Monessen Charisma: hand painted gas logs that glow from below
The Monessen Charisma is a vent free gas log set for the fireplace you already have. It comes 18, 24, or 30 inches wide. Hand painted logs form a traditional stack. The Glow Getter burner adds bright embers and logs that glow from below.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Vent free means it needs no chimney or vent pipe at all, and nearly all the heat stays in the room. Check your local code first, since some areas restrict vent free heaters. It puts out up to 37,000 BTU and heats up to 1,850 square feet. The price is for the logs. The burner is a required pick on the page, in millivolt or IPI. On the page you pick the size, the fuel, and the burner ignition. Millivolt means it has a standing pilot and needs no electricity, so it keeps working when the power is out. IPI means intermittent pilot ignition: it lights the pilot only when you turn the fire on, so no gas burns while the fire is off. Pick one on the page. You can add a hand held on and off remote or a touchscreen remote. Compare another log style: Monessen Moxie gas log set. The Monessen Charisma ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What makes the Glow Getter burner under the Charisma special?
It is built around glow, not just flame. Glow Getter technology pairs a vibrant ember bed with logs that light up from below, an exclusive combination Monessen offers in two burner sizes, for natural gas or propane, in millivolt or IPI operation. Among gas fireplace burners, that pairing of ember bed and log glow is the Charisma’s signature.
What is the smallest opening width each Charisma size accepts?
Front width is the gating number. The 18-inch Charisma needs a fireplace opening at least 27 inches across, the 24-inch needs 31 inches, and the 30-inch needs 34 inches, identical figures for the millivolt and IPI versions. If your opening lands between two of those numbers, size down; the set should never crowd its firebox.
Is the detailing on these logs applied by machine?
No. Each log is hand painted, which is why Monessen calls the finish a personal touch. Casting establishes the bark and grain, then the paintwork brings out the beautiful detail and fabulous glow the set is known for. Slight variation from log to log is part of the appeal of a hand-finished piece.
Does a tighter fireplace favor the Charisma over the Dynamo?
Usually, yes. The Charisma’s minimum front widths run two inches narrower than the Dynamo’s at every length, so it drops into openings its barked sibling cannot use. If your firebox is generous enough for either, the decision becomes purely visual: bold traditional stack here, heavier bark texture on the Dynamo.
Can this set remember my preferred flame settings?
Order it with the IntelliFire Plus intermittent pilot option and yes: that system lets you program memory settings, so the fire comes back the way you like it, and it monitors safe performance while it runs. Prefer simpler controls? The millivolt version is the alternative, and every Charisma ships remote ready either way.
Is a 14-inch-deep firebox enough for these logs?
Yes. Fourteen inches of depth is exactly the minimum, and it applies to all three lengths in both ignition versions. That relatively shallow requirement means plenty of older masonry fireboxes qualify. Confirm your front width against the size chart as well, since width, not depth, is usually what decides which length fits.
Will a traditional mantel setting suit this log set?
That is its natural home. Monessen styles the set as bold traditional, with a realistic stacked-log profile and a glowing bottom that reads like settled coals beneath a mantel. The burner hardware is finished in sleek black to sit quietly against a classic hearth, so the fire, not the equipment, holds the room.

What Our Customers Say
D
A sauna turns your garden into a spa oasis. We debated it for a while, but after renovating our house, we pulled the trigger and bought a sauna from Norse Steam and Maya. She was always super responsive and helpful throughout the process. Don't kid yourself, getting a really nice sauna is not that easy. Sizing and heating need to be figured out, as does the building, but we have always had a helpful partner on our side. She never upsold us on anything we didn't need, and we got some nice freebies when the sauna was delivered. And now we can really enjoy every moment in our garden.
KF
I'm really happy with my sauna purchase. Maya gave above and beyond excellent customer service. She wasn't pushy and gave impressive followup after the delivery to make sure everything was just right.
DE
I enjoy my FD2 Sauna with Red Light, Infrared and radiant heat. Use it 5x a week and my post workout soreness is minimal and sleep great. Maya at Norse Steam was excellent to work with.
B
We purchased the 3-person sauna for our outdoor garden. We chose the cube sauna for the aesthetic and could not be happier.
I assembled by myself except for the 2 large panels (requires a few people). Instructions were good - took me two partial Saturdays to complete and a few hours to unpack and organize in advance of assembly. Had my elec. add a NEMA enclosure on the back for the controller and power for lights and a 2nd panel for the wireless control.
Customer service was excellent

