Hargrove: 18" Sierra Pinnacle Log Set - Short Stack

A two-level stack of detailed fiber logs for a standard-height or shallow fireplace.

Quick Facts

• Heating Capacity: Designed for ambiance, not as a heat source.
• Fuel: Natural gas or propane, set by the burner kit you choose.
• Controls: Chosen with the burner: manual safety pilot, on/off or variable-flame remote, or electronic ignition.
• Burner: Hargrove Pinnacle burner (sold separately).

Who It’s For

Rumford fireplaces are tall and shallow, and a standard log set sits low in the opening with empty space above it. You want a fire that fills the height of the opening. The Hargrove Sierra Pinnacle 18-inch set is for the homeowner with a standard-height or shallow wood-burning fireplace who wants a real-looking fire without the wood.

What Makes It Special

The Sierra Stack is the short-peak stack in Hargrove’s Pinnacle Series, made for standard-height fireplaces. The logs are detailed ceramic fiber, molded with a process that holds detail older fiber logs could not.

It runs on the Pinnacle burner, a two-level, sandless burner, and Hargrove says the series can go into shallow fireplaces.

Hargrove backs the logs with a limited lifetime warranty in the fireplace they were first installed in, the burner and grate for five years, and valves and remotes for two.

Possible Downsides

• It is for ambiance, not heat. The damper stays open while it burns, so most of the warmth goes up the chimney.
• The burner is sold separately. Plan on the 18-inch Pinnacle burner.
• Glass doors stay open while it burns. Hargrove’s manual requires the fireplace doors fully open whenever the logs are lit.

If your fireplace is shallow and ordinary sets look wrong in it, the Hargrove Sierra Pinnacle 18-inch set is the right decision. The fire finally fills the opening it was built for.

Pair it with the 18-inch Hargrove Pinnacle burner in natural gas or propane. The Everest Stack is the taller option.
