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.
Fire features go beyond the standard pit — think sculptural fire bowls flanking an entry, a fire-and-water combination spilling into a spa, a linear trough along a seat wall, or flame columns marking an outdoor room. Steady Flame designs and installs these signature elements as part of a cohesive outdoor living space, tying flame, water, stone, and lighting together. As a licensed gas contractor, we deliver the piece that turns a landscaper's rendering into a working feature: the gas.
What's Involved
We scope the feature with your landscape or patio plan, spec burners and BTU output for the visual effect you're after, and engineer the base, drainage, and any water integration. Then we run and pressure-test the natural-gas or propane supply, install ignition and safety controls, and pull the permits. Whether it's a single dramatic bowl or a coordinated set of elements, we build for reliable, all-season performance — and, with millivolt ignition, flame that survives a power outage.
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.
