Real Fyre Split Oak: a vent free gas log set with exposed oak grain
The Real Fyre Split Oak is a vent free gas log set. The logs copy freshly split oak, with exposed grain and bark edges. That wood fire look suits a traditional room. It is vent free, which means the burner burns clean enough to run with the damper closed, so the heat stays in the room. It still goes inside a real fireplace, and vent free logs are not allowed everywhere, so check your local code first. It comes in 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 G9 burner; a 24 inch see through version for a fireplace open to two rooms is on the page too. You also pick how it lights: with a manual control, with an on and off remote, or with a remote that sets the flame height. The see through version uses an on and off remote only. Heat output ranges from 21,000 to 36,000 BTU depending on size and fuel. The burner has a reflective panel in the ember bed, with lava granules, embers, and glowing coals in the box. A Fyreback, a steel panel that stands behind the fire, is optional. Want another oak look? See the Real Fyre Golden Oak Designer vent free gas log set. The Real Fyre Split Oak ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
Why choose the Split Oak on the G9 platform?
For a split-wood fire with heater economics. The S9 renders freshly split oak, exposed grain and bark edges included, over the G9 vent-free system and its reflective ember panel, delivering woodpile realism in a value-oriented package that warms the room instead of the chimney.
What does the oxygen depletion sensor actually do?
It is a pilot-mounted watchdog: if oxygen in the room ever drifts below a safe threshold, the sensor starves the pilot and the S9’s gas valve closes automatically. You never interact with it; it simply stands guard. Local codes govern vent-free use, so verify yours during planning.
Which burner does the Split Oak use?
The G9 vent-free burner, spanning 21,000 to 36,000 BTU across its sizes in natural gas or propane trim, with a reflective panel that doubles the ember glow under the split logs. Compare styles across this gas fireplace burner family within the Real Fyre vent-free range.
Will running these logs show up on my gas bill?
Modestly. Vent-free efficiency means the S9 converts nearly all of its fuel into room heat, so you are not paying to warm the sky. Run at partial flame the burner sips gas, and offsetting your furnace in the room you actually occupy can soften the net cost.
How is the S9 lineup sized?
By burner: S9-20, S9-24, and S9-30, plus a dedicated see-thru version, the S9-2-24, for double-sided fireboxes. Match set size to firebox front width, back width, and depth, rounding down between sizes to preserve clearances. The 20-inch set is a strong fit for smaller prefab fireboxes.
Is there a right way to stack the split logs?
One way only: the S9 placement sheet maps each split log’s position on the G9 burner, and that certified stack is what keeps a vent-free flame clean and the safety listing intact. It goes together quickly; just resist the urge to art-direct it afterward.
Could the Split Oak work in an outdoor fireplace?
It is not the set for that. The S9 and its G9 burner are listed for indoor installations, and Real Fyre offers separate outdoor-approved vent-free systems for patios and exterior hearths, which is the safe route if the fire is going outside.
