Vented:

The two most popular Peterson Real-Fyre vented gas log burners are the G4 and the G45 and those are the models that we carry. It may be helpful to understand the differences between them to help you choose the right burner for your fireplace.

Glowing Coals Burner (G4 and GX4 Series)
This base model G4 burner is characterized by a single pipe running from left to right within the burner pan. Their are holes in the bottom of the pipe spanning the entire length of it for the gas to come from, providing maximum flame coverage. The silica sand spread over the pipe (vermiculite for LP applications) and the glowing embers atop that add depth to the flame so rather than just one wide row of flames, you get a more realistic flame pattern

Triple T Burner (G45 Series)
The G45 offers the same pipe burner as the G4 but adds a "T" shaped, extra front burner which accentuates front ember presentation and adds even more depth to the flame, while maximizing warmth. With this burner, you will see more glowing embers and a small row of front flames, again adding more realism for your fireplace.
