Description
The Majestic Vesper is an outdoor gas fireplace with a herringbone or traditional interior and a log set, in 36 and 42 inch, for an outdoor living room. It comes in 2 sizes: 36", 42".
Who it's for
Right buyer. You want an outdoor gas fireplace with a traditional look, a herringbone or standard interior and a log set, in 36 or 42 inch.
Wrong buyer. You want a linear, glass-media outdoor fire; the Lanai.
How it performs
The Vesper is the outdoor fireplace with a herringbone or traditional interior and a log set, for the patio that wants a hearth rather than a ribbon of flame.
Good to know
- Outdoors only; non-combustible enclosure.
- Log sets are separate.

Clearances
Clearances are to combustible materials, from the appliance. They come from the installation manual for this model and depend on how it is vented; the installer confirms them on site.
Notes from the manual
Enclosure: guide states the unit can be adapted for use in enclosed locations; check building codes in your area. Combustible materials may NOT cover the metal face of the firebox. Seal joint with non-combustible sealant. Reducing clearances further than those shown requires non-combustible construction materials to a height of 12 in. above the framing height. Mantel and mantel-leg charts (measured from top of appliance opening; 3 in. min, 18 in. max; minimum side wall 12/9 and 6/6 callouts) printed as graphics, not transcribed.

Installation
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.
