Chimney Rock is the iconic tourist village at the mouth of Hickory Nut Gorge, where the Rocky Broad River tumbles past Main Street beneath the granite monolith of Chimney Rock State Park and Lake Lure lies just downstream. At around 1,000 feet the village sits low, but the gorge walls rise steeply and funnel weather in dramatic ways. This community was among the hardest hit by Hurricane Helene, with the river tearing through Main Street, and as owners rebuild, a reliable propane or wood hearth is central to restoring warm, livable homes. With no natural gas in the gorge, heating here has always meant propane and wood.

Outdoor living is a year-round draw in Chimney Rock — mild shoulder seasons and cool mountain evenings make a fire feature the heart of a patio. Chimney Rock 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.

An outdoor fireplace turns a patio into a destination — the anchor of a backyard that stays usable well into the cool Western North Carolina evenings that our elevation gives us most of the year. Steady Flame Fireplaces installs gas and wood-burning outdoor fireplaces across the region, from clean modern linear gas units on a covered porch to substantial stone wood-burning fireplaces that become the centerpiece of an entire outdoor living space. In the mountains, where summer nights turn crisp and shoulder-season evenings are prime patio time, an outdoor fireplace genuinely extends how much of the year you spend outside.

The fuel choice shapes the experience. A gas outdoor fireplace lights instantly and cleanly, with no smoke drift and no ash to deal with — ideal for entertaining and for homeowners who want flame on demand at the flip of a switch. A wood-burning outdoor fireplace delivers the crackle, aroma, and radiant heat of a real fire and doubles as a gathering point for s'mores and long conversations. Many of our clients pair either one with the rest of an outdoor living build — a fire pit, a built-in grill, an outdoor kitchen — into one connected space.
