A considered specification. / Real Fyre
The venting choice comes before the log style. Start with your fireplace and your reason for buying, then compare the systems that can actually belong there.
01 / Open-chimney ambiance
Vented gas logs use a working chimney or the venting required by the listed system. They suit a buyer who wants the look of a fire in a suitable fireplace.
The cost: an open flue carries heat outside. Choose this for ambiance rather than as the home's main heat source.

02 / Supplemental room heat
Vent-free systems are designed for supplemental heat in an approved installation. Combustion products and moisture remain in the room during vent-free operation.
The cost: room suitability, air supply and local restrictions narrow where the system can be used. An open space alone does not prove suitability.
Explore vent-free collections ↗| Decision | Vented | Vent-free |
|---|---|---|
| Fireplace | Suitable listed fireplace with required operating venting | Approved firebox or fireplace; room and code review |
| Main reason to choose | Open-chimney flame and ambiance | Supplemental room heat |
| Trade-off | Heat escapes through required venting | Moisture and combustion products remain indoors |
| Before supply | Firebox dimensions, listing, chimney and damper provisions | Firebox listing, room volume, air supply and local restrictions |
| Fuel | Use the exact listed NG or LP model | Use only the fuel on the exact appliance rating |
| Logs and burners | Use a documented matching set | Use a documented matching set; media placement is model-specific |
Split Oak appears in both vented and vent-free collections, but the names describe a look. The log models and approved burner families differ. A set chosen for one system must not be moved to another because the nominal width happens to match.
The selector on each collection page uses documented component combinations from the manufacturer references. It does not certify that the appliance can be fitted in your home. That last decision needs the exact manual, the fireplace listing and the measurements.
