Customer Q&A with Product Specialists
Su J.
from olathe, ks asked:
Do the batteries in the receiver ever need to be replaced?
Yes. The receiver used with the Real Fyre variable remote system for this pilot kit is battery powered, so its batteries need to be replaced periodically, just like the batteries in the handheld remote. The Real Fyre VR2a receiver uses four 1.5V AA batteries, and the manufacturer recommends alkaline batteries for longer battery life (see the VR2a manual). When the remote stops working reliably, replace the batteries in both the remote and the receiver, and check the receiver battery compartment for corrosion, a common cause of remote and receiver failure. We recommend turning off the gas to the fireplace while changing the batteries.

from Seattle, WA asked:
Does this come with an installation guide, and does it include information for the propane version?
This kit does ship with an installation guide. You would need this particular variation for propane.

from Granite Bay, California asked:
Hello, I am buying the G45-42-SS grate, CHMJ-42 logs but need a remote. The ideal remote would be one that integrates with Control 4 or Alexa. Do you know any way to accomplish this?
Unfortunately, there is no way to connect the remotes for these burner and pilot kits to those or other home control systems.

Product Works Great
This item was shipped to be and arrived ahead of the scheduled delivery. We had our plumber install the unit. This unit works great on our fireplace. I was surprised to notice that you have to hold the on button for about 2 seconds for the log set to ignite. All in all, this is a great product.
Pros
Fast Shipping
Works Well
Cons
Slow response time to ignite
