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 ventfree 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 RiserTM 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 

RiserTM technology, and are designed to 

complement any standard Hargrove vented log 

burner system.

Hargrove's combination of ceramic fiber, the 

Radiant RiserTM 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.

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

Pedestal Grate Facing (left) is 

designed to hang from the log 

set's grate, and will sit above the 

floor of the fireplace. The FreeStanding Grate Facing (right) 

stands on the fireplace floor, 

allowing flexible placement.
