"Retired librarian. Slid it into the wide farmhouse mantel that has been sitting cold since we lost our fireplace insurance rider. The red brick walls behind the flames make it look like the fireplace works again. It doesn't. But the living room finally feels lived in."

"Retired firefighter. Sits freestanding on the flat bluestone hearth in my mountain cabin. Log-effect flame with real red brick backing at dusk - guests always touch the glass to see if it's hot. It isn't. Cool to touch. Same certifications as the units we specified in code."
Marcus D. — New Hampshire
"1960s ranch house. Fits my existing masonry cutout with room on both sides. Remote and touch buttons, no app to configure. Under 50 dB - I can hear the TV over it. That is a spec that actually matters and the label doesn't lie about it."

Real Living Rooms. Real Cold Winter Nights. Real Log-Flame Insert With Red Brick Backing.
You have an existing wider mantel surround, a TV console cutout, or a sealed-off fireplace opening 26 inches or more across. You do not want to gut it, hire a contractor, and pay $2,000 for a real insert. That is what this is for.

Built to Last, Not to Impress
Built for the Wider Existing Fireplace, the TV Stand, and the Long Winter Evening.
Iron and steel housing. Tempered glass front. Decorative red brick side walls flanking the flame area. 1400W, 4,777 BTU, self-regulating. Front-strip vent design pushes warm air out the top so the glass stays cool to touch and nothing hot faces the room. Weighs 20.5 lbs - one person can carry it in from the porch and lift it into an opening without help.
Slide it in tonight. Warm the room while amber log flames dance behind tempered glass with red brick walls glowing on either side. The wider mantel you sealed off years ago is finally doing something again.
Drop It In. Plug It In. Warm the Room. Watch the Log Flame Against the Brick. Tonight.
Measure your existing opening against 27"W x 18"H x 8"D. If it fits, slide it in - the mounting flanges on the corners will screw into wood if you want it locked, otherwise gravity holds it. Plug into a standard wall outlet on its own circuit. Point the remote. Watch the amber logs light up with the red brick walls behind them.
No wall bracket to anchor into studs. No drywall to cut. No contractor. No inspection.
Real homeowners. Real insert.
Retired librarian. Slid it into the wide farmhouse mantel that has sat empty since we lost our fireplace insurance rider.
"When our insurance company dropped the fireplace coverage on our 1970s farmhouse we had to cap and never re-use the masonry fireplace. Wide brick surround, empty rectangular hole for a decade. My grandson lifted The Brickstone in from the front porch - twenty pounds, one person can handle it - and slid it into the opening. Plugged it in. The red brick walls inside the insert match the outside brick surround almost exactly. Guests who haven't been over in a while walk in and say \"you re-lit the fireplace\" and I let them think that for the first ten minutes."

Retired firefighter. 40 years in the trade. Ordered the Brickstone because it had every certification I check for and no smart-home nonsense.
"Retired fire captain, 40 years. I read the spec sheet - CSA certified, tempered cool-touch glass, overheat shutoff, front-strip vent so nothing hot faces the room - all the certifications and design details we specified in code. Bought one for my mountain cabin. Sits freestanding on the flat bluestone hearth from an old wood stove we pulled out fifteen years ago. Amber flame with red brick backing at dusk - my son-in-law reached for the glass to add a log the first time he saw it. That's the compliment."

1960s ranch. Fits my existing masonry cutout with room on both sides. Quiet enough that I hear the TV over it.
"Ranch house I bought in 1994. Original masonry fireplace opening, wide - measured 30 inches across. Been decorative-only since we capped the flue during the chimney inspection back in 2010. The Brickstone at 27 inches wide slid in with room to spare on both sides. Remote works from the couch, touch buttons on the top for when I lose it. Under 50 dB blower - I can hear the TV over it without turning it up. That is a spec that actually matters day to day and the label doesn't lie about it."

Slid it into our 1970s wide brick surround. Red brick walls inside match the outside brick almost exactly.
Wide 1970s brick fireplace surround, capped since 2008 when the chimney needed a rebuild we never paid for. My daughter helped me carry The Brickstone in - 20 pounds, easy for two people - and we slid it into the existing opening. The distinctive red brick walls INSIDE the insert visually blend with the outside masonry brick surrounding it. From 8 feet away it looks like the fireplace was rebuilt. From 3 feet away you see it's an insert but the brick backing is what sells it. Amber log flame on medium, thermostat at 72, and the living room feels the way it did before we capped the flue.
★★★★★
Retired. Wanted controls I understood. Remote and touch panel only. Perfect.
Every space heater I looked at came with an app requirement. I do not want an app. I am 69. I want a button, a remote, and a knob if possible. The Brickstone has the remote, has touch buttons on the top strip, no app, no WiFi setup, no Alexa. My husband and I set the thermostat to 72 with the remote from the couch and the flame comes on. When we go to bed we press the power button on the top. That is the entire user manual.

