Can I see fireplaces burning in a showroom before I buy?
Yes — and Mills River folks should see both the indoor units and the outdoor fire features burning, since this open valley is built for outdoor living and many rural properties run on propane. It's a 25-minute drive to our Asheville showroom, where you can watch LP-configured fireplaces and a gas fire pit run before you choose one for your property.
Propane on the Large Lots
Out on Mills River's big rural parcels, past the reach of the gas main, propane is usually the fuel — and it burns hotter per unit with its own orifices and pressures. Come see LP-set units actually running: a Kozy Heat Springfield built for cold-climate homes, or a Mendota FullView with hand-cast logs if you want the luxury centerpiece look.
Seeing them lit tells you how full the propane flame looks and how the logs glow, which no brochure can. If you're weighing a decorative vented set against sealed, efficient heat, watching both burn side by side settles it.
Outdoor Fire, Seen Before You Build
This valley's open ground and cool mountain evenings make outdoor fire features earn their keep most of the year. On our floor you can see a Napoleon Uptown gas fire pit run, so you know the flame and scale before you commit to a spot on the patio.
We handle the gas and appliance side — buried outdoor-rated lines, the fire-pit hookup — and coordinate the hardscape with your builder. Plan it in late spring, before entertaining season.
One Trip, Well Planned
Twenty-five minutes each way rewards a little prep. Bring photos of the room or patio area, rough measurements, and confirm you're on propane. We pull the Henderson County permit and pressure-test the line. No obligation. Call (828) 545-0525.
