Sun-bleached driftwood logs inspired by the banks of the Colorado River.

Quick Facts

• Heating Capacity: Designed for ambiance, not as a heat source.
• Fuel: Natural gas or propane, set by the burner you choose.
• Controls: Remote included with every burner; choose an adjustable flame with a small pilot that stays lit, or battery ignition with on and off.
• Logs: 8 pieces, 30″

Who It’s For

A wood fireplace is wonderful on the nights you light it, but hauling wood, building the fire, and cleaning out ash turn it into a project, so it sits dark most of the winter. You need a fire that starts with a button and still looks like wood. The Grand Canyon Western Driftwood 30-inch set is for the homeowner with a working wood-burning fireplace who wants the look of a real fire every evening, sized for a larger firebox. Gas logs are about the fire you see, not heat: choose them for ambiance, and choose a gas insert if you want the fireplace to warm the house.

What Makes It Special

The set has a washed-out, sun-bleached exterior against rich gray tones and bright white accents, with deep, cracking, splitting bark, modeled on the sun-baked banks of the Colorado River. Grand Canyon recommends it for transitional rooms.

The 30-inch set is eight logs. It works with the 2-burner and 3-burner pans in front-view and see-through fireplaces. Grand Canyon backs the logs, and burners installed indoors, with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, and the burners are built in the USA.

You choose how it lights. The modulating valve keeps a small pilot burning and lets you turn the flame up or down from the remote. The battery electronic ignition runs on two D-cell batteries and lights the pilot from the remote when you want a fire.

Possible Downsides

• It is for ambiance, not heat. Most of the warmth goes up the chimney; for real heat, look at a gas insert.
• The burner is sold separately. Every set needs a matching 30-inch burner.

If you want a real-looking wood fire without the wood, the Grand Canyon Western Driftwood 30-inch set is the right decision. The fire becomes a conversation piece as much as a fire.

Pair the logs with a 30-inch 2-burner or 3-burner pan, in natural gas or propane, with either the adjustable-flame valve or battery electronic ignition.
