Can you build an outdoor fireplace or fire pit in Waynesville?

Yes — outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, and patio fire features are some of our most-requested projects in Waynesville. In Waynesville's propane areas we can run a dedicated line from your tank so you're not hauling portable cylinders. We build wood and gas versions, and because we're licensed for gas piping, we run the fuel line too — permitted through Haywood County and built for WNC weather.

We're on propane in Waynesville — does that change a fireplace install?

It does. Waynesville is propane country rather than natural gas, so a gas fireplace or insert here ties into your owner-owned or leased tank. That means the line has to be sized for the burner's BTU load, the regulator has to be set correctly, and the whole system pressure-tested — work only a licensed gas-piping contractor can legally do. Steady Flame handles all of it and permits the job through Haywood County. If a tank isn't practical, a wood stove or electric fireplace may be the better call, and we'll tell you so.

What areas in Waynesville does Steady Flame serve?

We install and service fireplaces, stoves, inserts, and gas lines throughout Waynesville and Haywood County, including Downtown Waynesville, Frog Level, Hazelwood, Lake Junaluska, Maggie Valley Road.

Steady Flame Fireplaces has been the licensed hearth team that Waynesville area homeowners trust since 2005.

Nestled in the Smoky Mountains, Waynesville homeowners face cold winters that make a dependable fireplace essential.

We're just a short drive down I-40 from our Asheville showroom.

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

Built to Last Outdoors

Outdoor installations have to stand up to weather, and gas ones need a fuel supply routed and rated for exterior use — which is exactly the licensed work we're built for. We run and pressure-test the outdoor gas line (natural gas from the home's supply or propane from a tank), size it for the fireplace and any other outdoor appliances on the run, and connect everything to code. We handle clearances, venting where required, and coordination with your patio or hardscape. Because we're a licensed gas contractor as well as a hearth company, we can take an outdoor fireplace from concept to first fire without subbing out the fuel side. Every install is permitted with your county — Buncombe, Henderson, Haywood, or Transylvania — and backed by our workmanship guarantee, so your patio centerpiece is safe, solid, and ready for years of mountain evenings.

Heating Challenges in Waynesville

At nearly 2,650 feet, Waynesville averages 10–15°F colder than lower-elevation WNC towns in winter. Homes here rely on their fireplaces far more, making efficient wood and gas inserts a smart way to cut heating costs. The Hazelwood neighborhood's older housing stock sees some of the biggest comfort gains from swapping open, drafty fireplaces for high-efficiency inserts or freestanding stoves.

Seasonal Tip for Waynesville Homeowners

Waynesville's higher elevation means your heating season runs roughly 3 weeks longer than Asheville's. We recommend scheduling a chimney inspection and fireplace service by mid-September so your wood stove or gas insert is ready for a long, cold mountain winter.
