Fireplaces

Indoor or outdoor?

Start with where the fire will go. Our indoor fireplace collection covers rooms inside the house. The outdoor fireplace collection is the starting point for a patio or backyard. Choose the indoor or outdoor collection first so you can compare designs and sizes for your setting.

Fireplaces by fuel

Browse gas fireplaces for natural gas or propane, or electric fireplaces that plug in without venting. A natural gas fireplace or propane fireplace needs the matching fuel supply. Choose wood burning fireplaces if you want to burn wood and can provide a chimney. For a floor-standing option, see freestanding gas stoves.

Choose by venting

A direct vent gas fireplace keeps the fire behind sealed glass, draws outside air and vents through a pipe. Ventless gas fireplaces need no vent, but room size and local code determine suitability. See ventless propane models for that fuel.

Choose by shape and style

For a modern fireplace wall, explore low, wide linear fireplaces. A linear gas fireplace offers a letterbox shape. See-through fireplaces provide a double sided fireplace view, while multi-sided designs suit peninsula or bay layouts. Browse corner-ready units for a corner installation or wall mounted electric fireplaces that hang on the wall.

Inserts for an existing fireplace

Our fireplace inserts slide into an existing opening. Compare gas inserts for existing masonry, wood burning stove inserts that turn an open hearth into a stove, and electric inserts. Measure the opening before narrowing your choices.

Gas logs and burners

Explore gas log sets to change an existing wood fireplace to gas. Vented gas logs use a working chimney; ventless gas logs need no chimney draft. Gas burners and pans serve a log set or glass fire bed. Before choosing fireplace logs, check that the set works with your existing firebox and venting.

Outdoor fireplaces and fire pits

Plan a patio fireplace with outdoor gas fireplaces, outdoor wood burning fireplaces or outdoor electric fireplaces for covered patios. Explore finished and ready-to-finish outdoor kits in cast concrete or on a steel frame. For open seating instead, browse fire pits and fire pit tables.

Mantels and finishing

Choose a fireplace mantel or explore mantel shelves for the wall above the fire. Plan your fireplace surround around the manual’s clearances. Keep safe shiplap wall ideas in mind when considering the finish.

FAQ

Gas, wood or electric: which fireplace should I choose?

Choose by room, available fuel and upkeep. Gas gives switch-lit flame and steady heat. Wood brings crackle and smell but needs firewood and a chimney. Electric plugs into an outlet without venting, making it an option for bedrooms, condos and rentals.

Can I convert my wood burning fireplace to gas or electric?

Yes. A gas log set uses the existing firebox, with a working chimney for vented logs or no draft for ventless logs. Gas or electric inserts seal the opening for more heat and less draft. See how fireplace inserts work.

What is a zero clearance fireplace, and do I need a chimney?

A zero clearance fireplace is a factory-built unit that frames into a normal wood-framed wall at the clearances in its manual, so no brick chimney or masonry firebox is needed. Nearly every unit here is one. Gas uses a wall or roof pipe or is ventless; wood needs a metal chimney; electric needs neither. See gas fireplace installation and venting.

Will a gas fireplace work without electricity?

Many will. Standing-pilot units light by hand, and many electronic ignition units have battery backup for a power cut. Blowers and lights stop until power returns. Check the manual or ask us about the unit you are considering.

What is a fireplace hearth?

It is the floor of the fireplace and the area in front, usually stone, tile or brick, for heat and embers. Wood requires the manual’s hearth size; gas and electric may need none. Follow the manual; see hearth safety and design.
