Outdoor living is a year-round draw in Franklin — mild shoulder seasons and cool mountain evenings make a fire feature the heart of a patio. Franklin is propane country — gas hearths here run off an owner-owned or leased tank, which changes line sizing, regulator setup, and BTU planning compared to a natural-gas town. We build outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, and the gas lines that feed them, permitted through Macon County and engineered for WNC weather.
When a catalog fire pit won't match your patio or your vision, Steady Flame designs one from scratch. Custom builds let you choose the shape — round, square, linear, or a long entertaining trough — along with the materials, height, and burner style that fit how you actually gather. We match the finish to your home's stone, brick, or modern concrete so the pit reads as part of the architecture, not an add-on.
What's Involved
Every custom project starts with a design conversation and a look at your space, fuel source, and seating layout. We spec the burner and BTU output for the flame you want, engineer the base and enclosure, and — for gas or propane models — run and pressure-test the line under our contractor's license. From glass media and lava rock to custom stone caps, we sweat the details and pull every required permit so your finished pit is both stunning and fully to code.
Heating Challenges in Franklin
Franklin's location in the Little Tennessee River valley creates a moderate mountain climate, but the distance from major service centers means many homes go longer between fireplace and chimney maintenance visits. Macon County's mix of year-round residents and seasonal homeowners creates varied demand — some fireplaces sit idle for months, then must light up instantly. Natural gas is limited outside the town core, making propane gas-fireplace and wood-stove expertise essential.
Seasonal Tip for Franklin Homeowners
Franklin homeowners with seasonal properties love gas fireplaces and inserts for their easy, instant warmth after a long time away. Schedule a pre-season fireplace and chimney check before you return for the season so a dormant hearth doesn't greet you with a surprise.
