In Black Mountain, Steady Flame carries Real Fyre and installs across the Swannanoa Valley — our Asheville showroom is just 15 minutes west, making you one of our closest towns. We display the Charred American Oak set, size it to your firebox, run the natural-gas line, and light it. Real Fyre sells through dealers, not shipping boxes. Call (828) 545-0525.
Valley cold and a realistic flame
Black Mountain and Montreat sit in a pocket where valley inversions leave mornings 10 to 15 degrees colder than Asheville, and frost lingers later into spring. A Real Fyre set won't be your furnace — it's a vented, decorative log set, so with the damper open most of the heat rises up the flue. What it does deliver is the most convincing wood-fire look gas can offer, cast from real oak, which is why it lands so well in the older downtown fireboxes here. It drops right into the firebox you already have.
Montreat's damp, shaded lots
Up in Montreat and Ridgecrest, heavily wooded lots keep houses cool, shaded, and moisture-prone — and that moisture is rough on masonry chimneys over time. Because a vented Real Fyre set relies on a sound, open flue to draft, we inspect the chimney and damper before setting the logs. It's a quick check that saves a smoky surprise on the first cold night. Black Mountain sits on the natural-gas mains, so once the flue checks out the fuel hookup is straightforward.
Close by, licensed, permitted
Being 15 minutes out means we're quick to reach you for the install and any follow-up service. We pull the Buncombe County permit, meet the inspector, and pressure-test the line — the licensed gas work a showroom or mason can't legally do in North Carolina. Permitted work protects your homeowner's insurance, too. See the Charred American Oak lit in Asheville or book a free in-home assessment. Call (828) 545-0525.
