Steady Flame Fireplaces has been the licensed hearth team that Cedar Mountain area homeowners trust since 2005.
Cedar Mountain is a wooded community in southern Transylvania County near the DuPont State Recreational Forest, known for its waterfalls, summer camps, and cabins tucked among the pines toward the South Carolina line. At about 2,400 feet it's classic waterfall country, with homes ranging from rustic camps to newer mountain retreats spread along quiet forest roads. There's no natural gas here, so fireplaces run on propane and wood, a natural fit for cabins deep in the woods that lose power in mountain storms. Since Helene, backup heat that works off the grid has become a top request among area homeowners.
Cedar Mountain 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 install gas, wood, and electric fireplaces, inserts, and stoves in Cedar Mountain, and — unlike a showroom or a mason — we're licensed to run the gas line ourselves. Every combustion install is permitted and inspected through Transylvania County. Since Helene, more homeowners here treat a fireplace as backup heat that works when the grid doesn't.
HearthStone stoves are wrapped in genuine Vermont soapstone, a dense natural stone that absorbs the fire's heat and then releases it slowly and evenly for hours — a softer, more comfortable warmth than steel or iron alone. Steady Flame installs the full HearthStone lineup of soapstone wood and gas stoves, and our NFI-certified crew has set them across the mountains since 2005.
What's Involved
A HearthStone install begins with a home evaluation: floor loading for the stone's weight, wall clearances, chimney condition, and your fuel type. Wood models get a correctly sized stainless liner or Class A system; gas models receive sealed venting and, where needed, a licensed gas line — piping that North Carolina law lets only a licensed gas contractor install, not a showroom or mason. We pull the permit, set the stove to HearthStone's spec, and meet the inspector for sign-off. Because the soapstone keeps radiating heat long after a wood fire dies down and needs no electricity, a HearthStone is dependable backup warmth when the grid fails, as WNC learned during Helene.
Heating Challenges in Cedar Mountain
Cabins and camps around Cedar Mountain often center on a wood-burning fireplace or stove that owners want made more efficient with an insert. Homes in gated communities like Connestee Falls and Sherwood Forest favor clean-face propane units for open, view-oriented rooms. Because many are second homes, we size propane hearths for easy switch-on heat that also protects the house during winter absences.
Seasonal Tip for Cedar Mountain Homeowners
At 2,400 feet Cedar Mountain's heavy tree cover and moisture keep it cool and damp, so keep firewood well seasoned and covered and have your propane fireplace checked before leaf season brings the cabins to life.
