and controls, so decide how you want to operate the fire before you order.
What actually drives the price of a gas log set?
Three things move the number more than anything else: the width you need, the burner system underneath, and the control package. A 30-inch PO on a G46 with remote-ready electronic controls costs meaningfully more than an 18-inch match-lit G4 setup. The logs themselves are the smaller variable, so budget around burner and controls first.
How wide does the Post Oak run?
Four sizes: 18, 20, 24, and 30 inches. That range skews compact, which makes the PO a strong candidate for smaller and mid-size fireboxes where a 36-inch stack simply will not fit. As always with vented logs, take the smaller set when your firebox measurement lands between two options.
Will a set like this run up my gas bill?
Gas use tracks the burner and how high you run it, not the logs. A vented burner under the PO uses more fuel than a ventless heater because it prioritizes flame over efficiency, but most owners burn it for ambiance a few hours at a time rather than all day. Turning the valve down stretches vented gas logs a long way.
Are gas logs a safe way to have a fire?
Installed correctly, yes. The PO runs vented, with an open damper and the chimney doing exactly what it was built to do. Have a professional make the gas connection, fit a damper clamp, and keep the hearth clear, and you get a controllable fire with no popping embers or stray sparks, which is one real advantage over burning cordwood.
Can ventless logs go into a fireplace built for venting?
Yes, that direction works: a vent-free set may be installed in a vented fireplace, though local codes decide whether vent-free is allowed at all in your area. The reverse is forbidden, and the Post Oak is firmly on the vented side, so it always operates with the damper open and the flue in service.
