Leicester is a growing community in western Buncombe County, just minutes from downtown Asheville along NC-63.

Our proximity means fast response times and same-day service availability throughout the Leicester area.
Outdoor living is a year-round draw in Leicester — mild shoulder seasons and cool mountain evenings make a fire feature the heart of a patio. Leicester 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 Buncombe County and engineered for WNC weather.
Stone gives a fire pit that timeless, built-into-the-mountain look Western North Carolina homeowners love. Steady Flame builds pits from natural fieldstone, river rock, cut stone, and stone veneer, laying each course by hand so the finished feature feels like it grew out of the landscape. Beyond looks, real stone shrugs off heat, weather, and years of use far better than a thin metal bowl. Whether you burn wood or gas, we build the structure to hold up.
What's Involved
We start with a solid, well-drained footing — critical in our freeze-thaw climate — then lay the stone around a steel liner that protects the masonry from direct flame. You pick the stone type and cap; we handle the mortar work, the fire-rated core, and, for gas versions, the licensed piping and permit. The payoff is a rugged, low-maintenance centerpiece that ages beautifully and stands up to decades of mountain seasons.
Heating Challenges in Leicester
Leicester's rural character means many homes sit on larger properties where a new gas line to a fireplace, stove, or outdoor fire feature takes planning, and many rely on propane rather than natural gas. Wood heat is popular here, so quality wood stoves and inserts — plus proper chimney installation and sweeping — are in steady demand. Some remote Leicester properties have limited electrical capacity, a factor when choosing an electric fireplace.
Seasonal Tip for Leicester Homeowners
Leicester's rural valleys can be 5–8°F colder than Asheville on clear winter nights due to cold-air drainage. A high-efficiency wood stove or gas insert makes a real difference here — and if you burn wood, schedule a chimney sweep every fall to keep creosote buildup from becoming a fire hazard.
