Majestic Biltmore Open Wood Fireplace — Homeowner Guide

The Majestic Biltmore is designed for one thing: a true open-hearth fire experience. With no glass barrier and a full masonry-style presentation, it delivers the look and feel of a custom-built fireplace in a factory-built system. This is not a high-efficiency heater—it’s an architectural centerpiece built around flame, scale, and presence.

1. Performance & Configuration

The Biltmore is a radiant fireplace designed for ambiance and a traditional fire experience:

  • • Open Hearth Design: No glass barrier for a fully unobstructed flame view.
  • • Wood Burning: Designed for traditional cordwood fires.
  • • Gas Log Compatible: Can be fitted with vented gas logs (optional).
  • • Radiant Heat: Passive warmth—no blower or fan required.
  • • Flush Hearth Option: Fireplace floor can sit level with the room for a true masonry look.
  • • UL Listed: Certified for safety in U.S. installations.

2. Essential Components

This is a system fireplace, meaning your full installation includes multiple required parts:

  • • Firebox Unit: Core structure with open face and lintel.
  • • Refractory Brick Panels: Choose traditional or herringbone interior finish.
  • • Chimney System: Requires Majestic SL1100 Class A chimney system.
  • • Hearth Extension: Non-combustible floor protection required by code.
  • • Outside Air Kit: Included to support combustion and cooling.

3. Sizing & Viewing Area

Measure your wall space. This fireplace is built around scale; the listed size refers to the opening width.

Opening Width Best For
36" Accent walls & smaller rooms
42" Standard living spaces
50" Large rooms & great room layouts

* The larger the opening, the more dramatic the flame presentation.

4. Clearances & Installation

Because this is a true open wood-burning fireplace, clearances are critical:

Requirement Clearance
Chimney Height 18–20 ft 
Chase Clearance ~1.5" air space
Mantel Clearance ~12–22" 
Side Wall Clearance ~24" from opening

Professional installation is strongly recommended. Always verify final clearances with the installation manual and local code.

5. Design & Aesthetics

The Biltmore is built to look like a custom masonry fireplace. Features include a clean-face design for finish materials, flexible hearth styles (flush or raised), optional doors for style and function, and interior options ranging from traditional stacked brick to herringbone.

Bottom Line

If you’re building a space around a fireplace and want a true open flame experience, the Biltmore is built for that purpose. It delivers scale, authenticity, and visual impact—ideal for homeowners prioritizing design and atmosphere over high-efficiency heating.
