Important: Log Set Only – Burner Not Included
The CHD-24 is the decorative gas log set only. A compatible Peterson Real Fyre vented burner, valve, ignition system, and applicable controls are separate components.
Burners may appear in product imagery for demonstration purposes but are not included with this log set.
Deeply Charred Oak Styling for a Traditional Vented Gas Fireplace
The Real Fyre Charred Series is modeled from real wood samples to reproduce the texture, coloration, and burned appearance of naturally charred wood.
The CHD-24 gives a compatible vented gas fireplace a traditional 24-inch log presentation using seven individually positioned refractory logs.
Correct placement is more than cosmetic. The manufacturer uses a prescribed log arrangement to maintain appropriate spacing, support the intended flame pattern, and reduce excessive flame impingement and soot.
Compatibility first: The CHD-24 is not a universal gas-log replacement. It must be paired with an appropriate Peterson Real Fyre vented burner and valve system.

Burner Compatibility & Requirements
Real Fyre requires the Charred Oak log set to be used with Peterson Real Fyre burners and valves.
Do not install CHD-24 on an unrelated burner or valve system. The manufacturer warns that non-approved burner and valve combinations can create an unsafe condition and affect applicable listings, certifications, and warranty coverage.
Compatibility requirement: Select the burner first, then verify that CHD-24 is appropriate for that burner, fireplace dimensions, fuel, controls, and venting arrangement.
Ember & Placement Requirements by Burner Family
G4 & G45 Series
Follow the applicable burner owner's manual for use and installation of the ember screen and glowing embers.
G46 & P Series
The CHD placement instructions state that the screen and embers supplied with the log set are not applicable and should not be used for these configurations.
G31 Series
Do not use the standard CHD placement sequence. Follow the dedicated G31 supplemental log-placement instructions.
Using the CHD-24 with a Real Fyre G31 Burner
The CHD-24 can be configured with an applicable Real Fyre G31 3-Tiered vented gas burner system.
The G31 burner remains a separate product and is not included with the CHD-24 log set.
G31 placement exception: When CHD-24 is used on a G31 burner, disregard the standard CHD placement sequence and use the G31 supplemental instructions instead.

Before You Buy the Real Fyre CHD-24
Confirm Before Purchase
- You need a 24-inch vented Charred Oak gas log set.
- You have or will purchase an appropriate Peterson Real Fyre vented burner.
- You have or will purchase the applicable Real Fyre valve/control system.
- Your fireplace meets the dimensional requirements of that burner.
- Your chimney, flue, and damper meet the burner-system venting requirements.
- You understand that the burner is not included with CHD-24.
- You will use the placement instructions appropriate to the selected burner family.
- Adequate ventilation and proper spacing between logs can be maintained.
Do Not Assume
- That CHD-24 fits any gas burner.
- That the burner, valve, pilot, ignition, or remote is included.
- That the included ember screen is used with every burner family.
- That the standard CHD placement sequence applies to G31.
- That BTU ratings belong to the logs themselves.
- That the logs determine whether the system uses Natural Gas or Propane.
Installation & Ventilation Requirements
Adequate ventilation is required for the CHD-24 when installed as part of an approved Real Fyre vented burner system.
Proper spacing between logs must be maintained to support combustion and help minimize excessive soot.
Some carbon buildup can occur where flame contacts a log. Continued black carbon accumulation indicates incomplete combustion or excessive flame contact and requires correction of the log arrangement.
If significant soot continues: Discontinue operation and correct the installation according to the manufacturer instructions.
If soot appears outside the firebox: Turn the system off and contact a qualified professional service technician.
G31 Installation Requirements
When CHD-24 is used with a G31 burner, the G31 system must be installed in a compatible solid-fuel / wood-burning fireplace with a working flue and noncombustible construction.
Working Flue Required
The fireplace must provide the venting specified by the G31 manufacturer instructions.
Damper Fully Open
The chimney damper must remain fully open whenever the G31 burner is operating.
Damper Clamp
A damper clamp is used as part of the G31 installation to prevent complete closure of the damper.
Professional Installation
G31 burner installation and service must be performed by a qualified professional installer, service agency, or gas supplier.
G31 Fireplace Glass Door Requirements
If the G31 burner is installed in a fireplace with glass doors, the doors must remain fully open while the burner is operating.
If the glass-door frame restricts airflow along the fireplace floor, the frame must provide adequate ventilation.
CHD-24 Log Placement
Correct log placement is critical to proper flame appearance and combustion.
The standard CHD-24 placement diagram uses a specific seven-log sequence beginning with the rear and front logs and then positioning the remaining upper logs to create the finished Charred Oak arrangement.
Adequate openings must remain between the logs. Limited adjustment of upper logs is permitted only when adequate spacing is maintained and significant sooting does not occur.
G31 exception: If CHD-24 is installed on a G31 burner, do not use the standard CHD placement sequence. Follow the G31 supplemental instructions instead.
Important Safety Information
Approved Burner Only
Use only appropriate Peterson Real Fyre burners and valves with CHD-24.
Maintain Ventilation
Adequate fireplace and chimney ventilation must be maintained during operation.
Maintain Log Spacing
Keep the spacing required by the applicable log-placement instructions.
Watch for Excessive Soot
Persistent black carbon buildup indicates a combustion or log-positioning issue.
Do Not Handle Hot Logs
Allow the refractory logs adequate cooling time before touching or repositioning them.
Follow Both Manuals
Use the CHD-24 placement instructions together with the manual for the selected burner system.
Charred Oak Vented Gas Log Set Available Sizes
Flame Authority Expert Recommendation
Choose the Real Fyre CHD-24 when you want a deeply charred, traditional 24-inch oak log appearance and already have or plan to purchase a compatible Peterson Real Fyre vented burner system.
The most important buying decision is burner compatibility. The CHD-24 does not determine fuel type, BTU output, pilot type, ignition system, or remote operation. Those specifications come from the burner and controls selected separately.
For standard G4, G45, G46, or P-Series installations, follow the instructions applicable to that burner family. If the CHD-24 will be installed on a G31 burner, use the dedicated G31 supplemental instructions instead of the standard CHD placement sequence.
Before ordering, verify the log size, burner family, fireplace dimensions, venting, valve/control system, and required ember configuration.
