Steady Flame Fireplaces sells and installs Majestic in Marshall, where the terrain shapes every install. Homes cling to steep hillsides and the narrow downtown is built right against the mountain, so venting and draft take real planning. A sealed direct-vent Majestic solves a lot of that. See it at our Asheville showroom, 25 minutes south. Call (828) 545-0525.
Steep lots, tight routing
Marshall's hillside homes and its multi-story downtown buildings, stacked against the mountainside, don't leave much room for a conventional chimney run. That's where a sealed direct-vent Majestic earns its place: it uses a short coaxial pipe straight out a sidewall or roof, so we can put a fireplace in a room that a tall masonry flue could never serve well. The Meridian 42 fits that approach — 30,000 BTU, sealed combustion, no chimney required. On these constrained lots, engineering the vent correctly is most of the job, and it's exactly the kind of problem we solve.
Draft, damp, and the gorge
The French Broad gorge funnels cool, damp air through Marshall, and WNC's ridges and tall trees are notorious for causing downdrafts in open fireplaces — cold air sits in the chimney like a plug and the fire won't draw. A sealed direct-vent system doesn't fight that; its combustion is isolated from the room and the weather. Fuel across Madison County is mixed, natural gas in some spots and propane in others, and we set the appliance up for whichever feeds your house so it burns clean.
One licensed crew, permit and all
Getting a unit up a steep Marshall driveway and venting it correctly is not a job to hand to a showroom and a handyman — and in North Carolina, only a licensed contractor can legally run the gas. We handle the appliance, the venting, the gas line, the Madison County permit, and the inspection as one accountable company. Call (828) 545-0525 for a free in-home assessment in Marshall.
