Peterson Real-Fyre Burner Comparison

Glowing Ember Burner
(G4 & GX4)

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 & GX45)

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.

Advanced Glowing Ember Burner
(G46)

While the G4 and the G45 are the most popular Peterson burners, the G46 burner is growing in popularity because it is certified to ANSI standards, a requirement in some parts of the country. This patented Ribbon Burner Technology System features a control valve with built-in regulator and piezo ignition system. For Natural and L.P. Gas, they are only available in standard configurations - no see-thru sets available. From 40,000 to 65,000 BTUs, available with factory installed manual safety pilot, basic on/off remote control (-11 series) or variable flame height remote (-15 series). Another benefit is that the pre-installed components (pilot kit, ignitor, regulator) are all neatly contained within the angled sides and the rear of the burner system rather than having a bulky pilot kit sticking out of one side or the other!

G10 Burner
The G10 burner features three separate flames and a glowing ember bed. This burner is used exclusively with Peterson Charred logs. To compliment the burned through design of the logs, the ember bed features a “T”-shape that impinges upon the logs and gives the illusion of a smoldering front log.


G9 Burner
The G9 burner features three separate flames and a glowing ember bed for added realism. The ember bed on this G9 burner features an innovative reflective panel to add to your log sets fireside charm.
