I am designing an outdoor masonry fire pit with the interior of the fire pit wall finished with fire bricks. I want to paint the fire bricks black. Do you have a high heat black paint that would work in this situation?
By Tyler M. - NFI Certified Specialist on March 21, 2013
Answer:
While we do not offer any specialty paints that can withstand the temperatures of a woodburning fire, we do have options if you are using gas. Please see these recommendations for painting the interior of your fireplace:
Copperfield Black Gas Appliance Firebox Paint
Stove Bright Flat Black Paint
Please note these paints will not last more than a season or two before the heat of the flames will cause it to peel and crack. None of our paints will withstand direct contact to flames over time.

We have a fireplace on an exterior wall. Behind the wall is an outdoor patio. Do you know of any 2-sided fireplaces that could be used in an indoor/outdoor application (such that one side opens inside the home while the other side opens onto an outdoor patio)?

I am a contractor who is going to build a custom stone outdoor fireplace at an apartment complex. I need four sets of 36” stainless steel framed tempered glass doors to use, as this fireplace is open on all four sides. What models do you have that might work for outdoor use?
on November 9, 2012
Answer:
You may consider something like this product:
Fireplace Glass Doors
These bi-fold doors are normally intended to be installed into an outdoor, manufactured fireplace. However, it would be possible to use the doors in conjunction with metal brackets for a custom project. I do not have any universal doors that are able to be installed outdoors. All models will be bi-fold manufactured doors, such as these.
Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Can the Napoleon fireplace model nopth31gtssp be converted to natural gas in Canada?
on November 9, 2012
Answer:
The NPL-PTH31GTSSP can indeed be converted to natural gas, as Napoleon does make a conversion kit available for this purpose. On our site, on the item page, you would select "Natural Gas" in the "Choose Fuel Type" drop-down menu under the pricing information. Please note the (+109) is the price increase that will be added to the sale price for the natural gas conversion kit.
Also, please note that as a US retailer, we are unable to ship Napoleon items to Canada. If you are interested in purchasing this unit from us, you would need to have a US shipping address. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.By Captain John on November 9, 2012
I am converting a wood burning fireplace to a vent free gas log fireplace. I want to cover the existing masonry block walls with red brick panels. The back wall is 25 inches and sidewalls are 18 inches. Is there a product that I can attach for a fresh new look?
on November 9, 2012
Answer:
I am sorry but we do not offer a product like what you have described. We only carry universal replacement refractory panels for wood-burning fireplaces, but these are not suitable for use in a masonry fireplace. We apologize for the inconvenience.By Jacob on November 9, 2012
I just built an outdoor hearth fireplace and am wondering which burner system to put in it. I would like to be able to use natural wood and fake wood.
on November 9, 2012
Answer:
In order to utilize both real and faux logs in an outdoor fireplace, you would need to utilize a stainless steel log lighter such as this one:
Stainless Steel Log Lighter.
This item is basically a single tube burner assembly that can be used to light real wood or can give the necessary ambiance to a faux log setup. It is also durable enough to handle the outdoor elements and being covered in ash for extended periods. Unfortunately, the more sophisticated outdoor gas log burners are not capable of being used with real wood. They are simply not durable enough to handle the ash, cinders, and heat of a real wood fire.

What type of fireplace could be used on a screened-in porch?
By Tyler M. - Fireplace Specialist on December 11, 2012
Answer:
You would need a full stainless steel firebox for use in a screened porch, as the moisture in the outside air will eventually rust and corrode a standard metal firebox. Please see our full selection of stainless steel outdoor options, including woodburning and vent-free gas models:
