Napoleon Galaxy 50: an outdoor gas fireplace for smaller patio walls
The Napoleon Galaxy 50 is an outdoor gas fireplace built into a framed patio wall. It is the most compact fireplace in the Galaxy range, sized for smaller patios, courtyards, and outdoor kitchen walls. The viewing opening is 20 inches tall. A wide, low band of flame burns over clear glass embers. This shape is called linear. Color lighting lights up both the ember bed and the glass wind guard. It is built to stay outside year round, but the firebox needs to be kept free of water and debris.
Order it for natural gas or propane. It sits outside, so it needs no vent pipe at all. It puts out up to 50,000 BTU, enough to warm a patio on a cool night. Clear glass embers and an external control panel come with it. You can add birch, driftwood, or oak logs, decorative back panels, a stainless steel weather cover, and more on the page. Napoleon backs it with a 5 year limited warranty. Want a wider fire? See the Napoleon Galaxy 62 outdoor gas fireplace. The Napoleon Galaxy 50 ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What is the Napoleon Galaxy 50?
The most compact Galaxy: a linear outdoor gas fireplace (GSS50NE) that brings the series’ modern ribbon-of-flame look to smaller patios, courtyards, and outdoor kitchen walls.
Can the Galaxy 50 stay outside all year?
Yes — it is engineered for permanent outdoor installation. Follow the manual’s guidance on keeping the firebox free of water and debris in the off-season and it will weather the seasons well.
Does the Galaxy 50 need any venting?
None — outdoor fireplaces exhaust straight to open air, so there is no vent pipe or chimney. It is strictly outdoor equipment and must never be installed in an enclosed area.
What framing does the Galaxy 50 need?
A minimum opening of 55 in wide x 40.50 in high x 17 in deep — a simple framed cavity in an outdoor wall or island, far lighter construction than any masonry fireplace.
Can you roast marshmallows on the Galaxy 50?
It isn’t built for cooking — sugar and drippings foul the burner and glass media. Treat the Galaxy 50 as your patio’s ambiance and warmth, and keep the s’mores over a fire pit.
Is the Galaxy 50 natural gas or propane?
The GSS50NE ships configured for natural gas. If your outdoor space runs on propane, contact us before ordering and we’ll confirm the right fuel configuration for your installation.
What warranty comes with the Galaxy 50?
Napoleon’s 5-year limited warranty — included in full via our authorized-dealer status. See the whole outdoor range in our Napoleon fireplace collection.
