Heat & Glo: 6K

A real-looking log fire in a 36-inch opening, without paying for features you will never touch.

Quick Facts

• Heating Capacity: 750–1,500 sq ft
• Fuel: Natural gas or propane.
• Controls: Wall switch included; touchscreen remote or app control optional.
• Fan: Optional

Who It’s For

You want a fire you can turn on with a switch on a weeknight and actually feel from the couch. A gas fireplace should be simple. You need a traditional log fire that starts every time and stays quiet about it. The 6K is for the homeowner building or remodeling a family room who wants the classic look first and is happy to add extras later. Pick a stripped-down builder unit and you get a fire; pick the 6K and you get a fire people stop and look at.

What Makes It Special

Six ceramic fiber logs over glowing embers give the 6K the stacked-wood look of a real hearth, so the flame reads as a fire and not an appliance.

Electronic ignition means no pilot flame burning between fires, and battery backup keeps it working when the power goes out. When you want flame height control, add the touchscreen remote or the Wi-Fi module and adjust it from your chair.

Possible Downsides

• A front is required and sold separately. Every 6K needs one of the front styles to finish it.
• Flame adjustment needs an add-on. Out of the box it runs on the wall switch; height control comes with the remote or app module.

If you want a traditional log fire that just works, the 6K is the right decision. Cold evenings start with a click of the switch and end with everyone in the same room.

Finish it with a Folio, Folio with ClearVue mesh, Studio, Portrait with optional plated trim, Loft barn-door, Chapel arched, or hand-crafted Forge front; choose Serene Jute, Calm Umber, or Tranquil Greige brick or a two-sided black glass liner; swap in birch or driftwood logs; and add a fan, heat management, a mantel, or a stone surround.
