Description
The Majestic Courtyard is an outdoor gas fireplace with a traditional open firebox, stainless steel burner and a choice of refractory, in 36 and 42 inch, for a patio or outdoor room. It comes in 2 sizes: 36", 42".
Who it's for
Right buyer. You are building an outdoor living room and want a traditional open gas fireplace with a stainless burner and a choice of refractory, in 36 or 42 inch.
Wrong buyer. You want a linear look outdoors; the Lanai. You want one fireplace serving the room and the patio; the Twilight or Fortress.
How it performs
The Courtyard is the outdoor fireplace that looks like an indoor one: a traditional open firebox with a stainless burner and a choice of refractory, built into a patio wall. Turn it on from the wall switch and the outdoor room is warm enough to sit in for another hour or two of the evening.
Good to know
- Outdoors only; it is not a heater for an enclosed room.
- It needs a non-combustible enclosure and the clearances the manual gives.
- Weather reaches it; cover it in the off season.

Installation
Electrical: 110-120Vac, 60Hz., less than 12 Amperes (total electrical requirements, owner's manual label text)
No venting. Outdoor gas fireplaces burn in the open air and are built with stainless and weather-rated components. The unit is installed in a non-combustible enclosure per the manual, outdoors only unless the model is rated indoor-outdoor.
Planning the install
- Installation is by a licensed gas installer. The fireplace, its venting and the gas line are inspected together, and the warranty depends on it.
- Framing, clearances to combustibles, mantel heights and the vent run come from the installation manual for your size. Send us your plan and we will check it before anything ships.
- Venting is sold separately and priced from the installer's plan: the pipe, elbows and termination depend on where the vent exits. Ask us for a vent quote with your order.
- Propane: every model is also made in an LP version at the same price. Add a note to your order and we will confirm the LP model before it ships.
- A 120-volt outlet or junction box at the fireplace is needed for the fan, lights and accessories; the ignition itself has battery backup.
- Special-order goods ship by freight. Confirm the size and the front before you order.
Questions
Can it go indoors?
Only the models Majestic rates indoor-outdoor, and only installed as the manual describes, with the required venting. Outdoor-only models must stay outside.
Does it need electricity?
The IntelliFire models need 120 volts for the ignition, fan and lights; the match-lit and manual-ignition models do not.
What is a front, and why is it required?
A Majestic direct-vent fireplace ships as the firebox and glass. The front is the finished face that covers the frame and the vents: a clean-face trim that disappears into the wall, or a decorative front with a screen. The fireplace cannot be finished without one, which is why the page will not let you order without choosing it.
What is IntelliFire Touch?
Majestic's intermittent-pilot ignition system. There is no standing pilot burning all year; the fireplace lights when you turn it on, from the wall switch, the remote or the app. It has a battery backup, so it still lights in a power outage. Flame height, the fan and the lights are controlled from the RC400 remote or the IntelliFire app with the Wi-Fi module.
Can I get it in propane?
Yes. Add a note to your order and we will confirm the LP model, which is the same price.
Can I return it?
Fireplaces are special-order freight items. Confirm the size, the front and the interior with us before you order, and contact us before returning anything.
