18" Rugged Split Oak Vented Gas Log Set

The Rugged Split Oak Vented Gas Log Set pairs coarse, hand-painted split logs with pronounced bark texture and exposed grain for a tougher, more outdoorsy take on the classic oak fire. It captures the honest, hand-hewn look of firewood split for the cabin or lodge. The rough split faces give the flame plenty of texture to wrap around for a lively, natural burn.

Why we carry it

We carry Real Fyre because Peterson's hand-painted ceramic refractory logs, made in the USA since 1949, are simply the most realistic available. Every Rugged Split Oak log is individually cast from a real sample, hand-finished, and steel-reinforced to endure years of high-temperature use.

How to size & measure your fireplace

Start by measuring your firebox front width, then the rear width, depth, and height. Compare all four measurements with the minimum fireplace dimensions for the selected burner and controls. This is a vented set, so your fireplace must have a functioning chimney and an operable damper.
