Real Fyre Gas Logs: Realism without the Mess

Gas logs offer the cozy realism of a wood-burning hearth, with none of the mess and soot. If you’re shopping for authentic-looking gas logs that combine showroom realism with proven durability, Real Fyre gas logs are one of the most trusted names in the hearth industry. 

For over 70 years the brand has focused on hand-crafted, high-definition ceramic logs and flexible burner systems that suit both traditional and contemporary fireplaces. Let’s explore Real Fyre’s vented and vent-free options in multiple aesthetic lines so you can match flame style, heat output, and installation requirements for your home.

About Real Fyre

Real Fyre is the consumer brand of R.H. Peterson (Robert H. Peterson Co.), a long-established hearth manufacturer from City of Industry, California. 

The company’s roots in gas log innovation date back to the mid-20th century when Real Fyre produced its first gas log in 1949. By 1982, strong sales allowed the brand to expand into outdoor fireplaces and barbecue grills. 

Today, Real Fyre is the original brand that jumpstarted the creation of its parent company R.H. Peterson, which now boasts a portfolio of four different brands. Real Fyre credits its legacy to developing realistic ceramic gas logs and refining burner technology over decades, solidifying its brand reputation among the American public.

That heritage is one reason dealers and homeowners trust the brand for quality and warranty support.

The Real Fyre Difference

Real Fyre’s product philosophy can be summed up in four main points:

✔ Hand-painted refractory ceramic logs

Real Fyre prides itself on realism first and foremost. Real Fyre logs are painstakingly sculpted and hand-painted by artisans in California to reproduce bark, knots, and char patterns that look like real wood.

✔ Reinforced construction

Beyond aesthetics, Real Fyre logs are made to be robust. Each one is made from high-temperature refractory ceramics, with internal steel rods for structural integrity at high temperatures. This helps resist warping and prolongs the life of each log.

✔ Multiple pairings

Real Fyre pairs different burner pans (single, double, triple burners; linear burners) with ember materials and reflective panels. This allows for depth, realistic flame patterns, and visual radiance.

✔ Vented and vent-free options

The Real Fyre catalog includes both vented sets (which burn into a flue) and ventless sets (designed for use without a chimney, where allowed). This provides homeowners with flexibility for retrofit or new installations.

Real Fyre Product Lineup

Gas Logs

Real Fyre’s bread and butter, and the product that made it a household name for hearths. Real Fyre gas logs are proudly American-made, being handcrafted and painted by hand in California. This allows for unmatched realism and authenticity that’s almost indistinguishable from actual wood.

Beneath the realistic exterior, the logs boast reinforced steel rods for enhanced durability and longevity. Likewise, a high-quality finishing process minimizes chipping and breaking to give homeowners the longest lasting log.

Burners

Manual Burner

Real Fyre offers manual burners that can be matched with gas log sets, and come in natural gas or liquid propane. 

Featured manual burner:

RH Peterson Real-Fyre G45-18/20N 18″ / 20″ Triple T Vented Burner

This Triple T Burner consists of a main burner tube that extends down the middle and a smaller front flame burner that “T”s off the main burner. The additional front flame allows you to position the burner directly beneath the logs helping to accentuate the front flame.

This specialized burner also gives you a nice bed of glowing embers under beautiful dancing flames. With its front pipe, there are three additional spaces for the flames to come through, adding more depth. Regardless of the pilot valve chosen, the design will give you dancing flames across the length of the burner tubes and your glowing embers will glow nicely, for a more realistic fire.

Triple T Vented Burner with Automatic Pilot

These come with variable flame remote control safety pilot systems. The flame height can be adjusted by remote or manually.

Featured Triple T Vented Burner:

RH Peterson Real-Fyre G4518/2017N 18″ / 20″ Triple T Vented Burner with Automatic Pilot / Variable Flame

This Triple T Burner includes a variable flame remote control safety pilot system. It has a low profile adjustable flame remote control safety pilot that takes up less room and requires less clearance inside your fireplace. It uses a standing pilot that stays lit.

As long as the safety pilot is lit, the burner can be turned on or off and the flame height can be adjusted by remote or manually. It comes with an On/Off remote transmitter that actually adjusts the flame height as well.

Bed Accessories

For enhanced realism, Real Fyre also offers a wealth of hearth accessories to make your gas fireplace indistinguishable from the real thing.

These include:
