Who It's For

A traditional fireplace box can look dated in a modern room, and a blank wall gives the eye nowhere to land. You need a fire with clean, horizontal lines that anchors the room and still puts out real heat. If you are building or remodeling and want a contemporary gas fire for a living area of roughly 950 to 1,900 square feet, the Esprit L44 is the one. Like any built-in fireplace, it frames into the wall and is finished around it, so the wall is part of the project.

What Makes It Special

The Esprit is a linear fire about 46 inches wide that ships with a painted black firebox, a black glass bed, top lighting, and a remote. Press a button and the fire is on; adjust it with the remote and the flame comes down by about a third for a softer evening.

You can change the look without changing the fireplace: three firebox panel choices, an optional log set, and an ember-bed lighting kit. The pilot lights when you turn the fire on and goes out when you turn it off, so there is no flame burning gas between fires.

Possible Downsides

If you want a modern linear gas fire that becomes the focal point of a new or remodeled room, the Esprit L44 is the right decision. The wall you used to walk past becomes the first thing everyone notices.

The Esprit L44 takes Black Porcelain, Fluted, or Ledgestone firebox panels, an optional Birchwood log set, an ember-bed lighting kit, an optional blower, and a propane conversion kit.
