Who It’s For

A gas log fire can look staged, with logs that sit on top of the flame instead of burning in it. You want a fire that fools guests at first glance. The SupremeX Insert 30 is the premium version of the Supreme, with eight ceramic fiber logs and an LED-lit ember bed. It fits a standard fireplace in a room where the look of the fire matters most.

What Makes It Special

Eight logs instead of five build a fuller, more natural stack, and the LED ember bed glows like real coals under the flames.

A touchscreen thermostat remote and a variable fan are included, with battery backup. Inside, choose traditional or herringbone brick panels or a reflective black glass liner, or order the birch-log version.

Possible Downsides

• A front and surround are required and sold separately.

If you want the most realistic log fire you can put in a standard fireplace, the SupremeX Insert 30 is the right decision. Friends ask when you started burning wood again.

Pick a firescreen, Halston arched, inside-fit, or Iron Age front in black, gun metal, or new bronze, a surround, traditional or herringbone brick panels or a reflective black glass liner, and a wood mantel shelf.
