Where can I see gas fireplaces burning in person near Asheville before I buy?
From Mills River it's about 25 minutes north to our Asheville showroom at 629 Emma Rd, where several fireplaces burn on the floor. Many Mills River homes sit on large rural lots running propane, so you'll want to see LP-configured units — and because the open valley is made for outdoor living, it's worth eyeing gas fire pits while you're there too. Call (828) 545-0525.
Propane on the rural lots
Mills River mixes newer developments with big rural properties spread across farmland and forest, and a lot of those homes run on propane rather than a gas main. Propane burns hotter per unit and needs different orifices, so tell us your fuel and we'll walk you to the units set up for it — no guessing off a brochure.
Don't skip the outdoor features
That open Mills River valley is prime outdoor-living country, and cool mountain evenings keep a fire feature earning its keep most of the year. On the floor you can look at a Napoleon Uptown gas fire pit alongside the indoor units. If you're planning to entertain, spring is the time to line up a gas fire pit before the season.
Bring your space, then we come out
Photos of the wall or patio, a rough measurement, and how you'll use it let us point you right. We pull the permit with Henderson County and meet the inspector — a landscaper can build a beautiful surround, but only a licensed gas contractor can legally run and connect the line. Next step after the showroom is a free in-home assessment.
