Lake Lure's lakefront homes and mountain properties deserve top-quality fireplace and outdoor-living service.

Whether it's a seasonal cabin or your year-round home, we'll keep you warm and gathered around the fire.
Outdoor living is a year-round draw in Lake Lure — mild shoulder seasons and cool mountain evenings make a fire feature the heart of a patio. Lake Lure 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 Rutherford County and engineered for WNC weather.
A fire feature is the anchor that keeps a patio usable long after sunset, and it covers everything between a fire pit and a full outdoor fireplace — linear fire tables, glass-bead troughs, fire-and-water bowls, and built-in wall burners. Steady Flame installs manufactured gas fire features and custom hardscape burners, matching the burner and media to the look you want, from lava rock to tempered fire glass.
What Goes Into It
The heart of any permanent feature is the burner pan and the fuel that feeds it, and that is where our license matters. We run the gas supply, install a listed burner with proper air mixing, and add an accessible shutoff plus optional electronic ignition or flame-sensing safety. Every media choice affects clearances and airflow, so we set them to the manufacturer's spec instead of eyeballing it. After connection we pressure-test the line, dial in a full, even flame, and walk you through safe lighting so your feature performs night after night.
Heating Challenges in Lake Lure
Lake Lure's unique gorge microclimate creates temperature extremes — the surrounding cliffs trap heat in summer and funnel cool air in the evenings, making a fireplace a welcome comfort on cool lakeside nights. Humidity from the lake can be hard on masonry chimneys and outdoor fire features, so proper materials and sealing matter. Many lakefront properties have challenging access, requiring careful planning for fireplace and outdoor-living installations.
Seasonal Tip for Lake Lure Homeowners
Lake Lure's lakeside evenings turn cool even in summer, making an outdoor fireplace or gas fire pit the heart of waterfront entertaining. For indoor hearths, the lake's humidity means a stainless chimney cap and annual inspection go a long way toward protecting your fireplace.
