Important: Log Set Only – G9 Burner Required
The RD9-24 includes the Golden Oak Designer gas logs only. A compatible Peterson Real Fyre G9 burner is required and sold separately.
Do not substitute an unrelated burner. The manufacturer identifies the RD9-series logs for use with the Real Fyre G9 burner system.
Traditional Golden Oak Styling Designed Around the G9 Burner
The RD9-24 is designed for homeowners who want the familiar appearance of naturally stacked oak without burning solid wood.
Detailed bark texture, realistic coloring, and sculpted refractory surfaces give the seven-log arrangement depth inside the fireplace.
The lower logs incorporate alignment points designed to correspond with the compatible G9 burner, while the middle and upper logs fit into prescribed positions to create the intended finished presentation.
Compatibility first: The RD9-24 is not a universal decorative gas-log set. Verify the G9 burner, fireplace dimensions, fuel configuration, and log-placement requirements before ordering.

Why Choose the Real Fyre RD9-24?
Golden Oak Designer Styling
Detailed bark texture and natural coloring create a traditional stacked-oak fireplace appearance.
Seven-Log Configuration
The RD9-24 uses a specific front, rear, middle, and top-log arrangement.
Refractory Ceramic Construction
The logs are made from ceramic refractory material designed for the heat generated by the compatible gas burner system.
Steel Reinforcement
The supplied product information identifies steel reinforcement within the logs for additional structural support.
Radiant Heat
The heated refractory material radiates warmth during operation and continues releasing stored heat while cooling after shutdown.
G9-Specific Alignment
Underside cutouts and alignment points on the lower logs correspond with the compatible G9 burner arrangement.
What's Not Included?
G9 Burner
The compatible Real Fyre G9 burner is sold separately.
Gas Valve
The valve depends on the selected G9 control configuration.
Pilot / Ignition System
Pilot and ignition functionality come from the separately purchased burner system.
Remote Control
Remote functionality depends on the G9 burner model and control configuration selected.
Compatible Real Fyre G9 Burner System
The RD9-24 is designed for installation with a separately purchased Peterson Real Fyre G9 burner system.
The G9 burner is available in dedicated Natural Gas or LP configurations.
Fuel configuration: Fuel type applies to the G9 burner, not the ceramic RD9-24 logs. The burner must match the available gas supply, and field conversion between Natural Gas and LP is not permitted.
Compatible G9 Burner Specifications for the 24" RD9-24

Measure before ordering: Fireplace dimensions and applicable clearances must be confirmed before installation. Do not rely on nominal log size alone.
Approved G9 Fireplace Applications
The compatible G9 burner is designed for qualifying fireplace applications identified in the manufacturer's instructions.
Masonry Fireplace
Qualifying solid-fuel-burning masonry fireplace.
UL 127 Factory-Built Fireplace
Qualifying factory-built fireplace approved for the intended application.
Listed Ventless Firebox
Listed ventless firebox enclosure that satisfies Real Fyre's installation requirements.
Installation restriction: Do not install the G9 burner in a factory-built fireplace whose instructions state that it has not been tested or should not be used with unvented burner systems.
Vent-Free & Vented G9 Applications
Vent-Free / Unvented
The compatible G9 burner system is certified as an unvented room heater under ANSI Z21.11.2 when installed in a qualifying application and where permitted.
Vented Decorative
The G9 system is also certified as a vented decorative appliance under ANSI Z21.60 when installed according to the applicable manufacturer requirements.
Local-code check: State and local codes can restrict vent-free heaters. Verify the permitted installation type before purchasing or installing the burner system.
Ventilation & Room-Size Requirements
When the G9 burner is operated as an unvented gas-fired heater where permitted, adequate combustion and ventilation air must be provided.
The manufacturer's instructions define an unconfined space as providing at least 50 cubic feet of room volume per 1,000 BTU/hr of aggregate gas-appliance input.
Room-volume formula:
Length × Width × Height × 20 = Maximum BTUs Allowed
For example, a 36,000 BTU installation with no other gas-burning appliances requires at least 1,800 cubic feet of qualifying room volume under the manufacturer's example.
Confined spaces, unusually tight construction, high-altitude installations, and other conditions may require additional combustion or ventilation air.
