Hargrove Gas Logs

Vented or vent-free?

Vented Hargrove sets are for a wood-burning fireplace with a working chimney. They burn with the damper fully open, and every Hargrove burner kit includes a damper stop clamp that keeps the damper from closing all the way. Most of this collection is vented, from standard log sets to see-thru and outdoor sets.

Vent-free Hargrove sets come with the logs, burner, grate and valve together, with an oxygen depletion sensor (ODS) pilot. Hargrove tests them to both the vent-free (ANSI Z21.11.2) and vented (Z21.60) standards and lists them as dual listed, so they can run vent-free with the damper closed or as a vented set with the damper open. Vent-free gas appliances are not allowed in every state, city or room, so check your local code before you order.

Hargrove vented log sets

Each vented listing is the log kit only, with a log installation diagram. Add a burner kit in the same size.

Most styles also come as see-thru sets, finished on both faces, and many as see-thru shallow sets for fireplaces with about 17" of depth. The Radiant Heat logs come two ways: RG kits include Hargrove's Radiant Riser, which directs heat forward into the room, and SL kits leave it out because the Stealth Burner brings its own.

Hargrove burner kits

The burner kit sets the fuel, the controls and the flame. It includes the grate, valve, burner media, volcanic cinder, fittings, flex connector and damper stop. Pick the size that matches your logs.

Choosing the valve

Most burner kits are listed once for each way of lighting and controlling the fire:

• Match light: no valve or pilot. You open the fireplace gas key and light the burner by hand. Natural gas only.
• Manual safety pilot: a standing pilot that shuts off the gas if the flame goes out, run by a knob in the fireplace, with a Copreci (1B) or American Flame (1T) valve.
• On/off remote: a safety pilot valve with a remote that turns the fire on and off.
• Variable remote: adds flame height control to the remote.
• Millivolt valve with wall switch: a standing pilot valve that works with Hargrove's millivolt remotes, thermostats and switches.
• Electronic ignition: lights the fire from a variable remote, on the Stealth, Pinnacle, System 4 and Control System Concealer kits.

Valve kits come burner mounted or as a cool mount (CMT) valve. A cool mount valve sits off to the side on a flexible connector, where it stays cooler and is easier to hide. An American Flame 1T valve can be upgraded later with the AF-LCK on/off remote kit or the AF-SCK variable flame remote kit.

Hargrove vent-free sets

Each vent-free log set ships with the logs, burner, grate, ODS pilot, ember material and volcanic cinder, with the valve factory installed. Millivolt sets include an on/off switch, and electronic ignition sets include a variable remote.

For a millivolt set, Hargrove offers remotes such as the RC-S12V-MV on/off remote and the RC-I12V-BT with Bluetooth, a TST wall thermostat and a bark chip switch. For a variable flame set, there is the RC-R300 LCD remote. The Element Series burner takes reflective fire glass, plus Hargrove's aspen twigs, driftwood twigs or river stones.

Outdoor fireplaces and fire pits

Indoor logs are not made for the weather. For a fire pit, Hargrove's Wilderness stacks sit on the stainless steel fire ring burner kit, and the drop-in fire pit burner takes fire glass or volcanic cinder. For an outdoor fireplace, the Rugged Craft metal log sets go on the outdoor stainless steel burner kit or stack over a fire ring.

Finishing touches

To dress a set, Hargrove makes the CK-6 combo kit, bark chips, pine cones, rock wool glowing embers and PB-5 Platinum Bright embers. Behind or under the fire, the stainless steel reflective panel reflects the flame, the Ember Enhancing System adds to the ember bed and the cast iron pedestal grate facings dress the front of the grate.

Sizing a Hargrove set

Size the set to the firebox, not to the front opening. Measure the front width, rear width, depth and height. Each burner kit page lists Hargrove's minimum fireplace dimensions for every size, and a cool mount valve needs a little less front width than a burner-mounted valve. Choose the size whose minimums your fireplace meets, or contact us with the four measurements and we will help you match the logs, burner and valve.

Hargrove warranty

• Logs: limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects or breakage. Breakage from handling after the set is installed and fired is not covered.
• Burner and grate: replacement if either fails from deterioration within 5 years of the verified purchase date.
• Valves, remote controls and switching devices: 2 years against manufacturing defects.
• All other parts: 2 years. Hargrove must be notified within 30 days of finding a defect.

Hargrove gas log FAQs

Do Hargrove vented log sets come with a burner?

No. Each vented log kit is listed as the logs only, and the burner kit is a separate product in the same size. The burner kit includes the grate, valve, burner media, cinder, fittings, flex connector and damper stop, and each log set page names the burner kits that fit it.

Can Hargrove gas logs run on propane?

Yes, with a valve kit. The fuel comes from the burner kit, and most of Hargrove's valve kits are offered for propane. Match light kits are natural gas only. For propane, Hargrove also builds the System 4 burner, a sandless design that it says reduces sooting.

What is the difference between Radiant Heat RG and SL logs?

The RG kit includes Hargrove's standard Radiant Riser and goes on the E-Burner, H-Burner or System 4. The SL kit leaves the riser out because the Stealth Burner comes with its own Stealth Radiant Riser.

Can I close the damper while vented logs burn?

No. The damper must be fully open whenever a vented set is burning, and the damper stop clamp in the burner kit keeps it from closing all the way.

Which Hargrove sets fit a shallow fireplace?

The Pinnacle burner works in standard fireplaces as shallow as 10" and in tall Rumford fireplaces. The Full Pan burner needs at least 14" of depth, and the See-Thru Shallow burner is made for two-sided, three-sided and corner fireplaces with about 17".

Can Hargrove vent-free logs be used as vented logs?

Yes. Hargrove lists its vent-free sets as dual listed, so they can run vent-free with the damper closed or as a vented set in a wood-burning fireplace with the damper open.

How long is the warranty on Hargrove logs?

Hargrove gives its logs a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects or breakage, and its burners and grates 5 years against deterioration.
