16" Oak Designer Plus Vented Gas Log Set

The Oak Designer Plus Vented Gas Log Set brings the warmth of a real wood fire to your hearth without the ash. The Oak Designer Plus centers on a strong front log surrounded by smaller hand-painted pieces, built to be engulfed by flame. What sets it apart: a Designer Plus front log wrapped in flame, from compact fireboxes up to grand 60" openings.

Why we carry it

We stock Real Fyre because nothing looks more like real wood. Each log is cast in hand-painted ceramic refractory, molded from an actual wood sample and finished by hand — a craft Peterson has practiced in the USA since 1949. Steel rods inside every log hold the bark detail through years of high-heat burning, which is why this is the most realistic vented set we can offer.

How to size & measure your fireplace

Measure your firebox at four points: FRONT opening width, REAR width (often narrower), DEPTH front to back, and HEIGHT. Compare all four measurements with the minimum fireplace dimensions for the selected burner and controls. Being vented, it needs a working wood-burning fireplace with a chimney and operable damper.

FAQ

Vented or ventless — what's the difference? Vented logs such as the Oak Designer Plus produce a large, natural flame and require an open chimney. Ventless sets need no flue but burn shorter.

Can I run it on natural gas or propane? Both. Choose Natural Gas or Liquid Propane when ordering and the burner is configured to match; the two are not interchangeable, so confirm your supply first.

Which ignition should I choose? Match-Light is the simplest and most economical, lit by hand each time. A Manual Safety Pilot adds a standing pilot and safety valve. Electronic ignition with a variable-flame remote lets you start and dim the fire from your chair.

Can I convert it to a different fuel later? Generally no — Natural Gas and Propane sets use different orifices and pressures, so order the set built for the fuel you have. If your supply changes, consult a licensed gas technician.
