Yes, though Arden mostly runs on natural-gas mains, so a buried propane tank is the exception here. The bigger Arden project is usually converting a tired open masonry fireplace in Royal Pines or Skyland into a sealed insert that actually heats — and if a property sits past the main, a buried burial-rated tank is what feeds that insert. Your supplier sets the tank.
From drafty open box to real heater
The signature Arden fireplace is a 1980s or 90s open masonry firebox in Royal Pines, Skyland, or Glenn Bridge that pulls warm air straight up the chimney and drafts cold air into the room. Dropping in a sealed gas insert turns that liability into a heater — inserts commonly run 70 percent efficient or better, where an open masonry fireplace can actually lose net heat. Most of these homes are on the gas main, so that's the simple path. But for the properties that sit past the line, the same upgrade runs on propane, and burying the tank keeps the yard clean while feeding the new insert. Either fuel, the insert is the win.
One licensed company, permit included
If propane is the fuel, the tank is your supplier's burial-rated, corrosion-protected job. Steady Flame runs the line from the tank dome to the insert, sized for the load, buried to depth outdoors, permitted with Buncombe County, and pressure-tested before lighting — and we set the correctly sized liner the insert needs. One company owns appliance, venting, gas line, and sign-off. Fifteen minutes south of our showroom. Call (828) 545-0525 for a free assessment.
