Leicester is a growing community in western Buncombe County, just minutes from downtown Asheville along NC-63.

Our proximity means fast response times and same-day service availability throughout the Leicester area.
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.
Outdoor fire pits take a beating from weather, spiders, moisture, and hard use, and a pit that won't light or barely flickers usually points to a fixable fault. Steady Flame repairs gas and wood pits alike — clearing clogged burner ports, replacing corroded burners and pans, fixing igniters and thermocouples, swapping bad gas valves, and rebuilding weather-damaged stone or media. Because we're licensed for gas work, we can safely troubleshoot the line and pressure, not just the parts you can see.
What's Involved
We inspect the burner, ignition, valve, and gas supply to find the real cause rather than throwing parts at it. Common culprits include spider webs blocking orifices, oxidized burners, moisture-shorted igniters, and low propane pressure. We test for leaks, clean or replace the failed component, and re-verify safe operation. Where stone or a fire ring has cracked or shifted, we repair the masonry too — so your pit is both safe and looking right again.
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.
