Real Fyre Split Valley Oak: a vent free gas log set for small fireplaces
The Real Fyre Split Valley Oak is a vent free gas log set for small fireplaces. Its split faced valley oak logs suit a snug den or cottage living room. A front panel and knob cover come with it to hide the burner controls. 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 16, 20, or 24 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 G8E burner, 20,000 BTU, or the reduced 9,500 BTU version made for bedrooms. 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 reduced burner comes with a manual control or an on and off remote. A Fyreback, a steel panel that stands behind the fire, is optional. Prefer whole logs? See the Real Fyre Valley Oak vent free gas log set. The Real Fyre Split Valley Oak ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
Who is the Split Valley Oak built for?
Small fireplaces. The SVO8E puts split-faced valley oak logs on the compact G8E vent-free burner, a simple, reliable system made for fireboxes where full-size sets will not fit. You give up nothing in texture, with high-definition split-wood detail intact, while gaining a footprint that suits condos, cottages, and snug dens.
Can a gas log set go in a bedroom?
The G8E platform is one of the few places the answer can be yes: alongside the standard model, Real Fyre offers a reduced-output unit designed for bedrooms at 9,500 BTU. Bedroom installations carry the strictest rules of all, so clear it with your local codes before ordering the SVO8E that way.
What is the standard SVO8E’s output?
The standard G8E burner is a 20,000 BTU model, sized sensibly for the smaller rooms this set targets rather than overpowering them. A decorative front panel and knob cover are included as well, tidying the burner hardware behind the split oak stack.
How do the three sizes break down?
SVO8E-16, SVO8E-20, and SVO8E-24. Note the run starts at 16 inches, smaller than most vent-free families, which is exactly the point of the G8E. Measure your firebox and choose the set whose clearance requirements your opening meets, sizing down between options.
Is 20,000 BTU enough heat to matter?
In the compact spaces the SVO8E is meant for, absolutely. Vent-free output stays in the room, so 20,000 BTU of retained heat noticeably warms a small den or cottage living room, with the ceramic split logs radiating on after shutdown. For a great room, look to a larger platform instead.
How do I measure a small firebox for logs?
Same as a big one: width across the front opening, width across the back wall, and depth front to rear. Compare those numbers against each SVO8E size’s requirements and round down between sets. The G8E Series page lists the compact options side by side.
Is it knob-operated or does it need a remote?
The G8E is refreshingly simple: burner-mounted controls behind an included knob cover, with no remote required. It is a set-the-flame-and-enjoy system, in keeping with the SVO8E’s straightforward small-fireplace mission, though you can ask about control accessories if you want more.

What Our Customers Say
D
A sauna turns your garden into a spa oasis. We debated it for a while, but after renovating our house, we pulled the trigger and bought a sauna from Norse Steam and Maya. She was always super responsive and helpful throughout the process. Don't kid yourself, getting a really nice sauna is not that easy. Sizing and heating need to be figured out, as does the building, but we have always had a helpful partner on our side. She never upsold us on anything we didn't need, and we got some nice freebies when the sauna was delivered. And now we can really enjoy every moment in our garden.
KF
I'm really happy with my sauna purchase. Maya gave above and beyond excellent customer service. She wasn't pushy and gave impressive followup after the delivery to make sure everything was just right.
DE
I enjoy my FD2 Sauna with Red Light, Infrared and radiant heat. Use it 5x a week and my post workout soreness is minimal and sleep great. Maya at Norse Steam was excellent to work with.
B
We purchased the 3-person sauna for our outdoor garden. We chose the cube sauna for the aesthetic and could not be happier.
I assembled by myself except for the 2 large panels (requires a few people). Instructions were good - took me two partial Saturdays to complete and a few hours to unpack and organize in advance of assembly. Had my elec. add a NEMA enclosure on the back for the controller and power for lights and a 2nd panel for the wireless control.
Customer service was excellent

Awesome Sauna and Awesome Company and Experience purchasing it from Maya!
After much research I chose the Finnmark FD-2 and it has met and exceeded all my expectations! Easy to assemble and it functions great - just as advertised. I highly recommend it for home use!
EA
Recently purchased the Finnmark one person after much research. Extremely happy with it and the ordering process. Maya was very responsive and helpful during the process and keeping us updated while we waited for shipment. There were several places I could have ordered this, but i chose Norse Steam based on the communication and customer service which was fantastic. The shipment was also excellent. The setup was pretty seamless for two people - but the best part is the sauna experience 10/10

Maya is amazing - super helpful and responsive. Looked at many stores, these guys have the best prices and service. Highly recommend
GR
Norse Steam, and specifically Maya, were extremely helpful as I was making the decision for our Sauna. I was able to get all of the necessary details to make a decision as construction was happening in my backyard to make space for it.
We absolutely love the CL7G. It is extremely comfortable for 6 people (can fit more less comfortably). The Thermory Spruce and Aspen in the interior smells great. The lighting is lovely. We paired the CL7G with the Harvia Spirit 10.5kw.
RS
Had great experience shopping at Norse Steam for the new heater. They had very good deal, with rocks. Customer service was good, and responded very fast with my questions. Received the heater, and it looks good, and the quality seem to be great. Will install soon, and am very excited to start experiencing sauna the way it ment to be

Smoking Hot Tub!
I got the Norse Steam SaunaLife wood-fired hot tub, the S4N model, and its been seriously great. It heats up quicker than I expected, usually around an hour and a half, and once its hot, it stays that way for a good long while. The wood-fired system is simple to use, and honestly kind of fun.
The tub itself feels solid and well put together. The thermo-spruce exterior looks beautiful in person, and the fiberglass interior is smooth, deep, and easy to clean. Its the kind of setup that just works without a bunch of fuss, which I really appreciate.
Also, the team at Norse Steam was genuinely great to work with. Super helpful, quick to respond, and made the process really easy from start to finish. It felt like they actually cared that I was happy with it. The tub has totally become a go-to way to unwind, and I wouldnt change a thing.

Great Sauna & Purchase Experience
Great experience purchasing Finnmark FD-2 from Norse Steam. Good communication and easy to assemble. Temperature increases quickly (30 minutes or less to 140) and maintains well. So far this has been a great purchase.
M
Great sauna and great customer service
We purchased the Finnmark SD-1 sauna. Maya was extremely helpful with the purchase. We had an issue with the sauna not reaching the maximum temperature, and Maya connected us with the appropriate technician that explained how to correct the issue. The sauna now heats to the maximum temperature (170 degrees) in less than an hour, and it is a great unit. We are very happy with it, and we would definitely purchase from NorseSteam if we needed any other items.

Sauna Review
I recently purchased a sauna from Norse Steam, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional, and Maya deserves special recognition for her outstanding support!
Maya was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, answering all my questions about the sauna features, installation process, and maintenance. She went above and beyond to ensure I selected the perfect model for my home. Even after the purchase, Maya followed up to make sure everything was running smoothly and that I was satisfied with my sauna.
The sauna itself is top-notch beautifully designed, durable, and easy to use. It's clear that Norse Steam takes pride in the quality of their products and their commitment to customer satisfaction.
If you're considering a sauna, I wholeheartedly recommend Norse Steam. With their excellent customer service and high-quality products, you're in great hands. Thank you, Maya, and the entire Norse Steam team for a fantastic experience!
