Real Fyre 30" Charred Frontier Oak Gas Log Set – CHFR-30
The Real Fyre 30" Charred Frontier Oak Gas Log Set CHFR-30 brings the appearance of naturally burned oak into a larger compatible fireplace installation. Part of the Real Fyre G10 Series, this handcrafted seven-piece refractory ceramic log set features detailed bark texture, natural coloring, charred surfaces, steel reinforcement, and the distinctive burnt-through front log design associated with the Charred Frontier Oak collection.
The CHFR-30 includes the 30-inch Charred Frontier Oak decorative logs only. A compatible Peterson Real Fyre G10 burner system is required and purchased separately.
The burner shown in product imagery is not included.
Large-Scale Charred Oak Styling for the Real Fyre G10 System
The CHFR-30 is designed for larger fireplace openings where a substantial 30-inch gas-log presentation is desired.
Its sculpted bark surfaces, charred detailing, natural coloration, and burnt-through front log reproduce the layered look of oak that has weathered and burned over time.
When arranged according to the manufacturer instructions over a compatible G10-24/30 burner, the seven logs create openings through the stack that support the intended flame movement and ember-bed presentation.

Why Choose the Real Fyre CHFR-30?
30-Inch Fireplace Presence
The larger nominal size creates a broad decorative log presentation for fireplaces that can accommodate the G10-24/30 platform.
Charred Frontier Oak Styling
Detailed bark, darkened surfaces, natural coloration, and a burnt-through front log recreate the appearance of heavily burned oak.
Seven-Piece Configuration
The manufacturer identifies seven individual log positions for the 30-inch CHFR-30 arrangement.
Refractory Ceramic
The logs are constructed from refractory ceramic material designed for the heat generated by a compatible gas burner.
Steel Reinforcement
The supplied product information identifies steel reinforcement rods within the refractory logs for added strength.
Radiant Heat Retention
The heated refractory material continues releasing stored heat for a period after the burner is shut down.
G10 Burner Compatibility Is Required
The CHFR-30 must be used with a Peterson Real Fyre G10 burner system.
For the 30-inch Charred Frontier Oak configuration, the compatible burner platform is the G10-24/30.
The Logs Do Not Determine Fuel, BTU Output or Controls
CHFR-30 identifies the decorative refractory log set. Operating specifications come from the separately purchased G10 burner.
Fuel Type
Natural Gas or Propane is determined by the selected G10 burner configuration.
BTU Output
The compatible G10-24/30 burner provides the heat input, not the ceramic logs.
Ignition
Manual, standing-pilot, or electronic ignition depends on the selected burner/control package.
Remote Control
Remote functionality depends on the chosen G10 control configuration.
Safety Pilot
The compatible G10 burner incorporates the applicable ODS safety system.
Fireplace Requirements
Minimum dimensions and installation conditions come from the G10 burner instructions.

Flame Authority Expert Recommendation
Choose the Real Fyre CHFR-30 when you want the largest Charred Frontier Oak option in this series and already have or plan to purchase a compatible Real Fyre G10-24/30 burner.
Its 30-inch scale, seven-log arrangement, heavily charred oak styling, burnt-through front log, refractory ceramic construction, steel reinforcement, and G10-specific positioning 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, correct G10 burner, correct Natural Gas or Propane configuration, desired control system, and permitted vent-free or vented installation type.
Do not select CHFR-30 only because your fireplace appears large enough. The G10 dimensions and installation conditions must be satisfied before ordering.
