Red Oak logs on a vent-free burner, with the remote in the box.

Quick Facts

• Fuel: Natural gas or propane, set by the burner you choose; the burner is not field-convertible.
• Controls: Remote included with every Grand Canyon vent-free burner; on and off or a variable flame, depending on the burner.
• Logs: 10 pieces, 30″

Who It’s For

Some fireplaces sit unused because burning wood is more work than the evening is worth. You need a fire that starts with a button and looks like oak. The Grand Canyon Red Oak 30-inch vent-free set is for the homeowner who wants red oak logs on Grand Canyon’s vent-free burner, sized for a larger firebox. A vented log set is the alternative when your fireplace has a working chimney and the look is all you are after.

What Makes It Special

It is ten red oak logs, cast in high-temperature concrete with ceramic refractory and stainless-steel fiber mesh and hand painted. Grand Canyon rates the burner as a supplemental heater: because no vent is required, the heat from the fire stays in the room.

The logs are made for Grand Canyon’s Vulcan vent-free burner only. The 30-inch set runs on the 24/30-inch burner, which comes factory-mounted with its valve, pilot with an oxygen depletion sensor, and ignition, and every model includes a remote. Indoor logs and burners carry a lifetime warranty; valves and remotes carry two years.

Possible Downsides

• The burner is sold separately. This set needs the Grand Canyon 24/30-inch vent-free burner.
• Vent-free is not allowed everywhere. The manual says to check local and state codes first; the burner is also certified as a vented appliance where vent-free is not permitted.
• It uses the air in the room. The manual requires adequate combustion and ventilation air for the room it is in.

If you want an oak fire with a remote in the box and warmth that stays in the room, the Grand Canyon Red Oak 30-inch vent-free set is the right decision. The fireplace that used to wait for a weekend now runs on any weeknight you like.

Pair the logs with the 24/30-inch vent-free burner in natural gas or propane; the same burner also takes the Weathered Oak, Split Oak, or Aspen Birch sets.
