Steady Flame Fireplaces sells Superior, and in Fairview it suits a wood-and-propane town — this is propane country, and the wooded lots out toward Cane Creek and Garren Creek make wood heat second nature. Superior's value-priced EPA wood WRT4500 and LP-configured gas models both fit, 15 minutes east of our Asheville showroom. Call (828) 545-0525.
Wood country, and a wood box built for it
Fairview's large wooded lots make wood heat the natural choice, and demand for stoves and inserts here is steady. Superior's EPA-certified WRT4500 is the value-priced wood box for exactly this: real, grid-independent heat you own outright, burning the oak that's already on your land. It's the practical middle of the market — honest, code-compliant fire without paying luxury money for the privilege.
Where a home is on propane instead, and many Fairview homes are, we set Superior's gas models up for LP so they burn clean rather than sooting on the wrong orifices.
Wood heat means minding the creosote
The catch with all that wood burning is creosote — it's the leading cause of chimney fires here, and it builds up fast on a flue that isn't swept. A Superior wood box is only as safe as the chimney above it, so we pair the install with a plan for annual fall sweeps before you're depending on the fire. Skip that, and a great box on a dirty flue is a real hazard.
Propane hookup is licensed, permitted through Buncombe
Out here a mason or landscaper can build the surround, but connecting propane is licensed work in North Carolina and legally theirs to leave alone — it's our lane. We run and pressure-test the line, pull the Buncombe County permit, and meet the inspector. The wood WRT4500 needs no line at all. Book a free in-home assessment. Call (828) 545-0525.
