Majestic Vented Gas Burner Kits with Contemporary Media

Majestic vented gas burner kits put a contemporary flame in a fireplace built for a traditional one. The burner and media go into the existing firebox, so the masonry stays as it is and only the fire changes.

Media instead of logs

A log set imitates wood. A burner kit does not try to. The media, sculptural shapes or crushed fire glass, is there to carry the flame and read as modern, which is what makes this the route to a contemporary hearth in an older fireplace.

Vented means you need a working chimney

Confirm this before anything else. These kits are vented: they need an open chimney or flue with the damper working. An existing vented fireplace qualifies, and so does a custom-built firebox with a flue, which is the route if you are building the enclosure yourself. A vent free firebox will not take one, and a sealed direct vent fireplace will not either, because that is a closed appliance with no route for an added burner.

What vented buys you, and what it costs

A vented burner is not held to the clean-burn limits a vent free appliance must meet, which is why the flame is taller and fuller. The cost is heat: most of the 68,000 BTU goes up the chimney. Choose vented for the fire and treat the warmth as incidental.

Frequently Asked Questions about Majestic Contemporary Vented Gas Burner Kits

What is a burner kit, as opposed to a log set?

Same job, different look, and the kit takes a decision off your hands. Both sit in an existing fireplace and produce the flame. A log set imitates wood; a burner kit uses contemporary media such as glass or sculptural shapes. Each kit ships with the burner and its approved media together, so the compatibility question is already answered rather than left to you.

Does it need a chimney?

Yes, an open chimney or flue. These are vented kits, so they need a working flue with the damper open. They suit an existing vented fireplace or a custom-built firebox with a flue, but a vented kit cannot go into a vent free firebox or a sealed direct vent appliance. That is the fact to confirm before ordering.

Why choose vented over vent free?

The flame. A vented burner produces a taller, fuller, more natural fire because it is not constrained by the clean-burn requirements a vent free appliance has to meet. The trade is heat: most of it goes up the chimney.

How much heat will I actually feel?

Less than the 68,000 BTU rating suggests, because a vented appliance sends most of its heat up the flue. Buy a vented kit for the fire, and treat the heat as a bonus rather than the reason.

Natural gas or propane?

Both are available. Confirm the fuel on the specific kit before ordering, and have any conversion done by a qualified installer.

Can I install one myself?

No. It needs a gas line connection in the firebox and the flue checked, both of which are licensed work in most places. Measuring your firebox and confirming the damper opens are the parts you can usefully do first.
