Outdoor living is a year-round draw in Leicester — mild shoulder seasons and cool mountain evenings make a fire feature the heart of a patio. Leicester 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 Buncombe 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 Leicester
Leicester's rural character means many homes sit on larger properties where a new gas line to a fireplace, stove, or outdoor fire feature takes planning, and many rely on propane rather than natural gas. Wood heat is popular here, so quality wood stoves and inserts — plus proper chimney installation and sweeping — are in steady demand. Some remote Leicester properties have limited electrical capacity, a factor when choosing an electric fireplace.
Seasonal Tip for Leicester Homeowners
Leicester's rural valleys can be 5–8°F colder than Asheville on clear winter nights due to cold-air drainage. A high-efficiency wood stove or gas insert makes a real difference here — and if you burn wood, schedule a chimney sweep every fall to keep creosote buildup from becoming a fire hazard.
