Real Fyre Rustic Oak: a vented gas log set with weathered oak
The Real Fyre Rustic Oak is a vented gas log set. Its rough bark and uneven shapes look like oak seasoned in a woodpile. It suits a cabin or lodge. 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 six 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.

FAQ
What does Rustic mean on this oak set?
Weathered, seasoned character: logs that look like they have sat in the woodpile through a few winters, with rough, deeply textured bark and irregular shapes. The HR is the Classic Series choice for cabins, lodges, and any room where a polished formal stack would feel too tidy. High-definition bark modeled from real wood keeps the roughness convincing up close.
How many sizes does the Rustic Oak span?
Six, one of the wider runs in the line: 16, 18, 24, 30, 36, and 42 inches, covering small hearths and oversized lodge fireboxes alike. Note there is no 20-inch step, so if your firebox measures between 18 and 24 inches, take the 18-inch HR rather than crowding the burner.
What is the right way to light a gas log fire?
It depends on the ignition you configure. A match-lit HR burner lights with a long match or wand lighter at the burner; a standing pilot lights from its pilot flame by valve or switch; electronic systems fire from a remote or wall control. Whatever the setup, follow the lighting instructions for your burner rather than guessing.
Which burner families support these logs?
The Rustic Oak spec lists four vented platforms: G4, G45, G45 stainless steel, and G46. Each is ordered together with the logs in natural gas or propane, and the platform choice governs BTU output and the controls you can add, from manual valves through full remote operation.
Will a vented set like this take the chill off the room?
Within reason. Most combustion heat exits the open flue, but the HR castings absorb heat and radiate it into the room during the fire and for a while after shutoff, which is a real, felt warmth on the hearth side. Treat the HR and the rest of the Classic Series as ambiance first and supplemental warmth second.
I have a vented fireplace; do my logs have to be vented too?
No; a vent-free set may legally go into a vented firebox where codes permit, running with the damper closed for efficiency. But the HR is not that product: it is a vented set that must always burn with the damper open. Decide first whether you want maximum realism or maximum heat, then buy the matching system.
Can the HR burn when the house has no power?
If you configure it that way, yes. Gas supplies the fire, and electricity only matters to certain ignition systems: a match-lit or standing-pilot burner under the Rustic Oak operates entirely without power, while electronic ignitions need their battery backup or supply. Buyers in outage-prone areas often choose the simpler ignition for exactly this reason.
