Hargrove: 21" Grand Oak See-Thru Log Set

Grand Oak logs laid out for a see-through fireplace, so both rooms see a finished fire.

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 See-Thru burner (sold separately).

Who It’s For

A see-through fireplace opens onto two rooms, and an ordinary log set only looks right from one of them: the back of the stack faces the other room. You want a fire that looks finished from both sides. The Hargrove Grand Oak See-Thru 21-inch set is for the homeowner with a working two-sided wood-burning fireplace, who wants a real-looking fire without hauling wood.

What Makes It Special

The Grand Oak has massive logs with deep bark texture and a fresh-cut appearance; it is one of the sets built on Hargrove’s original designs molded from real trees. This version is laid out as a see-through set, so the logs read from both openings.

It sits on Hargrove’s S-shaped See-Thru burner, which Hargrove recommends for its Fresh Cut, Charred, and Radiant Heat logs. The set belongs to Hargrove’s Fresh Cut styles: unburned, natural-looking logs in refractory material rated for more than 2000°F, reinforced with metal mesh, and hand painted one log at a time.

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. This set needs the matching Hargrove See-Thru burner.
• Check the firebox first. See-through sets need more depth than single-sided sets; the burner manual lists the minimum fireplace size for the 21-inch set.

If your fireplace opens onto two rooms and you want both to see a real-looking fire, the Hargrove Grand Oak See-Thru 21-inch set is the right decision. Both rooms get the good side of the fire.

Pair it with the matching Hargrove See-Thru burner in natural gas or propane, with the controls you prefer.