Minimum Clearances & Fireplace Preparation
When the fireplace manufacturer does not specify different requirements, the G9 instructions identify minimum clearances for applicable vent-free installations.
| Sidewalls |
Minimum 6" from each side of the fireplace opening |
| Ceiling |
Minimum 42" above the top of the fireplace opening |
| Material Above Opening |
Applicable noncombustible or heat-resistant material required |
| Mantel / Hood / Flooring |
Requirements vary by final installation |
If required clearances cannot be met: The supplied G9 instructions state that the system must be operated with the chimney flue damper open according to the manufacturer's applicable vented-operation requirements.
RD9-24 Seven-Log Placement
The Golden Oak Designer RD9-24 uses a specific seven-log configuration designed to correspond with the G9 burner.
1. Rear Log
Placed in its prescribed rear position on the compatible burner system.
2. Front Log
Installed in the designated front position and fully seated.
3. Left Middle Log
Placed in the prescribed left-middle location.
4. Center Middle Log
Positioned centrally over the lower log arrangement.
5. Right Middle Log
Installed in the designated right-middle position.
6. Left Top Log
Placed over the supporting logs in its manufacturer-defined position.
7. Right Top Log
Completes the prescribed seven-log Golden Oak Designer arrangement.
Do not rearrange the logs for appearance. The underside of the lower logs includes alignment features intended to position them correctly on the G9 burner.
Why Correct Log Placement Matters
Correct positioning is important for both the intended flame presentation and proper burner operation.
Correct Installation
- Fully seat each log in the prescribed location.
- Keep every log stable before operating the burner.
- Maintain the manufacturer-defined openings between logs.
- Periodically confirm that logs have not shifted.
- Use the correct placement manual for the burner/log configuration.
Do Not
- Create a custom log arrangement.
- Operate with loosely seated logs.
- Allow persistent flame impingement on the logs.
- Ignore significant soot buildup.
- Add additional embers beyond those specified by Real Fyre.
Flame contact: The supplied placement information states that when the logs are correctly positioned, flames should not strike any portion of the logs.
G9 Oxygen Depletion Sensor Safety Pilot
The compatible G9 burner system uses an Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) safety pilot.
The ODS is designed to shut down the burner system before available room oxygen drops below the manufacturer's specified operating level.
ODS is not a substitute for ventilation: Proper room volume, combustion air, ventilation, installation, and ongoing maintenance requirements must still be followed.
Important G9 Operating Information
Supplemental Heating
The G9 system is identified as supplemental heat rather than the home's primary heating source.
Attended Appliance
Adults must be present while the burner is operating.
Do Not Leave Unattended
Do not leave the burner operating unattended or while anyone is sleeping.
Glass Doors Open
When glass fireplace doors are present, they must be fully open during operation.
Correct Fuel
The G9 burner must match the Natural Gas or LP supply at the installation location.
No Field Conversion
Do not convert the G9 burner from Natural Gas to LP or LP to Natural Gas in the field.
Standard RD9-24 vs. See-Through Configuration
The standard RD9-24 installation and a see-through Golden Oak Designer configuration use different manufacturer placement instructions.
Standard Configuration
Use the Golden Oak Designer standard log-set placement instructions applicable to RD9-24.
See-Through Configuration
Use the separate Golden Oak Designer see-through placement instructions and the applicable G9 see-through burner instructions.
Do not interchange instructions: Follow the manual that corresponds to the exact burner and log configuration being installed.

Specification distinction: Fuel type, BTU input, ignition type, pilot type, ODS system, and remote control are specifications of the compatible G9 burner system—not of the ceramic RD9-24 logs by themselves.
Flame Authority Expert Recommendation
Choose the Real Fyre RD9-24 when you want a traditional Golden Oak appearance and already have or plan to purchase the compatible Peterson Real Fyre G9 burner system.
Its seven-log arrangement, detailed bark texture, natural coloration, refractory ceramic construction, steel reinforcement, and G9-specific alignment make it a good fit for buyers who want a classic oak-fire presentation with the convenience of gas.
The most important buying consideration is compatibility. Before ordering, verify the 24-inch log size, G9 burner series, 32" minimum front width, 24" rear width, 14" depth, 17" height, correct Natural Gas or LP burner configuration, applicable local vent-free rules, and prescribed log placement.
If your installation is a see-through fireplace, use the dedicated see-through manuals rather than the standard RD9-24 placement procedure.

Real Fyre RD9-24 FAQs
What is the Real Fyre RD9-24?
The RD9-24 is a 24-inch Golden Oak Designer refractory ceramic gas log set with a seven-log arrangement designed specifically for a compatible Peterson Real Fyre G9 burner system.
