Real Fyre 30" Charred Aged Split Gas Log Set – CHAS-30
The Real Fyre 30" Charred Aged Split Gas Log Set CHAS-30 recreates the appearance of naturally aged, split, and charred firewood in a large-format seven-piece refractory ceramic arrangement. Designed specifically for a compatible Peterson Real Fyre G10 burner system, the CHAS-30 combines detailed bark textures, natural coloration, charred surfaces, steel reinforcement, and manufacturer-prescribed positioning for the intended flame presentation.
The CHAS-30 includes the 30-inch Charred Aged Split decorative log set only. The Peterson Real Fyre G10 burner shown in product imagery is not included and must be purchased separately.
Large Charred Split-Wood Styling for the Real Fyre G10 System
The CHAS-30 is the largest listed size in the Charred Aged Split series and is designed for larger compatible fireplace openings.
Its irregular split surfaces, bark textures, aged coloration, and dark charred detailing recreate the appearance of firewood that has naturally weathered and burned.
The seven refractory ceramic logs are positioned over the compatible G10-24/30 burner in a prescribed arrangement that creates depth while maintaining the spacing required for the intended flame pattern and combustion characteristics.

Why Choose the Real Fyre CHAS-30?
30-Inch Charred Aged Split Design
The largest listed CHAS size creates a substantial fireplace presentation in compatible fireboxes.
Seven-Log Arrangement
The manufacturer specifies seven individual logs for the 30-inch configuration.
Realistic Wood Detailing
High-definition bark texture, natural coloration, split surfaces, and charred detailing recreate aged firewood.
Refractory Ceramic Construction
The logs are designed for the elevated temperatures associated with a compatible gas-fireplace burner system.
Steel Reinforcement
Steel rods incorporated into the logs provide additional internal structural support.
Radiant Heat Characteristics
The ceramic logs absorb and radiate heat during operation and retain heat for a period after shutdown.
G10 Burner Compatibility Is Required
The CHAS-30 is designed specifically for use with a Peterson Real Fyre G10 burner system.
For the 30-inch configuration, the applicable burner platform is the G10-24/30.
The Logs Do Not Determine Fuel, BTU Output or Controls
The CHAS-30 is the decorative refractory log component. Operating specifications are determined by the separately purchased G10 burner system.
Fuel Type
Natural Gas or Propane depends on the selected G10 burner configuration.
BTU Output
The G10 burner produces the heat input; the ceramic logs do not have an independent burner rating.
Ignition
Manual, standing-pilot, or electronic ignition depends on the selected burner/control configuration.
Remote Control
Remote operation depends on the specific G10 control package.
ODS Safety Pilot
The compatible G10 burner incorporates the Oxygen Depletion Sensor safety system.
Fireplace Requirements
Minimum dimensions and operating requirements are determined by the G10 installation instructions.

- Allow flames to strike the logs.
- Add additional embers.
- Ignore persistent soot buildup.

Do Not Add Additional Embers
Real Fyre specifically warns against adding extra embers to the CHAS-30 arrangement.
What to Do if Soot Develops
Black carbon or soot can indicate incomplete combustion or incorrect log positioning.

Soot Outside the Firebox
Turn the system off immediately and contact a qualified professional service technician.
G10 Oxygen Depletion Sensor Safety System

