Located just outside Brevard near the entrance to Pisgah National Forest, Pisgah Forest is a natural extension of our Transylvania County service area. Steady Flame provides fireplaces, inserts, and chimney service to Pisgah Forest homeowners who face the challenges of living in one of the wettest areas in the eastern United States.
Pisgah Forest 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 Pisgah Forest, 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.
Shiplap gives a fireplace that clean, modern-farmhouse look, horizontal boards running up a feature wall to a mantel and hearth. Steady Flame Fireplaces designs shiplap fireplaces that look effortless and, more importantly, stay safe around real heat. The key is clearances: wood paneling is combustible, so we plan the layout around the appliance's listed distances and use non-combustible materials wherever the code and the firebox demand it. The result is a warm, inviting wall that meets the standards the manufacturer set.
What's Involved
We frame the feature wall, install the firebox, and set proper non-combustible surrounds and hearth before the shiplap goes up, so the wood keeps a safe distance from the heat. As a licensed gas-piping contractor, we can run the gas or propane line and pull the permits North Carolina requires, then set a Napoleon, Kozy Heat, or Dimplex appliance to suit your fuel. We finish with paint-grade or stained boards and a mantel that ties the room together, giving you a stylish centerpiece that also delivers dependable, outage-proof heat when winter storms hit the mountains.
Heating Challenges in Pisgah Forest
Pisgah Forest shares Transylvania County's extreme rainfall — averaging 80+ inches per year — which is tough on masonry chimneys and outdoor fire features. Homes near the Davidson River and Pisgah National Forest are heavily shaded by mature canopy, keeping interiors cool and increasing the appeal of a warm fireplace, while debris from overhanging trees can collect on chimney caps and spark arrestors. Many properties here are older, with chimneys that benefit from a fresh liner or a sealed insert.
Seasonal Tip for Pisgah Forest Homeowners
Pisgah Forest's heavy tree canopy drops leaves and debris on chimney caps and outdoor fireplaces faster than in open areas. Keep your cap and spark arrestor clear, and schedule an annual chimney sweep each spring to keep your fireplace drafting safely.
