In Flat Rock, Steady Flame is your Real Fyre dealer — and this is a town built for a vented log set. The 1800s homes here carry oversized open masonry fireplaces that a Real Fyre Charred American Oak set drops right into. We display it in Asheville, 30 minutes north, size it to your firebox, and run the licensed gas line. Call (828) 545-0525.
Built for these historic fireboxes
Flat Rock's character comes from its old houses, some dating to the 1800s, with big open masonry fireplaces meant for wood. A Real Fyre set honors that — you keep the original brick and mantel and gain a tall, hand-painted flame cast from real oak, without splitting or hauling a stick. It's the closest gas comes to a real wood fire, and it slips into the firebox you already have rather than asking you to rebuild the room. For historic homes around Kanuga and Highland Lake, that's the appeal.
Old flues need a look first
The catch with a home this age is the chimney. Many Flat Rock fireplaces have aging clay flue liners, and those wide-open hearths already pull cold-air drafts into the room. A vented Real Fyre set needs a sound, open flue and a working damper to draft cleanly, so we inspect before we set the logs. If the liner's failing, we'll be straight with you — and if you'd rather stop the draftiness and gain real heat, a sealed insert is the alternative we'll show you.
Licensed gas, Henderson County permit
We source the set, size it, run and pressure-test the line, pull the Henderson County permit, and meet the inspector — one accountable company from start to finish. In North Carolina, connecting an appliance to fuel is licensed work a mason or handyman can't legally do, and permitting protects your insurance.
