| Peterson Real-Fyre vented gas logs are available in many different styles. Each is a beauty in its own way and with so many choices, it may be hard to narrow your selection down to just one set. To help choose the best set for your home, it may be helpful to understand the differences between their three series of vented gas logs - Classic, Designer and Charred.
|
| Classic - The entry level to Peterson gas logs. The Classic look that made Peterson famous. Simple styling that's ruggedly handsome and environmental friendly. |
![]() |
| Designer- The same rugged look of the Classic Peterson logs but with more natural color and bark details. Notice with the Designer series, the ends of the logs and the split pieces are a different color than the bark giving a much more realistic appearance. |
![]() |
| Charred- The Charred series offers the ruggedness of all Peterson logs, the color and detail of the Designer series and amazing burned through realism. Enjoy the beauty of the burned through front log to see more flames and embers and give the appearance of a fire that has been burning all day |

Peterson Real-Fyre Control System BreakdownFingertip control that’s easy & reliable!Real-Fyre Remote Control Systems are designed to provide the ultimate in convenient and reliable lighting of Real-Fyre Gas Log Sets. With a number of optional remote control features available, these systems come with a gas valve, pilot assembly (for instant lighting), basic remote receiver and transmitter, and protective heat shield. All our control systems use valves certified to ANSI Standards. The SPK/APK/EPK Control Systems are easy to install, use no electricity, increase air flow to the valve, have heat shielding for greater protection, and include a built-in safety feature that shuts off gas flow should the pilot flame go out. All our control systems are certified to ANSI Standards for Natural and Propane gas. |

| Since all Peterson remote will not work with every pilot kit, the compatibility chart below should help explain which remote work with which valves. In years past, you had to choose the remote depending upon which valve you wanted. Keep in mind that new for 2006, all Peterson remote pilot kits now come with a basic remote transmitter and receiver, greatly simplifying your control system decision*.
* If you choose a control system that comes with a basic remote and you decide to purchase a deluxe remote as well, you will end up with both the basic and the deluxe remote. At this time, Peterson does not make any remote pilot kits that come with a deluxe remote. Due to certain BTU restrictions, not every pilot kit can be used with every size burner. See the remote breakdown, the remote/ pilot kit compatibility chart and the pilot kit/ burner configuration compatibility chart below to determine which control system is right for you and your fireplace. |

Another consideration is the location of the gas supply line. In most fireplaces the gas supply enters from the side wall. Entering from the floor can be problematic if in the center of the fireplace. Your installer may need to break pieces of your fireplace floor in order to access the gas pipe and route it to the side.

FPB55 Flat Pan burners are made for the Sierra Pine log sets. They feature a burner within a pan enclosed on all sides, holding the glowing embers inside rather than them sprawling out like the more popular burners. They are certified to ANSI standards and are not available in see-thru configurations.
