What fireplace fits a craftsman-style home?
In Mills River, a craftsman fireplace often reaches outdoors. The rural large-lot homes here are frequently on propane, and the open valley is made for outdoor living — so alongside an indoor Arts-and-Crafts hearth of oak, stone, and earthy tile, many owners want a craftsman-style outdoor fireplace or a gas fire pit for the long entertaining season. Both run on the same licensed propane line.
Propane country, indoors and out
Mills River is mixed-fuel, but out on the farmland and large lots you're usually on propane, which burns hotter per unit and needs the right orifices and pressure to keep a craftsman log set clean. Indoors, a Kozy Heat Springfield 36 suits propane homes and holds the traditional flame the style calls for; a Real Fyre vented set gives the most realistic decorative fire. Whatever the appliance, honest materials — quarter-sawn oak, river stone, clinker brick — carry the Arts-and-Crafts look.
The valley rewards an outdoor fire feature
The open Mills River valley stays cool in the evenings most of the year, which is why an outdoor gas fireplace or fire pit earns its keep here. A Napoleon Uptown square gas fire pit or a built-in stone fireplace extends the craftsman look to the patio, and outdoor gas lines have to be buried and outdoor-rated — licensed work a landscaper legally can't connect. We run and pressure-test the gas side; your builder or hardscaper handles the counters and stone, and we coordinate. Plan a fire pit for late spring, before entertaining season.
