Hargrove's Radiant Heat series logs redefine the role of a vented gas log set.  Radiant Heat series logs are available in two models, the Vesta-award winning Cross Timbers and our latest refinement, Rustic Timbers.
Vented gas logs are usually considered a decorative appliance, as their primary function is to provide the most realistic recreation of a natural wood fire, while replacing the drawbacks of burning wood with the safety and convenience of gas.

Vent-free gas logs typically provide more radiant heat than a traditional vented log set, but must be designed to burn much more cleanly than vented, thus compromising a great deal of their realism.

Normally, consumers are forced to choose between the increased heating capability of vent-free and the greater realism of vented gas logs.

With Hargrove's Radiant Heat series log sets, you no longer have to choose heat over realism - you can have the finest log set available and all the heat you want.

Cross Timbers features substantial front logs, heavy bark, abundant charring and warm glow deep within the heart of the log set, for a striking look.

Rustic Timbers' mix of large and small logs pushes the glow up front, showcasing dark charring and colorful split wood textures, while combining a variety of uniquely shaped logs into each set.

Unlike most Hargrove logs, Radiant Heat series logs are made from ceramic fiber.

Hargrove has developed a revolutionary new molding process, which captures all the detail you expect from Hargrove, but was previously unattainable with ceramic fiber logs.

Ceramic fiber contributes to the outstanding radiant heating characteristics of both log models in this series and also adds a warm, natural glow to many areas of the fire, further enhancing the set's realism.
Our Radiant Riser™ technology directs the heat from the Hargrove burner forward and out into the room, creating radiant heat output comparable to vent-free, with the natural beauty of vented logs.

Cross Timbers and Rustic Timbers use Radiant Riser™ technology, and are designed to complement any standard Hargrove vented log burner system.
Hargrove's combination of ceramic fiber, the Radiant Riser™ and careful craftsmanship blend to create a beautifully detailed log set with incredible realism and much greater heating efficiency than other vented gas log designs.

Rustic Timbers' updated design yields even greater efficiency, for an increase of approximately 10% over Cross Timbers' outstanding performance.
Cross Timbers won the prestigious Vesta award for Gas Logs at the 2007 HPBExpo.

The Vesta Awards are presented by Hearth & Home Magazine to recognize and honor innovative new products and technology.

30 judges, selected from the ranks of the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue industries, reviewed products in 21 categories and selected Cross Timbers as the winner of the Gas Logs category.
 
Burner Systems
 
Hargrove's vented gas log burner systems use the finest quality materials for years of trouble-free operation.  The heart of the gas log set is the Ember Burner.  Built with a heavy, 16 gauge steel pan, the burner is designed to distribute gas throughout the burn area in a random and ever-changing pattern, just like a real wood fire.  Hargrove's Ember Burner system is designed to work with all standard depth, single-sided log sets.
The new H Burner expands upon the Ember burner concept by adding a full-length secondary burner tube to the front area of the burner pan.  This advancement provides additional flame in front of the logs, which helps radiate more heat into the home while enhancing the look of the log set, and also creates an improved ember bed, particularly in liquid propane applications.  Hargrove's H Burner is designed to work with all standard depth, single-sided log sets.
System Four is Hargrove's revolutionary vented burner system, designed specifically to provide outstanding performance in liquid propane applications.  Controlled porting and optimal fuel to air ratios create an extremely clean burning system that provides natural flame patterns and a full glowing ember bed, with much less carbon production than previous liquid propane systems.  The stainless and carbon steel burner features hidden controls, and multiple units may be combined to create a wide range of sizes, as well as see-thru units.  System Four was also a 2005 finalist for the prestigious Vesta award for gas logs.  System Four is designed to work with all standard depth log sets.
The unique Pedestal Grate system works together with Hargrove's burner systems to create a full, roaring fire.  This design allows optimum air flow through the set, for better flame height and a more natural flame pattern.  Standard Hargrove grates are made from sturdy 5/8" steel stock, giving longer life and maximum durability.
Hargrove's See-Thru designs use a specialized grate in combination with dual Ember Burners, to create plentiful flames and a beautiful ember bed that can be viewed from both sides of the fireplace.  See-Thru sets are available in most log styles, with standard or shallow depth configurations.   Specific models using a single burner arrangement are offered with RGA2-72 or ANSI Z21.60 certification.
 
Optional Set Enhancements
Ember Enhancing System
The Ember Enhancing System creates a deeper ember bed by adding a secondary burner to the front of the log set's Ember Burner.  This allows the Ember Burner to be positioned further back in the fireplace, for more flame in the center and rear of the log set, or can be used to add more glowing embers to the front of the set.

Grate Top Coal Bed
The Grate Top Coal Bed rests in the center area of the Pedestal Grate, just below the logs.  This allows creation of a second glowing ember bed in the center of the log set, thus giving the appearance of a natural, mature fire, with a fully developed ember bed reaching into the middle of the fire.

Crackling Pinecone Kit
The Crackling Pinecone kit is a hollow version of our beautifully detailed decorative pinecone, designed to work with a heat-reactive material to create wonderfully realistic crackling and popping sounds.

Decorative Pinecones, Acorns & Bark Chips
Hargrove Hearth Products offers a variety of options to customize the look of your log set and the hearth area of your home.  Decorative pinecones, acorns and bark chips are available as individual pieces or in kits, to help you create a unique fireplace setting.

Pedestal & Free-Standing Grate Facings
Decorative grate facings are available in two distinctive styles to accent your fireplace and Hargrove gas log set.  The Pedestal Grate Facing (left) is designed to hang from the log set's grate, and will sit above the floor of the fireplace.  The Free-Standing Grate Facing (right) stands on the fireplace floor, allowing flexible placement.
