Tips

Why should I buy gas logs?
Gas logs create a beautiful fire that will liven up a party or enhance a relaxing, quiet atmosphere. Gas logs are convenient, easy to operate and require minimal maintenance.

What is a safety pilot?

A safety pilot prevents the flow of gas when the appliance is not in use.

What is required to use a remote control? And what is required to use a wall switch?
A remote control and/or wall switch requires a Millivolt valve system. The wall switch requires low voltage electrical wiring.

Can the glass doors on my fireplace be closed when my gas logs are burning?

No. You must leave the doors open when you are operating RealWood Elite gas logs to avoid damaging the controls.

Why do logs collect soot?

Sooting is a result of impingement caused by incomplete combustion, i.e. flames coming in contact with a surface, cooling the flame, and preventing combustion.

How do I clean my gas logs?

Never, ever wash your logs. Remove the logs carefully from the fireplace in a box, take them outside and use a soft brush or vacuum to clean them. Make sure that you put the logs back in the original arrangement.

With gas logs, do I need the damper open all the time?
A damper clamp will come standard with your gas log set and MUST be installed to maintain a small opening at all times. This allows for the escape of any pilot exhaust. When the logs are in use the damper must be fully open.

Light a Better Fire with Real-Fyre Gas Logs!

Real-Fyre gas logs are made of superior refactory ceramics, expanded shales and aggregates and use an advanced calcium aluminate binder. This combination of materials, pre-fired in a rotary kilm, provides: 

  • Grater Compressive Strength: Allowing finer detailing in the log making process without breaking or chipping, and producing a longer lasting log. Steel reinforcements add to its strength.
  • Better Rheology (flow rate): Meaning a beetter texture to the logs, fewer “bugholes”, better strength, and less water in the mix, for better consistency of product.
  • Higher Refactoriness: Real-Fyre refactory material has a Pyrometric Cone Equivalent of 2650 degrees(F), higher then any other log and higher PCE means better ability to withstand heat over time. Real-Fyre logs won’t break down.
  • Higher Bulk Density: Providing more radiant heat, both while in operation, and after the set has been turned off.
  • Radiant Heat Chamber: radiant heat chamber, available in some models, radiates more heat and provides a cleaner burn.
  • Lower Iron Content: Other materials have more iron. Iron turns to iron oxide and changes the color of logs. 

Peterson remote Control Systems and Saferty Pilot Kits provide safe, reliable & easy operation.

Peterson makes lighting and extinguishing Real-Fyre Gas Logs the ultimate in convenience. Control systems are easy to install and use no electricity. Built-in safety feature shuts off gas flow should pilot flame go out. All Peterson control systems utilize valves certified by CSA.

Remote Control Systems include wireless remote control, receiver, CSA certified safety valve, heat shield and pilot assembly.