Retrofit into a wide TV console cutout. Perfect 26-inch fit.
Bought a large media console from a big-box store years ago. It came with a rectangular fireplace-insert cutout in the middle, sold with an optional insert that we never bought. That empty rectangle has annoyed my wife for eight years. Measured it at 28 x 20 - The Brickstone at 26 x 18 slid right in with about an inch of margin on each side. Held in by gravity and the flat back of the console. Wife stopped complaining, which is the review.

Contractor quoted $3,200 to convert my sealed-off fireplace. This was $475.
The wide masonry fireplace in our 1970s ranch has been sealed since 2015 - the chimney needed a full rebuild that we were not going to pay for. Contractor came out to quote a gas insert conversion: $3,200 for the insert, $1,800 for the gas line, plus permit inspection. About $5,600 total. I ordered The Brickstone for $475 and it slid into the existing opening. Plug in a nearby outlet. Done. Yes it's an electric log flame not real gas, but the red brick backing looks convincing at normal viewing distance. At about 8% of the cost and no permit, I can live with the tradeoff.

HVAC tech. 1400W verified with a clamp meter. Warms my 350 sq ft office.
HVAC / electrical tech, 22 years in the trade. Put a clamp meter on the plug: reads 11.7A at 120V under load = 1404W. Label says 1400W. Close enough that I have zero complaints. Coverage rating is 400 sq ft - I put mine in my 350 sq ft home office and it goes from 62 to 72 in about 22 minutes and holds it. Blower is genuinely quiet - I do not hear it over my keyboard from 6 feet away. Would not try to heat a 600 sq ft open room with this. Sized right for the small-to-medium room, which the label honestly says.
★★★★★
Guest bedroom retrofit. Painted-white brick fireplace opening. Perfect fit.
Small guest bedroom in our old farmhouse has an original painted-white brick fireplace opening - long since sealed. Fit The Brickstone into the opening and set the flame on low, thermostat 68. First guests to use the room this winter were my in-laws over Thanksgiving. They came out of the room the first morning saying "your guest room is the coziest room in the house now." Given my mother-in-law's standards, that is quite a compliment.

Sign In to ContinueSame insert family, wider and with a different interior look. The Brickstone is 18 inches wide with a plain black interior. The Brickstone is 26 inches wide with distinctive decorative red brick walls flanking the flame area for the look of a real masonry fireplace. Both drop into existing openings, both use the same 1400W element, both use the same remote-plus-touch controls. Pick The Brickstone if your existing opening is 27 inches or wider AND you want the red brick backing to visually blend with an existing brick or stone surround. Pick The Brickstone if your opening is narrower or you don't need the interior brick detail.
No. It is an LED-lit visual effect behind a tempered glass front, with a molded resin log bed that lights up and decorative red brick side walls that catch the amber flame reflection. The flames are convincing at normal viewing distance, especially in evening light, but there is no combustion, no real fire, no wood being burned. That's the tradeoff: you get a warm glow with no smoke, no ash, no chimney inspection, no wood to haul.
Any opening at least 27" wide, 18" tall, and 8" deep with a wall outlet within cord reach. Common installs: an existing sealed-off masonry fireplace with a wider opening, a large TV console with a fireplace-shaped cutout, a cabinet or built-in with a rectangular opening, or freestanding on a flat hearth stone / raised platform. There is no wall-mount bracket - this product is not designed to hang on a bare wall. If your opening is narrower, look at The Brickstone instead. Do NOT install into a working chimney flue where a real fire has ever burned - the flue soot could damage the electronics.
Wipe the tempered glass front with a soft dry cloth every few weeks to keep dust off the flame view. Occasionally vacuum the front-strip vent with a brush attachment to keep dust from building up on the heating element. The interior red brick walls are decorative resin panels - dust with the same soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or sprays anywhere near the vent, the top control panel, or the interior brick walls. Do not open the housing - there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
The flame-only mode (no heat) draws roughly 12-14W - about the same as a nightlight - and is designed for that. The heat mode should not be left running unattended, ever - that's true of any space heater. Use the 0.5-6 hour timer if you want the heat to run for a set period and then shut itself off. Never leave heat mode on when you leave the house or go to sleep.
At 27 x 18 x 8 inches and 20.5 lbs it will physically fit in a large fifth-wheel or park model with a built-in fireplace cutout, but it is too wide for most standard RVs. Draw is 1400W (about 12A at 120V), which means it needs its own dedicated circuit and will not run off a small inverter or off-grid solar setup unless you have significant generator capacity. If your generator is 3000W+ continuous, it will run fine. Small 1000W-1500W inverters cannot handle it.

Another cold night is coming. You already know what it feels like.
Every 1500W-class heater on the market makes the same heat. What differs about this one: 26 inches of realistic amber log flame with decorative red brick walls behind tempered glass, dropping straight into the wider existing fireplace opening, TV console cutout, or cabinet opening you already have. No contractor. No permit. No app to configure. Plug it in tonight and the room finally feels the way you wanted it to feel.
