Outdoor Fireplace Planning Notes

Flare outdoor vent-free fireplaces are designed for outdoor use only in well-ventilated spaces. They are not designed for use inside a building, garage, home, or enclosed area.

For technical planning, always follow the Flare Outdoor Vent-Free Installation Manual, local code requirements, and the project-specific requirements from the architect, builder, installer, and authority having jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flare Outdoor Fireplaces

What outdoor fireplace styles does Flare offer?

Flare offers outdoor vent-free fireplaces in front-facing, see-through, left-corner, right-corner, and double-corner configurations.

What sizes are available for Flare Outdoor Fireplaces?

Flare outdoor vent-free fireplaces are available in lengths from 50″ up to 100″, with 16″ or 24″ opening heights depending on the model.

Are Flare Outdoor Fireplaces certified for outdoor use?

Yes. Flare Outdoor Vent-Free Fireplaces are design certified to ANSI Z21.11.2 / CSA 2.41 for Outdoor Gas Fireplaces and are rated for commercial and residential use when installed according to the Flare installation manual, rating plate, and local code requirements.

Can a Flare outdoor fireplace be installed inside a home or garage?

No. Flare Outdoor Fireplaces are for outdoor use only. They must be installed in a well-ventilated outdoor space and cannot be used inside a building, garage, home, or enclosed area.

Can logs be used in a Flare outdoor fireplace?

Flare outdoor fireplaces can be equipped with different media types, but Flare recommends using fire glass for outdoor fireplaces because ceramic logs, stones, or branches may break down faster when exposed to outdoor elements. Always use approved media and follow the Flare installation manual.

Can I install a TV above a Flare Outdoor Vent-Free Fireplace?

Yes, it may be possible, but the design must be planned carefully because vent-free fireplaces release significant heat from the opening. Flare recommends recessing the TV or using a large non-combustible mantel or heat-deflection detail to help move heat away from the TV. Install and operate the fireplace first, then test the temperature at the planned TV location before installing the TV.

Are Flare outdoor fireplaces ventless?

Yes. Flare outdoor fireplaces are ventless — also called vent-free — so no chimney, flue, or venting run is required. That makes them suitable for patios, rooftops, pool areas, and outdoor living spaces where running a vent would be impractical. Flare ventless outdoor gas fireplaces are design certified to ANSI Z21.11.2 / CSA 2.41 for Outdoor Gas Fireplaces and are for outdoor use only — they cannot be installed inside a building, garage, home, or enclosed area.

Can you have an outdoor gas fireplace?

Yes — provided the unit is certified for outdoor use and installed outdoors. Flare outdoor fireplaces are compatible with natural gas or liquid propane, so the fuel type should be specified to match the gas supply available at the site, and the connection made by a qualified installer. Installation must be in a well-ventilated outdoor space: these units cannot be used inside a building, garage, home, or any enclosed area. Before specifying or installing, follow the Flare Outdoor Vent-Free Installation Manual, the rating plate, local code requirements, and the authority having jurisdiction.

Are outdoor gas fireplaces worth it?

It depends how you plan to use the space. Against a wood-burning outdoor fireplace, a gas unit lights instantly, needs no wood storage, leaves no embers or ash to clear, and shuts off the moment you go inside. A vent-free outdoor model also avoids building a chimney or flue run — often the largest line item in an outdoor fireplace project. The trade-offs are a gas supply connection and a higher unit cost than a basic fire pit. Where the fireplace is a permanent architectural feature rather than an occasional novelty, the running convenience usually justifies it.

What is the best outdoor gas fireplace?

There is no single best model — the right one depends on the opening, the viewing angle, and the fuel available at the site. Four things decide it: the configuration (front-facing, see-through, or a corner view), the length and opening height the wall or enclosure can carry, whether the unit is design certified for outdoor use to ANSI Z21.11.2 / CSA 2.41, and whether it runs on the gas supply you have. Flare offers five outdoor configurations — front-facing, see-through, left-corner, right-corner and double-corner — from 50″ to 100″, with 16″ or 24″ opening heights, in natural gas or liquid propane.

What is the lifespan of an outdoor gas fireplace?

Service life depends more on installation and exposure than on the unit itself — drainage, weather protection and correct clearances do most of the work. As an indication of expected life, Flare covers the firebox and burners under a Limited Lifetime warranty, ceramic and tempered glass for five years against thermal breakage, and electronic components including the gas valve, receiver, remote and LED controller for 18 months. Coverage excludes damage from improper installation or exposure to water and moisture, which is exactly why siting and drainage are worth getting right at design stage. Full terms are on the Flare warranty page.
