Old Fort sits at the foot of the mountains in McDowell County, a historic railroad town where the tracks begin their steep climb toward the Eastern Continental Divide and the Catawba River gathers from Curtis and Mill Creeks. At about 1,440 feet it's a gateway between the Piedmont and the high country, drawing a growing outdoor-recreation crowd to its trails and campgrounds. Helene's flooding tore through the Catawba and its tributaries here, and as the town rebuilds, dependable propane and wood heat is a priority for homes rattled by the outage. Natural gas is limited in the area, so hearths run on propane and cordwood.

Old Fort 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 Old Fort, and — unlike a showroom or a mason — we're licensed to run the gas line ourselves. Every combustion install is permitted and inspected through McDowell County. Since Helene, more homeowners here treat a fireplace as backup heat that works when the grid doesn't.

Kozy Heat has been building fireplaces by hand in Lakefield, Minnesota since 1976 — a family-owned maker that, like Steady Flame, stakes its name on units that actually heat a room. We install the full range, from the compact Bayport and Chaska to the dramatic Slayton linear, in gas and wood configurations built for real cold-weather performance.
