Grand Canyon: Arizona Weathered Oak Charred See-Through Gas Log Set 18in

Arizona Weathered Oak Charred logs arranged to look right from both sides of the fireplace.

Quick Facts

• Heating Capacity: Designed for ambiance, not as a heat source.
• Fuel: Natural gas or propane, set by the burner you choose.
• Controls: Set by the burner system you choose: a remote with on and off, a remote with an adjustable flame, or a manual safety-pilot valve.
• Logs: 8 pieces, 18″

Who It’s For

A see-through fireplace shows the fire in two rooms, and a log set built for one face leaves the other room looking at the back of the stack. You need logs and a burner laid out for two open sides. The Grand Canyon Arizona Weathered Oak Charred 18-inch see-through set is for the home with a working see-through wood-burning fireplace that wants a real-looking gas fire from either side. Gas logs are about the fire you see, not heat.

What Makes It Special

Grand Canyon’s log hunters hand-picked the logs, burned the front logs right in half, and molded them, so the set looks like a fire that has already burned down to deep, blackened wood.

The set is eight logs made for the 18-inch see-through 2-burner or 3-burner, so the stack reads as a wood fire from both rooms. Grand Canyon casts each log in high-temperature concrete with ceramic refractory and stainless-steel fiber mesh, then hand paints it. Logs installed indoors carry a lifetime warranty; logs installed outside carry a five-year warranty.

You pick how it lights with the burner system: an on-and-off remote, a remote that turns the flame up and down while a small pilot stays lit, battery ignition, or a manual valve.

Possible Downsides

• It is for ambiance, not heat. Most of the warmth goes up the chimney.
• It needs a see-through burner. The set is laid out for Grand Canyon’s 18-inch see-through burner, which is sold separately; for a single-sided fireplace, look at the front-view Arizona Weathered Oak Charred set.

If your fireplace opens to two rooms and you want both to see a real-looking fire, the Grand Canyon Arizona Weathered Oak Charred 18-inch see-through set is the right decision. Both rooms get the same fire, and neither one feels like the back side.

Pair the logs with the 18-inch see-through 2-burner or 3-burner in natural gas or propane, and choose the control system you prefer.