Does the Real Fyre RD9-24 include the burner?
No. The RD9-24 includes the Golden Oak Designer logs only. The compatible Real Fyre G9 burner is required and sold separately.
What burner works with the Real Fyre RD9-24?
The manufacturer specifies a Peterson Real Fyre G9 burner system. No alternative burner compatibility is established by the supplied product information.
How many logs are included in the RD9-24?
The standard RD9-24 uses seven logs: a rear log, front log, three middle-position logs, and two top logs.
What are the RD9-24 logs made from?
The logs are made from refractory ceramic material. The supplied product information also identifies internal steel reinforcement for additional support.
What size fireplace is required for the RD9-24?
With the compatible 24-inch G9 burner configuration, the fireplace must provide at least 32" front width, 24" rear width, 14" depth, and 17" height.
Is the RD9-24 for Natural Gas or Propane?
The ceramic RD9-24 logs themselves are not fuel-specific. Fuel type is determined by the separately purchased G9 burner, which is available in Natural Gas or LP configurations.
Can a Natural Gas G9 burner be converted to LP?
No. Field conversion is not permitted. The G9 burner must be ordered for the correct fuel type.
What is the BTU rating of the RD9-24?
The ceramic logs do not have an independent burner input rating. The compatible G9 burner for a 24-inch log configuration is rated up to 36,000 BTU/hr, with a 21,000 BTU/hr low setting on applicable Series 15 models.
What G9 control options are available?
The supplied product information identifies manual control, -12 remote On/Off control with standing pilot, and -15 variable flame-height remote control with standing pilot.
Does the RD9-24 include a remote?
No. Any remote, valve, pilot, or flame-height controls are part of the separately purchased G9 burner configuration.
Does the compatible G9 burner have an Oxygen Depletion Sensor?
Yes. The supplied G9 product information identifies an Oxygen Depletion Sensor safety pilot designed to shut the burner down before available room oxygen falls below the manufacturer's specified level.
Is the RD9-24 vent-free?
The RD9-24 is the decorative log component. The compatible G9 burner system is certified for qualifying unvented room-heater and vented decorative applications, subject to manufacturer instructions and local requirements.
Can the G9 system be installed in any fireplace?
No. It must be installed in a qualifying masonry fireplace, qualifying UL 127 factory-built fireplace, or listed ventless firebox enclosure that meets the manufacturer requirements.
How much room volume is required for a vent-free G9 installation?
The supplied instructions reference at least 50 cubic feet of room volume per 1,000 BTU/hr of aggregate gas-appliance input. A 36,000 BTU installation with no other gas-burning appliances therefore requires at least 1,800 cubic feet under the manufacturer's example.
What minimum sidewall and ceiling clearances are identified for the G9?
Where the fireplace manufacturer does not specify different requirements, the supplied G9 instructions identify at least 6 inches from each side of the fireplace opening to the sidewalls and at least 42 inches from the top of the fireplace opening to the ceiling.
Can the RD9-24 logs be arranged differently?
No custom arrangement is supported. The seven logs have prescribed positions and should be installed according to the manufacturer placement instructions.
Why is correct RD9-24 log placement important?
Incorrect placement can cause flame impingement, incomplete combustion, soot, or excessive combustion by-products. Properly installed logs should remain stable and positioned so flames do not strike them.
Can I add extra embers to the RD9-24?
No. Do not add additional embers beyond those specified by the manufacturer because extra material can interfere with proper burner operation.
Do fireplace glass doors need to remain open?
Yes. When a compatible G9 system is operated in a fireplace with glass doors, the doors must be fully open during operation.
Can the G9 system be used as the home's primary heat source?
No. The G9 owner's manual identifies the appliance for supplemental heating rather than as a primary heating source.
Can the G9 system be left operating unattended?
No. Real Fyre identifies the system as an attended appliance. Adults must be present during operation, and it should not be left burning unattended or while anyone is sleeping.
Does the RD9-24 require professional installation?
The G9 manufacturer instructions state that installation and repair should be performed by an NFI-certified or other qualified professional installer.
What other Golden Oak Designer sizes are available?
The supplied product information identifies 20-inch RD9-20, 24-inch RD9-24, and 30-inch RD9-30 sizes.
Are the standard and see-through RD9-24 installation instructions the same?
No. Standard and see-through configurations use separate manufacturer placement and burner instructions. Use the documents that correspond to the exact installation being completed.
