Frequently Asked Questions

  • The fireplace's middle width must be at least 19 inches and the depth must be at least 13 inches for this set to fit. The G21 burner itself measures only 10½ inches front-to-back, making it well-suited for smaller or shallower enclosures. Always verify your firebox dimensions against the owner's manual, as minimum fireplace size requirements apply to indoor installations.

  • The 18-inch G21 delivers up to 30,000 BTUs on natural gas or 27,000 BTUs on liquid propane. For indoor installations, the maximum BTU allowed is calculated using the formula: Length × Width × Height × 20, which you can find detailed in the owner's manual. This makes it important to size the burner appropriately to your room's cubic footage.

  • No — the fire glass is not included and must be purchased separately. The 18-inch G21 burner requires approximately 7.5 lbs of fire glass or Fyre Gems to operate properly. You can choose from a wide variety of styles including regular fire glass, reflective fire glass, Fyre Gems, and Diamond Nuggets in multiple colors.

  • The G21 is an ANSI-certified system that comes pre-assembled with a remote control valve and an Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS), which automatically shuts off the burner if oxygen levels in the room drop to an unsafe level. It also includes a standing pilot for reliable ignition, and an optional Bluetooth control kit is available for smartphone operation. The manufacturer warns that the unit must not be used with blower inserts or any accessory not specifically certified for vent-free use.

  • The Real Fyre vent-free burner itself carries a 10-year limited warranty, while the fire glass and Fyre Gems are covered by a 5-year warranty. Valves, pilots, and controls are covered by a 1-year limited warranty, excluding batteries. The manufacturer also specifies that using non-Real Fyre controls, parts, or accessories will void all warranties, certifications, and building code approvals.
