Ignite XL 60

Nearly five feet of flame, in rooms—and covered patios—a chimney could never reach. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: 0–500 sq ft approx. 400–500 sq ft—comfort heat for the room it’s in • Viewing Area: 58¾ inches wide—nearly five feet of fire. • Fuel: Electric. • Controls: Remote or hidden touch controls, with a thermostat and a timer you can set for up to 8 hours. • Fan: Included Who It’s For There’s a spot where a fire belongs—the long wall in the living room, the sheltered patio where evenings wind down—but running gas or a chimney to it was never realistic, so it stays the space you pass through instead of the one you settle into. You need a fire that goes wherever the wiring goes . If you want a linear flame as the focal point of the room, with heat when you want it and flame alone when you don’t, the Dimplex Ignite XL 60 is the one; a decorative-only unit gives you the look, but this one warms the room too. What Makes It Special This is a fireplace certified for outdoor use . Installed under a sheltering overhang, the same fire that anchors the living room can anchor the covered patio, so the fire goes where the evening goes instead of staying behind glass doors indoors. The flame is Dimplex’s Multi-Fire effect: a multi-layered fire with seven color presets , an ember bed of acrylic crystals, and a light sensor that adjusts the firebox to the room on its own. Run flame and heat in January or flame alone in July, and the patented Comfort$aver system trims its own energy use while holding the room steady— this fire is for every month, not just the cold ones . Possible Downsides • It warms one room, not the house —electric comfort heat for roughly 400–500 square feet, not a furnace. • Outdoor installs need a sheltering overhang and carry a 1-year warranty instead of the 5-year indoor coverage. • Acrylic crystals are the only included media ; driftwood log sets, river rocks, and tumbled glass are optional add-ons. If you want a wall of fire in a space a chimney could never reach, the Ignite XL 60 is the right decision. The wall you used to walk past becomes the place everyone ends up. Finishing choices include Storm box surrounds in white or black, Storm panel surrounds in oak or walnut, a matching trim kit, driftwood and thin split-log faux wood sets, and ember beds from tumbled glass to river rocks and black rocks, so the fire can match the room—or the patio—it lives in.
