Superior DRL4000: a wide linear direct vent gas fireplace from four to seven feet across
The Superior DRL4000 is a large linear direct vent gas fireplace built into the wall. Linear means the opening is low and wide, like a letterbox. It comes in widths of 48, 60, 72, or 84 inches. Pick the size on the page. The flames rise in a long line through black reflective crushed glass, behind ceramic glass that passes more heat into the room. Tile or stone can run right up to the opening.
It is set up for natural gas, and a propane conversion kit is on the page. Direct vent means a sealed pipe runs to the outside. It brings in air for the fire and carries the exhaust out, so the fire never uses the air in your room. The heat runs from 35,000 BTU on the smallest up to 50,000 BTU on the widest. Electronic ignition lights it with a button, and a battery backup keeps it running when the power is out. On the page you can add a see through kit that opens the back so two rooms share the fire. On the smallest size there is a version that puts the second side on the patio. You can also add a blower, a remote, and a HeatFlo kit that carries heat away from the wall above so a TV can hang there. Want the blower, lights, liner, and remote built in? See the Superior DRL6000 linear direct vent fireplace. The Superior DRL4000 ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

Which Fireplace Do I Need?
Fireplace Finder
Answer a few quick questions and we’ll show you the right kind of fireplace for your home or backyard, plus the models that fit.
Where will your fireplace go?
What kind of fire do you want outside?
How do you want it built?
Outdoor fireplaces come two ways: a finished piece you set in place, or a firebox that gets built into a wall.
How big a fireplace do you picture?
Measured by the width of the fire opening, or of the whole unit for ready-made pieces.
What kind of fire do you want?
Not sure yet? Pick “Help Me Choose” and we’ll ask two easy questions.
Do you have natural gas at home, or would you use a propane tank?
Which sounds most like you?
What type of unit do you picture?
Can a vent pipe go through an outside wall or the roof?
Gas fireplaces either vent outside (direct vent) or need no vent at all (vent-free).
What matters most to you?
How big is the space you want to heat?
Enter the square feet of the room, or of the open area the fire will warm.
What sizes does the DRL4000 come in, and what heat output does each have?
Four linear widths: 48 in, 60 in, 72 in and 84 in, chosen on the Size selector. The Specifications tab lists 35,000-23,500 BTU for the 48, 40,000-28,000 for the 60, 45,000-31,500 for the 72 and 50,000-35,000 for the 84, with framing widths of 55-5/8 in, 74-1/4 in, 86-1/4 in and 98-1/4 in. The 48 also frames shorter at 39-1/8 in versus 48-1/2 in for the larger three.
Can this fireplace be installed as a see-through unit?
Yes, with a conversion kit from the Configuration Kits selector. The fireplace ships as a one-sided unit; the indoor see-through kit is available for every size, while the indoor/outdoor see-through kit that lets you enjoy the fire from a patio is offered for the 48 in model only. One caution from the manual: the optional blower kit is not compatible with a see-through kit and must be removed or disabled if both are installed.
Can I mount a TV above the DRL4000?
The installation manual gives guidance rather than a promise: keep a TV at least 12 in above the fireplace on a flush wall or 18 in in a recessed pocket, and check the TV maker’s temperature limits, since IHP does not take responsibility for heat damage to electronics. The HeatFlo kit on the Configuration Kits selector redirects heat away from the wall above and is what the manual frames a recessed TV pocket around.
What does the HeatFlo kit do?
HeatFlo is an optional duct kit that carries convective heat from the fireplace up to a register higher on the wall, so the zone directly above the opening stays cooler for heat-sensitive wall hangings or a television. The Smart Sheet linked in the Manuals tab shows the extra framing height it needs and a 6 in minimum from the register to the ceiling. Add it, and the matching flex extension, on the Configuration Kits selector.
Does it keep working if the power goes out?
Yes. The electronic ignition includes a battery backup, so the burner can still be lit and run during an outage; the optional blower and any wall-powered accessories stop until power returns. Normal operation uses household power for the ignition system, so an electrical supply must be roughed in at installation. Remotes are listed on the Remote selector above.
Which media and liner come standard, and what can I change?
Reflective black crushed glass media and a black painted interior are included; the clean-face design has built-in tile stops so the wall finish can run right to the opening. Optional looks on the selectors are blue or platinum crushed glass, a river rock set, a high-definition driftwood log set, a reflective black glass liner and a black linear trim surround. Browse more linear fireplaces to compare finishes.
How is a linear direct vent fireplace vented?
Through a sealed direct vent pipe (IHP 6DVL components) that can run up through the roof or out an exterior wall, so no masonry chimney is required and the room’s air is never used for combustion. The manual notes a little condensation on the glass at start-up is normal and clears after 10-20 minutes as the sealed system stabilizes. Vent routing and lengths follow the manual’s tables and must be done by a qualified installer.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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
thanks Norse Steam for flawless transaction - I got instant replies on my questions, received competitive price on the wood stove and got it delivered within two weeks!

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 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.

Great products, outstanding service
This is a terrific stove from Harvia and is top quality, as youd expect from a reputable brand thats been in the sauna business for so long. Doing business with Norse Steam was also a pleasure. The order was processed quickly, communications from the company kept me up to date with processing and shipping, and everything arrived in perfect condition. Even scheduling the freight delivery for the stove and stones was a piece of cake. Everything went very smoothly and I will surely do business with them again in the future. Thanks for making it so easy
