Real Fyre Rugged Split Oak: a vented gas log set with thick, weathered oak splits
The Real Fyre Rugged Split Oak is a vented gas log set. The thicker splits, deeper cracks, and bold bark give it a rougher look than standard Split Oak. It looks like wood from a seasoned country woodpile. 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 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
How is Rugged Split Oak different from the standard Split Oak?
It is the heavier, more weathered take: thicker splits, deeper checking, and bolder bark character, hand-painted from real wood samples like the rest of the Designer line. Where the standard set reads as a tidy split stack, the RRSO looks like wood pulled off a seasoned country woodpile.
How should I clean the RRSO logs?
With the set fully cool and the gas off, dust the logs with a soft brush and vacuum the ember area gently; never wash refractory ceramic logs or scrub them. If you reposition anything while cleaning, return each RRSO log to its diagrammed spot before relighting.
What sizes does the RRSO come in?
Three: RRSO-18, RRSO-24, and RRSO-30. Note there is no 20-inch step in this run, so a firebox measuring in the low twenties across the front takes the 18-inch set. Check the front width, back width, and depth of your firebox, and size down when between sizes.
Which burner systems support this set?
Four vented platforms: G4, G45, G45 stainless, and G46. Each comes factory-built for natural gas or liquid propane, chosen when you order, and each keeps the damper open in operation. The RRSO stack itself is the same across all four; the burner determines ignition and flame fullness.
How do you light a set like this?
It depends on the burner configuration under the RRSO logs. Match-lit burners light with a long match or lighter at the burner, safety pilot systems light from a standing pilot, and electronic systems fire from a switch or remote. Most vented gas logs offer all three routes.
Can ventless logs go in a fireplace built for vented ones?
Generally yes, where local codes allow vent-free products, since a vent-free set can operate inside a vented firebox. The reverse is the hard rule: a vented set like the RRSO must always burn with the damper open and must never be run as a ventless unit.
What determines the price of a gas log set?
Size first: an RRSO-30 uses far more sculpted ceramic than an RRSO-18. Then the burner platform, since stainless and electronic-ignition systems cost more than basic match-lit setups, and finally the controls you add, from a simple valve key to full remote operation. Media accessories layer on last.
