Vented Burners & Log Sets.
The ultimate wood-fire realism with the convenience of gas — massive flames, glowing embers, and zero mess.
View Our BrandsSales Only — Installation Notice
Vented logs produce soot and exhaust much like a real wood fire, and rely entirely on your home's existing chimney to draft safely. For that reason, we do not install vented log sets.
We're glad to sell you the highest-quality log sets on the market — but installation should be performed by a certified chimney sweep who can verify your chimney is functional and safe for operation.
Is Vented Right for You?
Vented logs are built for aesthetics, not heat efficiency. Because you burn them with the fireplace damper open, most of the heat goes up the chimney — just like a real wood fire. In exchange, you get a much larger, yellower, and more realistic flame than any vent-free unit can produce. Want maximum heat instead? See our vent-free fireplaces →
The Best Logs in the Industry
Real Fyre (RH Peterson)
The gold standard in gas logs for over 70 years. Each log is hand-painted to mimic specific wood species like Charred Oak, White Birch, and Driftwood. Their advanced burner systems create a full fire look with glowing embers that last a lifetime.

White Mountain Hearth
Famous for their “Slope Glaze” burners — taller in the back and lower in the front — for a deep, visually appealing flame bed. Their ceramic-fiber logs reflect heat well and glow beautifully when the burner is active.

Grand Canyon Gas Logs
If you want big, heavy, impressive logs, this is the brand. Grand Canyon casts their logs from real timber found in the Arizona wilderness. Their stack styles look incredibly natural — even when the fire is off.

Vented logs need a real, working chimney. Run through this quick checklist — and if you're unsure, ask us.
Fully Masonry Fireplace
You need a traditional brick-and-mortar fireplace, or a “zero-clearance” box specifically rated for vented gas logs.
Functional Chimney
Your chimney must be clean, free of obstructions, and capable of drafting smoke effectively.
Damper Clamp
Installation requires a damper clamp (included with sets) that keeps the chimney damper slightly open at all times for safety.
Gas Line Access
You need natural gas or propane plumbed directly into the firebox. We're happy to answer questions about gas-line requirements.
