Vent-Free Gas Burners
Efficient flames without a flue—installed to code
Real Fyre vent-free (ventless) gas burners deliver warm, lively flames where a chimney isn’t practical. Engineered by RH Peterson, these systems are used in an approved vent-free firebox or in a wood-burning fireplace with the damper closed, as permitted by local code. When paired with matching Peterson gas logs—or approved contemporary media on compatible platforms — they create a convincing wood-fire look with steady, room-warming output.
Burners for compact to standard fireboxes
From small spaces to larger openings, Real Fyre offers a full vent-free lineup: the compact G8E (including bedroom-rated 9,500 BTU configurations where allowed), the G9 with an innovative reflective panel, plus G10, G18, G19A (see-through option in this family), G21 (designed for glass or spheres media), and G23 (pinned spheres). Series are generally available in 16–30-inch sizes with typical inputs in the ~20,000–40,000 BTU range, matched to the correct log or media set for proper flame dynamics.
Fuel and control choices
Most vent-free burners are offered for both natural gas and propane. Control options vary by series and size—common choices include Remote ON/OFF (with optional Bluetooth ON/OFF on compatible -12 valves) or variable-flame electronic systems for on-demand adjustment. Review the model-specific “What’s Included” and ignition chart to select the configuration that fits your firebox and code requirements.
