Majestic Radiant Vented Gas Log Set

The Majestic Radiant is a vented gas log set built around a radiant burner and the Duzy log sets, in 18/24 and 30 inch. Choose the burner size and ignition for your fireplace, then the log style; the price is the burner and logs together.

Who it's for

Right buyer. You have a wood-burning fireplace with a working chimney and a gas line and want the look of a wood fire without the work, from a match, a knob or a remote, with a Majestic burner sized to the firebox and the log style you like.

Wrong buyer. You want the fireplace to heat the room; vented logs send most of the heat up the chimney. Your fireplace is a direct-vent gas unit or a vent-free firebox; these burners cannot go in it.

How it performs

A vented gas log set is the way to keep an open wood fireplace and stop hauling wood: the burner sits on the grate under ceramic logs, the damper stays open, and the fire lights from a match, a knob or a remote depending on the burner you choose.

Good to know

• Vented logs are decorative: with the damper open, most of the heat goes up the chimney, and you feel radiant warmth in front of the fire.
• They go only in a wood-burning fireplace with a working chimney, never in a gas fireplace or a vent-free firebox.
• The burner must be sized to the firebox, and a match-light burner is not permitted in some cities.

Dimensions

Vented gas logs go into a wood-burning fireplace with a working chimney and a gas line. Measure the inside of the firebox: width at the front and back, depth and height. The burner size is the log length, and the firebox must be several inches wider and deeper than the burner; the exact minimums are in the burner's installation manual. Send us the numbers and we will check them before the order ships.

Which fireplaces the burners are made for

The RB radiant burners are Hearth & Home's approved burners for the Duzy log sets and for its own wood fireplaces, listed by model. In another fireplace the firebox must give the burner the room in the Duzy log-set manual linked below; send us the firebox width front and back, depth and height.

Clearances

A vented gas log set borrows the fireplace's own clearances: the mantel, hearth and side-wall rules of the wood-burning fireplace it goes into stay exactly as they were built and inspected. What the log set adds is the room the burner and the flames need inside the firebox, below, and three rules: the damper fixed fully open with the clamp supplied, glass doors open or removed whenever the burner runs, and nothing stored or draped within 3 feet of the front of the fireplace.

Firebox room for the burner. Majestic sizes each burner to a firebox width: the 18-inch burners need a firebox wider than 18 inches at the back, the 24-inch wider than 24, the 30-inch wider than 30, with the flame kept off the walls and the front of the burner behind the hearth line. The exact minimums are in the installation manual linked below, and we check every order against them; send the firebox width at the front and at the back, the depth and the height.

Ignition

Match light burners have no valve of their own: you light them with a long match and set the flame with the fireplace's key valve. Safety pilot burners add a standing pilot and a valve at the burner, so the gas shuts off if the pilot goes out. Electronic (IPI) burners have no standing pilot; they light from the remote and include a battery-powered control. The burner part number tells you which one it is, and the table above prices each.

Installation

Planning the install

• For wood-burning fireplaces only, with a chimney in good repair. The damper must be fixed open whenever the burner runs.
• Installation is by a licensed gas installer. Match-light burners are not allowed in some cities; check with your building department.
• Every burner is made for natural gas or propane. These pages are natural gas; add a note to your order for propane and we will confirm the LP burner before it ships.
• Once gas logs are installed, do not burn wood in the fireplace.
