Vented Burners & Log Sets
The ultimate wood-fire realism with the convenience of gas. Massive flames, glowing embers, and zero mess.
View Our Brands⚠️ Sales Only / Installation Notice
Please Note: Vented logs produce soot and exhaust similar to a real wood fire. Because they rely entirely on your home's existing chimney to draft safely, we do NOT install vented log sets.
We are happy 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 designed for aesthetics, not heat efficiency. Because you must burn them with your fireplace damper OPEN, most of the heat goes up the chimney—just like a real wood fire. However, this allows for a much larger, yellower, and more realistic flame than any vent-free unit can provide.
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 which are taller in the back and lower in the front, creating 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 pieces of timber found in the Arizona wilderness. Their "stack" styles look incredibly natural, even when the fire is off.

✅ Fully Masonry Fireplace
You must have a traditional brick-and-mortar fireplace or a specialized "zero clearance" box 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 forces your chimney damper to stay slightly open at all times for safety.
✅ Gas Line Access
You need natural gas or propane plumbed directly into the firebox. We can help answer questions about gas line requirements.
