In Arden, Steady Flame carries Real Fyre — and those open masonry fireplaces in Royal Pines and Skyland are made for it. A vented Real Fyre set drops into your existing firebox for the look of a real wood fire, no hauling. We install across Buncombe County, 15 minutes from our Asheville showroom, on the natural-gas mains. Call (828) 545-0525.
The open fireboxes around Royal Pines and Skyland
Arden's 1980s and '90s homes are full of open masonry fireplaces, and honestly most of them are tired — a wide-open firebox actually pulls heated air out of the room and up the chimney. A Real Fyre set won't change that physics; it's a vented, decorative log set, so it gives you a gorgeous hand-painted flame cast from real oak rather than real heat. If you love the look and want the ambiance, it's a perfect drop-in for the firebox you already have, and it lights at a match or a switch.
When you want heat, we'll say so
If your goal is actually warming the room, the better move in an open Arden firebox is a sealed insert, which turns a heat-losing hole in the wall into a genuine heater. We'll lay out both honestly — a Real Fyre set for pure ambiance, or a sealed insert for power-optional heat — and let you choose. The right appliance beats the priciest one every time, and we don't upsell the bigger box just because it's on the floor.
Licensed, local, permitted
Arden sits on the natural-gas mains, so the hookup is straightforward, and we're just 15 minutes up the road for the install and any service. We pull the Buncombe County permit, meet the inspector, and pressure-test the line — licensed gas work a mason or showroom can't legally finish. See the Charred American Oak lit at 629 Emma Rd or book a free in-home assessment. Call (828) 545-0525.
