Traditional Split-Oak Styling for a Real Fyre Vented Burner System
The SDP-24 is designed for homeowners who want the layered appearance of naturally split firewood combined with the convenience and flame presentation of a compatible Real Fyre gas burner.
Its seven-piece arrangement builds visual depth across the fireplace, while high-definition bark detailing and natural coloration help recreate the character of real split oak.
The logs are manufactured from refractory ceramic material and reinforced internally with steel to help maintain structural integrity in the high-temperature environment of a gas fireplace.
Compatibility first: The SDP-24 is not a complete burner-and-log package and should not be treated as a universal replacement log set. The burner family, fuel, controls, fireplace dimensions, and venting requirements must all be verified separately.

SDP-24 Seven-Log Placement
The Real Fyre SDP-24 uses a dedicated seven-log arrangement. Correct positioning is important for flame presentation, combustion, and controlling excessive soot.
The front and rear logs establish the base of the installation. The remaining logs are then positioned over that base according to the manufacturer's prescribed sequence.
1. Rear Base Log
SDPL-20BR establishes the rear foundation of the log arrangement.
2. Front Base Log
SDPL-24BF forms the front foundation of the seven-log stack.
3. Upper Log
SDPL-15T is positioned according to the dedicated SDP-24 placement diagram.
4. Upper Log
SDPL-12T occupies its prescribed position over the base logs.
5. Upper Log
SDPL-13T contributes to the layered split-oak appearance.
6. Upper Log
SDPL-10T must remain positioned to preserve the intended flame openings.
7. Upper Log
SDPL-11T completes the manufacturer-defined SDP-24 arrangement.
Do not simply stack the logs wherever they fit. Follow the dedicated Split Oak Designer Plus placement instructions whenever installing or repositioning the SDP-24.
Why Correct Log Placement Matters
Correct Installation
- Follow the manufacturer-prescribed seven-log sequence.
- Maintain adequate openings between logs.
- Make sure the base logs are correctly positioned and stable.
- Keep the upper logs securely seated.
- Monitor flame contact and soot after installation.
- Reposition top logs only according to manufacturer guidance if required to reduce excessive flame contact.
Do Not
- Create a custom stack for appearance alone.
- Block the intended flame openings.
- Ignore continued black soot accumulation.
- Operate with unstable or incorrectly positioned logs.
- Handle hot refractory logs immediately after shutdown.
Fireplace & Installation Requirements
The SDP-24 does not have one universal firebox-size requirement independent of the burner. Installation requirements are determined by the exact compatible burner and control configuration.
Before installation, verify:
Compatible Burner
Confirm that the exact G4, G45, G45 Stainless Steel, or G46 configuration supports the SDP-24.
Burner Size
Verify the appropriate burner size for the 24-inch decorative log set.
Fuel Type
The available gas supply must match the selected burner configuration.
Fireplace Dimensions
Verify front width, rear width, depth, and height against the exact burner manual.
Chimney & Flue
The fireplace must provide the working venting required for the selected vented burner.
Professional Installation
Installation and service should be performed by qualified professional personnel as required by the applicable burner instructions.
Vented Fireplace & Chimney Requirements
The SDP-24 is intended for a vented gas-log application.
Compatible Real Fyre vented burner systems are designed for installation in an appropriate solid-fuel-burning fireplace with a working flue and noncombustible construction.
Damper requirement: Compatible Real Fyre vented burner instructions require the chimney damper to remain fully open while the gas burner is operating.
Because vented gas-log burners are designed to produce yellow decorative flames, adequate fireplace and chimney ventilation must be maintained whenever the system is operating.
Flame Contact & Soot Management
Some carbon buildup can occur where yellow flame contacts the decorative logs.
Continued or excessive soot accumulation can indicate that upper logs are restricting the intended flame openings or receiving too much direct flame contact.
If soot continues: Recheck the SDP-24 placement instructions and reposition the applicable upper logs according to manufacturer guidance to provide additional openings for the flames.
If significant sooting continues after correction: Stop using the gas-log system and contact a qualified professional service technician.
Hot Surface & Handling Precautions
The refractory ceramic logs become hot during operation and remain hot after the burner has been shut off.
Burn hazard: Allow adequate time for the logs to cool before handling or repositioning them. Use appropriate heat-resistant gloves when handling is necessary.

Flame Authority Expert Recommendation
Choose the Real Fyre SDP-24 when you want a traditional 24-inch split-oak presentation and already have or plan to purchase a compatible Real Fyre G4, G45, G45 Stainless Steel, or G46 vented burner system.
Its seven-piece layout, detailed bark texture, natural wood-inspired coloration, refractory ceramic construction, steel reinforcement, and burner-specific placement make it a strong decorative option for a properly vented fireplace.
The most important buying consideration is the burner. Before ordering, verify the exact burner family, burner size, fuel type, control configuration, fireplace dimensions, chimney and damper condition, gas supply, and SDP-24 compatibility.
Do not choose the SDP-24 based only on its 24-inch nominal size. The required installation space is determined by the burner system used with the logs.

Can I use the SDP-24 with a non-Real Fyre burner?
No. The manufacturer's Split Oak Designer Plus instructions specify use with Peterson Real Fyre burners and valves.
Why is correct SDP-24 log placement important?
Correct placement helps maintain adequate openings between the logs, proper combustion, and the intended flame presentation. Improper positioning can contribute to excessive flame contact and soot.
Can the SDP-24 logs be arranged differently?
Real Fyre provides a prescribed placement sequence that should be followed. Some upper-log adjustment may be necessary if continued soot indicates excessive flame contact, but manufacturer spacing and ventilation requirements must still be maintained.
What should I do if soot develops on the SDP-24 logs?
Some carbon can occur where yellow flames contact the logs. If soot continues to accumulate, recheck the placement instructions and adjust the top logs according to manufacturer guidance to create additional flame openings.
