Majestic Pioneer II: a wood fireplace that heats 1,000 to 2,600 square feet
The Majestic Pioneer II is a wood burning fireplace built into an indoor wall. EPA certified means it burns wood so cleanly and completely that it counts as a heater, not just a fireplace. It heats 1,000 to 2,600 square feet. The firebox holds logs up to 22 inches long for overnight heating. You see the flames through a sealed glass door. An arched or rectangular front lets you choose the shape around the fire.
Your builder frames a wall around it, runs the chimney, and finishes it in stone, tile, or brick. The chimney pipe is sold separately, so ask us to quote the run. On the page you pick the arched or rectangular front. You can add the Heat Zone duct kit. Heat Zone is a duct kit that carries warm air from the fireplace to another room, so you can turn the furnace down. An outside air kit and a mantel shelf are also options on the page.

FAQ
How long will one load of wood burn?
The description says bold flames last up to eight hours from a single load. That comes from the 2.7 cubic foot firebox, which takes logs up to 22 inches long, and from the EPA 2020 certification that reflects a slower, cleaner burn. Load it before bed and you can expect coals for a morning restart.
How much space can the Pioneer II heat?
The Specifications tab rates it for 1,000 to 2,600 square feet, and the Heat Zone feature lets you duct warmth to another room so the furnace can be turned down. The heat distribution kit appears under Venting and Hearth on this page; select it there if you plan to run a duct to a second room.
What is the difference between the arched and rectangular fronts?
Both use the same firebox with a 296 square inch viewing area; the Front Style selector simply changes the face plate to an arch or a rectangle. A metal finishing template is offered for each style to help trim the wall finish neatly around the front, and the Manuals tab links the accessory manual for it.
Does it need outside combustion air?
Yes, the architect guide labels the outside air as required and shows a 12 inch minimum cavity depth if the duct needs an elbow; the duct can enter from either side. The outside air elbow kit is listed on the page under Venting and Hearth, so add it in the order flow rather than sourcing one separately.
What chimney does it use?
The guide specifies HHT SL300 series pipe, with a chimney air kit required, or DuraPlus chimney with its base plate. It also draws 2 inches of clearance around the pipe, 36 inches from the top of the appliance to the ceiling, and a 2 by 4 header to keep pipe clearances. The lintel bar add-on is on the page as well.
How big a hearth and how high a mantel?
Per the architect guide, the hearth extension must reach at least 20 inches in front of the fuel opening and 8 inches to each side over 2 inch cement board or an HX4 board, and a combustible mantel sits 60 inches up from the fireplace base with 12 inches of depth. Among wood burning indoor fireplaces, that is a typical EPA-unit layout.
How much does the unit weigh and how big is the framing?
Either front version weighs 617 pounds. The unit is 40 inches wide, 40-1/2 inches tall and 23-1/2 inches deep; framing is 42-1/2 wide, 56-3/4 tall and 24 inches deep, plus drywall thickness if the chase interior is finished. It is listed to UL 127 and carries the HUD approval for manufactured homes.
