18" Charred Northern Vented Gas Log Set

The Charred Northern ANSI Vented Gas Log Set is defined by intricate, finely detailed logs that convincingly recreate the look and feel of a real wood-burning fire, with subtle char and rich bark texture. Its refined detailing gives it broad appeal across traditional and transitional fireplaces. Built on the certified G45 platform, it delivers that realism with a fully assembled, safety-tested burner.

Why we carry it

We carry Real Fyre because Peterson has hand-painted ceramic refractory logs in the USA since 1949, the most lifelike available. Each Charred Northern log is individually cast from a real wood sample, hand-painted with its char and bark detail, and steel-reinforced for durability at high temperatures.

How to size & measure your fireplace

Measure the front width, rear width, depth, and height of your firebox before ordering. Compare all four measurements with the minimum fireplace dimensions for the selected burner and controls. As a vented set, your fireplace must have a functioning chimney and operable damper.
