Napoleon Fiberglow 18: real flames in your wood burning fireplace, no remodel
The Napoleon Fiberglow 18 is a vented gas log set that turns a working wood burning fireplace into a gas fire you start with a switch. It needs an opening at least 22 inches wide, 18 inches tall and 14 inches deep, and it vents up your existing chimney, so the job is a gas line hookup, not a remodel. Five Phazer ceramic fiber logs sit on a cast iron grate with andirons, and lava rock and charcoal embers come in the box for a full, natural looking fire. It is rated at up to 55,000 BTU per hour input.
It lights with Napoleon’s Pilot on Demand electronic ignition, run by four AA batteries, so it needs no house wiring. Order it for natural gas, or add the propane conversion kit. Two options are on the page: the F45 on/off remote with a digital screen, and the BPD pack, which takes four D cell batteries in place of the AA holder. The damper stays locked partly open while the set is in, and a damper stop comes in the box. Napoleon backs it with its President’s Limited Lifetime Warranty. The Napoleon Fiberglow 18 ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
Will the Fiberglow 18 fit my fireplace?
It goes into a working wood burning fireplace, built of noncombustible material with a working flue, and the opening has to be at least 22 inches wide, 18 inches tall and 14 inches deep, per Napoleon’s installation manual. Measure your opening before you order.
Does the damper have to stay open with the Fiberglow 18?
Yes. The damper is locked partly open so it can never close all the way. Napoleon’s manual gives the minimum opening by chimney height, and a damper stop comes in the box. Have the chimney cleaned before the set goes in.
Does it need electricity?
No house wiring. The ignition runs on four AA batteries in a holder behind the logs. The optional BPD pack on the page swaps that holder for one that takes four D cell batteries.
Can I run it on propane?
Yes, with conversion kit W175-0347 on the page, $95 in the 2026 price book. The manual rates it at the same input on either fuel, and the conversion is done by a qualified installer.
Can I keep my glass fireplace doors?
Yes, but Napoleon’s manual says the doors have to be fully open whenever the log set is running.
What warranty covers the Fiberglow 18?
Napoleon’s President’s Limited Lifetime Warranty, sold in full through our authorized Napoleon dealership.
