Napoleon Rosedale 3: a wide view gas insert that runs in a power outage
The Napoleon Rosedale 3 is a direct vent gas insert for an existing wood burning fireplace, masonry or prefab. It needs an opening at least 29 inches wide, 21 inches tall and 15 inches deep. The view through the ceramic glass is a wide 25 by 13 inches, and the insert puts out up to 24,000 BTU on natural gas. It lights with millivolt ignition, so the fire still works in a power outage, and the F60 thermostatic remote comes in the box.
Three choices are required on the page: the log set (birch or oak), the backerplate, and the faceplate. Optional extras on the page: decorative panels in black illusion glass, MIRRO-FLAME reflective porcelain, or Newport or Westminster brick; a standard heat circulating blower; and an adjustable riser box. A safety screen is included. Order it for natural gas, or add the propane conversion kit. It vents through two 3 inch liners run up the existing chimney, one for fresh air and one for exhaust, and the matching Napoleon liner kits are on the page. Napoleon backs it with its President’s Limited Lifetime Warranty. The Napoleon Rosedale 3 ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
Will the Rosedale 3 fit my fireplace?
It goes into a vented wood burning fireplace, masonry or prefab, with an opening at least 29 inches wide, 21 inches tall and 15 inches deep and a chimney flue at least 6 inches round, per Napoleon’s installation manual. Measure your opening before you order.
What do I have to pick when I order the Rosedale 3?
Three things: a log set (birch or oak), a backerplate (large 3-sided, large 4-sided, or trimmable), and a faceplate (small 4-sided or small arched). Decorative panels, the blower and the riser box are optional.
Does the Rosedale 3 work in a power outage?
Yes. It uses millivolt ignition, and Napoleon lists it as operating in power outages, so the fire still lights and heats without electricity.
What venting does the Rosedale 3 need?
Two 3 inch liners run up the existing chimney, one brings in fresh air and one carries the exhaust out. Napoleon’s installation manual allows 10 to 45 feet of liner. The Napoleon kits on the page come in 20, 25 and 35 foot lengths, each with both liners.
Is a blower included with the Rosedale 3?
No. The standard heat circulating blower RD3BK is an option on the page, $429 in the 2026 price book. The F60 thermostatic remote is included.
Can I run the Rosedale 3 on propane?
Yes, with conversion kit W175-0850 on the page, $95 in the 2026 price book. The manual rates it at up to 22,000 BTU on propane.
What warranty covers the Rosedale 3?
Napoleon’s President’s Limited Lifetime Warranty, sold in full through our authorized Napoleon dealership.