A vent-free G10 installation requires adequate combustion and ventilation air.
The manufacturer's manual defines an unconfined space as one providing at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU/hr of the combined input rating of gas appliances installed in the space.
If the available room volume does not meet the applicable requirement, additional combustion and ventilation air must be provided according to the G10 manual and applicable codes.
Important G10 Operating Requirements
No Solid Fuel
Do not burn wood or other solid fuel in the fireplace while the vent-free gas appliance is installed.
Glass Doors Fully Open
Fireplace glass doors must remain fully open during vent-free operation.
Avoid Direct Drafts
Do not allow fans or HVAC airflow to blow directly into or around the fireplace during operation.
Keep Flammables Away
Keep combustible materials, gasoline, and flammable vapors or liquids away from the fireplace.
Supplemental Heating
The G10 is intended for supplemental heating rather than primary home heating.
Attended Appliance
Do not leave the burner operating unattended or while anyone is sleeping.
Maintenance Requirements
The compatible G10 burner must be kept clean and properly maintained.
Annual Professional Service
The manufacturer requires inspection and service at least annually by a qualified professional service technician.
Burner Ports
Burner ports must remain clean and unobstructed.
ODS Pilot
The Oxygen Depletion Sensor pilot must remain clean and in proper operating condition.
Air Openings
Keep combustion and circulating-air passages clear.
Dust & Lint
Remove dust, lint, pet hair, and debris that could obstruct burner operation.

Flame Authority Expert Recommendation
Choose the Real Fyre CHAS-30 when you want the largest Charred Aged Split log-set option and already have or plan to purchase a compatible Real Fyre G10-24/30 burner system.
Its 30-inch scale, seven-log arrangement, aged split-wood styling, charred detailing, refractory ceramic construction, steel reinforcement, and G10-specific placement make it well suited to larger compatible fireplace openings.
The most important buying step is verifying fit. Confirm the 34" minimum front width, 20" rear width, 14" depth, 17" height, compatible G10 burner, correct Natural Gas or Propane configuration, selected control system, and permitted installation type.
Do not choose CHAS-30 based only on its nominal log length. Correct G10 sizing, burner compatibility, ventilation, and log placement are essential to proper operation.

Real Fyre CHAS-30 FAQs
What is the Real Fyre CHAS-30?
The CHAS-30 is a 30-inch, seven-piece Charred Aged Split refractory ceramic gas log set designed for a compatible Peterson Real Fyre G10 burner system.
Does the Real Fyre CHAS-30 include the burner?

What is the BTU rating for the compatible G10 burner?
The compatible G10-24/30 burner is listed at up to 37,000 BTU for both Natural Gas and Propane. A 19,000 BTU low setting applies to applicable -01V and -15 variable-control configurations.
Is the CHAS-30 for Natural Gas or Propane?
The ceramic CHAS-30 logs themselves are not fuel-specific. Natural Gas or Propane compatibility is determined by the separately selected G10 burner.
Can the G10 burner be converted between Natural Gas and Propane?
No. The G10 manual states that field conversion is not permitted. Order the burner for the correct fuel type.
What G10 control options are available?
The supplied source identifies manual control, -15 remote variable flame-height control, and -01V remote variable flame-height control with electronic ignition and an on-demand pilot.
Does CHAS-30 include a remote?
No. Any remote, ignition, valve, or pilot functionality comes from the separately purchased G10 burner/control configuration.
Does CHAS-30 log placement matter?
Yes. The bottom logs must be fully seated and the remaining logs must follow the manufacturer's prescribed arrangement. Incorrect placement can cause flame impingement, improper combustion, or soot.
Can I rearrange the CHAS-30 logs?

Turn the system off immediately and contact a qualified professional service technician.
Does the compatible G10 burner have an Oxygen Depletion Sensor?
Yes. The compatible G10 burner incorporates an ODS safety pilot designed to shut the burner down before oxygen falls below the manufacturer's specified threshold.

No. The manufacturer identifies qualifying solid-fuel-burning masonry fireplaces, qualifying UL-127 factory-built fireplaces, and listed ventless firebox enclosures. The fireplace must meet the applicable G10 requirements.
How much room volume is required for a vent-free G10 installation?
The manufacturer's manual uses a minimum of 50 cubic feet of room volume per 1,000 BTU/hr of combined appliance input to define an unconfined space. Other gas appliances in the same space must also be considered.
Can the G10 system be used as primary heat?
No. The compatible vent-free appliance is intended for supplemental heating rather than as a primary heating source.
Can the G10 burner be left operating unattended?
No. Do not leave the burner operating unattended or while anyone is sleeping.
