Steady Flame Fireplaces has been the licensed hearth team that Cashiers area homeowners trust since 2005.
Cashiers' luxury mountain homes and vacation properties deserve expert fireplace service. Steady Flame provides gas, wood, and electric fireplaces plus chimney service to Cashiers and the surrounding Jackson County highlands. We understand the challenges of maintaining a fireplace at 3,500 feet in one of the wettest areas in the eastern U.S.
Outdoor living is a year-round draw in Cashiers — mild shoulder seasons and cool mountain evenings make a fire feature the heart of a patio. Cashiers 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 Jackson County and engineered for WNC weather.
Nothing beats the crackle and glow of a real wood fire, and a well-built wood-burning fire pit gives you that without a single gas connection. Steady Flame designs and installs wood pits with proper airflow, a durable steel or masonry fire ring, and the clearances that keep sparks away from your home, fence, and low branches. Because wood needs no gas and no electricity, it's the simplest outage-proof heat source you can own.
What's Involved
We help you choose a location that respects setback and clearance rules, then prep a level, non-combustible base that won't heave or crack. We set the ring or bowl, build up the surround in stone or block, and finish with a spark-guard or cooking grate if you want one. Every pit is sized for safe, steady flame — not a bonfire — so you get lasting warmth, easy cleanup, and a gathering spot that works even when the power's out.
Heating Challenges in Cashiers
Cashiers sits on a high plateau at nearly 3,500 feet with cold, wet winters and cool summers — a climate where a fireplace is used much of the year. The area's heavy concentration of luxury second homes means fireplaces often serve intermittently, demanding instant, reliable performance when owners arrive; sealed gas fireplaces and inserts are ideal. The region's 80+ inches of annual rainfall rivals Brevard, making chimney waterproofing and quality caps essential.
Seasonal Tip for Cashiers Homeowners
Cashiers property owners who leave homes unoccupied should choose gas fireplaces and inserts they can light instantly on arrival. Before each season, have your fireplace and chimney inspected — and protect masonry chimneys with a stainless cap and waterproofing against the area's relentless rain.
