Real Fyre Split Oak Designer Plus: detailed split oak logs for a vented fireplace
The Real Fyre Split Oak Designer Plus is a vented gas log set. It has the most detailed hand painting in the split oak family. The split wood look suits a fireplace at the center of the room. 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 five sizes, from 18 to 36 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.

The Real Fyre Split Oak Designer Plus ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
Where does the SDP sit in Real Fyre’s split oak family?
At the top. The standard S set gives you the classic split stack and the RRSO adds rugged, weathered character; the Split Oak Designer Plus is the premium treatment, with the family’s most elaborate hand-painted detailing and the only run that reaches 36 inches. It is the pick when the fireplace is the centerpiece of the room.
What is the size range on this set?
Five sizes: SDP-18, SDP-20, SDP-24, SDP-30, and SDP-36, spanning fireboxes from about 18 to 36 inches wide. The 20-inch step is handy for odd openings, and the 36-inch stack serves large fireboxes that the smaller split oak runs cannot fill.
Which burner do I put under it?
Any of four vented systems: G4, G45, G45 stainless, or G46. Each arrives factory-configured for natural gas or propane, matched to your supply at purchase. The SDP logs are sculpted to sit over all four, so choose by ignition style, budget, and how full a flame you want.
What does the ceramic in ceramic gas logs actually mean?
Superior refractory ceramic, a material formulated to keep its strength at flame temperatures season after season. Every SDP log is cast in it around a steel reinforcement rod, then hand-painted with high-definition bark modeled from real wood. The ceramic also radiates warmth into the room while the burner runs.
Is a vented log set safe to run?
Yes, with a proper installation. Because the SDP is vented, its flue carries combustion gases out of the living space, which is why the damper gets clamped in the open position. Use a licensed gas professional for the hookup, keep combustibles off the hearth, and it operates as safely as the fireplace it sits in.
What does installing this set involve?
Plan on a licensed gas professional: the job runs from mounting the burner and pressure-testing the connection to fixing the damper open and setting every SDP log on its marked position. An existing masonry fireplace usually converts in a single visit. Explore the full Real Fyre vented line while you plan.
Will a split oak look work in a modern room?
More often than you would think. The SDP reads as refined rather than rustic, since the hand-painted splits are crisp and the stack sits low and orderly, so it complements transitional and even contemporary rooms. If your space leans hard minimalist, Real Fyre’s contemporary media sets are the alternative to consider.
