Every set on this page is a complete vent-free set: the Charisma Burncrete hybrid logs — eight hand-painted, whole-log pieces with natural bark detail — on the Monessen Glow Getter burner that fits them, with the grate, lava rock, rock wool, flex line and shutoff valve in the carton. The 18" set rides the 18" burner at 29,000 BTU/hr on natural gas (28,000 on propane); the 24" and 30" sets ride the 24" burner at 37,000 BTU/hr (36,000 on propane). Pick millivolt standing pilot — with the on/off switch log, or with an on/off, thermostatic or variable-flame remote — or IntelliFire Plus electronic ignition with its RC300 remote and four-AA battery pack; nothing on this page needs a power outlet. from $1,158, with a 5-year parts warranty on the burner and logs.
Choose it if you want the whole-log look — bark detail rather than split faces — with the Glow Getter's multi-peak flame and active ember bed, in an existing masonry or factory-built fireplace or in a Monessen Exacta, Attribute or Lo-Rider vent-free firebox, and you want to size the set to the opening: 27" of front width for the 18" set, 31" for the 24", 34" for the 30", all at 14" deep and 20" high.
It is not right as a primary heat source — the manual approves it as a supplemental room heater or decorative appliance, and an unvented burner adds about an ounce of water vapor to the room for every 1,000 BTU it burns in an hour. It cannot go in a bedroom or bathroom, in a factory-built fireplace whose instructions exclude unvented gas logs, or behind glass doors that will be closed while it runs; a glass-door frame or recessed hearth that stands more than 3" in front of the set is not recommended at all. The room also has to be big enough — 50 cubic feet for every 1,000 BTU/hr of gas appliances in it, 1,450 cubic feet for the 18" burner and 1,850 for the 24" — and above 2,000 feet the input is derated 4% per 1,000 feet.
The minimum fireplace for the burner with its Charisma logs is 27" wide at the front, 14" deep and 20" high with a 20" rear width for the 18" set; the 24" set needs 31" at the front and 24" at the rear, the 30" set 34" and 27", both at the same depth and height, with the set placed against or as near as possible to the rear wall. A glass-door frame or lip of up to 3" in front of the set raises the minimum depth to 16". Sidewalls stay 9" from the side of the fireplace opening and the ceiling 42" above it; the wall above the opening must be non-combustible for at least 12" (8" to 12" with the CABL adjustable hood, less than 8" is not allowed), a combustible mantel sits 14" to 23" above the opening depending on how deep it is, and the floor in front may be any combustible material except carpet or vinyl, which stay 14" back — with vinyl running to the wall, 14" of floor protection or an opening raised 12" is recommended. In a vent-free firebox the firebox manufacturer's clearances govern. Inlet pressure runs 5" to 10" W.C. on natural gas and 11" to 13" W.C. on propane through a 3/8" line to the right-rear inlet; each set is built for one gas and cannot be converted in the field. The burner weighs 25 lb (18") or 28 lb (24") and anchors to the fireplace floor with two screws.
The Moxie and Dynamo sets ride the same Glow Getter burner in the same three sizes, with the same fuels, ignitions, remotes and ratings — the difference is the logs. Charisma is the whole-log stack with natural bark detail; Moxie is the split-oak style eight-piece stack that looks freshly chopped, and it needs the same fireplace as the Charisma (27", 31" or 34" of front width). Dynamo's seven generously sized logs are coloured to simulate a random wood stack and need a wider fireplace — 29", 33" or 36" at the front. This Charisma set starts at from $1,158; the Moxie set starts at from $1,158 and the Dynamo set at from $1,188.
No — every set on this page is an unvented room heater that burns room air, so it runs with no flue. It is also listed (in the U.S.) as a vented gas log set, so if your fireplace cannot meet the vent-free wall or mantel clearances you install and run it with the chimney and damper open instead — with the damper held open to the free area in the manual's tables and no thermostat. Either way it goes into a solid-fuel masonry fireplace, a UL127 factory-built fireplace or a listed vent-free firebox, and the room must give it 50 cubic feet of volume for every 1,000 BTU/hr of gas appliances in it.
Measure the hearth the burner and logs will sit in. The 18" set on its 18" burner needs 27" of front width, 14" of depth and 20" of height with 20" across the back; the 24" set needs 31" at the front and 24" at the back; the 30" set 34" and 27" — the depth and height stay the same, and the set sits against or as close as possible to the rear wall. If a glass-door frame or a recessed hearth stands up to 3" in front of the set, plan on 16" of depth instead. Monessen's own vent-free fireboxes pair the 18" set with the Exacta 32 and Attribute 32, the 24" set with the Exacta 36, Attribute 36 and Lo-Rider 36, and the 30" set with the Exacta 42, Attribute 42 and Lo-Rider 42.
The clearances are the same for every set on this page. The ceiling must be at least 42" above the top of the fireplace opening and sidewalls at least 9" from its sides; the wall directly above the opening must be non-combustible for at least 12" (8" to 12" is allowed with the CABL adjustable hood, less than 8" is not allowed). A combustible mantel needs 14" above the opening if it is 3" deep, 17" at 6", 20" at 9" and 23" at 12" — the hood cuts each of those by 6". If your fireplace cannot meet them, the set must be installed and run as a vented appliance with the damper open. In a Monessen vent-free firebox, the firebox's own clearances apply. Send us your mantel depth and we will check the table with you.
Yes, on every one — nothing on this page uses house current. The millivolt models light from a piezo igniter and run on the valve's own thermopile, and the IntelliFire Plus models run their pilot and RC300 remote from four AA batteries in the included battery pack, so a dark house still gets a fire.
All five choices light the same burner and logs; they differ in how you run it. Millivolt standing pilot is the no-electricity classic: "Manual" gives you the on/off switch log, "On/Off Remote" adds the RCB battery remote, "Thermostatic Remote" adds the TSST touch-screen thermostat remote with its TS sensor so the set holds a room temperature (unvented installations only — thermostats are not allowed when it is run vented), and "Variable Flame Remote" adds the Hi/Lo kit for flame height from the couch. Electronic ignition is the IntelliFire Plus system: no standing pilot burning between fires, battery powered, with the RC300 remote that also adjusts flame height.
Yes — the manual approves installation in an aftermarket, permanently located manufactured (mobile) home where local codes do not prohibit it, in a fireplace or firebox that meets the same hearth and clearance rules as any other install.
No. The vent-free burner and logs carry 5 years on parts, the valve, pilot, module and remote 2 years, other parts and purchased accessories 1 year, and the coverage transfers to a later owner of the home. Keep your invoice and the model number from the burner's rating plate; we hold the rest on file.