Awesome Sauna and Awesome Company and Experience purchasing it from Maya!
After much research I chose the Finnmark FD-2 and it has met and exceeded all my expectations! Easy to assemble and it functions great - just as advertised. I highly recommend it for home use!
EA
Recently purchased the Finnmark one person after much research. Extremely happy with it and the ordering process. Maya was very responsive and helpful during the process and keeping us updated while we waited for shipment. There were several places I could have ordered this, but i chose Norse Steam based on the communication and customer service which was fantastic. The shipment was also excellent. The setup was pretty seamless for two people - but the best part is the sauna experience 10/10

Maya is amazing - super helpful and responsive. Looked at many stores, these guys have the best prices and service. Highly recommend
GR
Norse Steam, and specifically Maya, were extremely helpful as I was making the decision for our Sauna. I was able to get all of the necessary details to make a decision as construction was happening in my backyard to make space for it.
We absolutely love the CL7G. It is extremely comfortable for 6 people (can fit more less comfortably). The Thermory Spruce and Aspen in the interior smells great. The lighting is lovely. We paired the CL7G with the Harvia Spirit 10.5kw.

Had great experience shopping at Norse Steam for the new heater. They had very good deal, with rocks. Customer service was good, and responded very fast with my questions. Received the heater, and it looks good, and the quality seem to be great. Will install soon, and am very excited to start experiencing sauna the way it ment to be

Smoking Hot Tub!
I got the Norse Steam SaunaLife wood-fired hot tub, the S4N model, and its been seriously great. It heats up quicker than I expected, usually around an hour and a half, and once its hot, it stays that way for a good long while. The wood-fired system is simple to use, and honestly kind of fun.
The tub itself feels solid and well put together. The thermo-spruce exterior looks beautiful in person, and the fiberglass interior is smooth, deep, and easy to clean. Its the kind of setup that just works without a bunch of fuss, which I really appreciate.
Also, the team at Norse Steam was genuinely great to work with. Super helpful, quick to respond, and made the process really easy from start to finish. It felt like they actually cared that I was happy with it. The tub has totally become a go-to way to unwind, and I wouldnt change a thing.

Great Sauna & Purchase Experience
Great experience purchasing Finnmark FD-2 from Norse Steam. Good communication and easy to assemble. Temperature increases quickly (30 minutes or less to 140) and maintains well. So far this has been a great purchase.

Great sauna and great customer service
We purchased the Finnmark SD-1 sauna. Maya was extremely helpful with the purchase. We had an issue with the sauna not reaching the maximum temperature, and Maya connected us with the appropriate technician that explained how to correct the issue. The sauna now heats to the maximum temperature (170 degrees) in less than an hour, and it is a great unit. We are very happy with it, and we would definitely purchase from NorseSteam if we needed any other items.

Sauna Review
I recently purchased a sauna from Norse Steam, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional, and Maya deserves special recognition for her outstanding support!
Maya was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, answering all my questions about the sauna features, installation process, and maintenance. She went above and beyond to ensure I selected the perfect model for my home. Even after the purchase, Maya followed up to make sure everything was running smoothly and that I was satisfied with my sauna.
The sauna itself is top-notch beautifully designed, durable, and easy to use. It's clear that Norse Steam takes pride in the quality of their products and their commitment to customer satisfaction.
If you're considering a sauna, I wholeheartedly recommend Norse Steam. With their excellent customer service and high-quality products, you're in great hands. Thank you, Maya, and the entire Norse Steam team for a fantastic experience!
