Chaska 25

Real gas heat for a smaller fireplace, with the logs, fan, and remote included. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: 650–1,300 sq ft • Efficiency: 71% (EnerGuide) • Viewing Area: 21 7/8″ wide. • Fuel: Natural gas or propane; propane needs an add-on valve motor. • Controls: Full-function remote included; battery backup lets it light during a power outage. • Fan: Included Who It’s For Small fireplaces are often the hardest to put to work: most inserts are built for a bigger opening, and a gas log set sends most of its heat up the chimney. You need an insert made for a small firebox that still heats the room. If you have a compact fireplace in a den, a bedroom, or an older home, the Kozy Heat Chaska 25 is the insert built for it. Choose it and the drafty little fireplace becomes a real heat source . What Makes It Special The Chaska 25 is the smallest insert in the Kozy Heat lineup , and it still comes complete: the log set, the fan, and the remote are included, so the only decisions left are the front and the shroud. It has battery backup , so it still lights when the power goes out, as long as you keep batteries in it. On a normal night, press the remote and the fan moves warm air into a living room or family room. It is approved for bedroom installs, which makes it a natural fit for a fireplace in a primary suite. Possible Downsides • The front and shroud are separate purchases , and both are needed to finish the install. • One log style. No birch log set is listed for it; for birch logs, look at the Nordik 29. If you have a small fireplace that has never kept the room warm, the Chaska 25 is the right decision. The little fireplace in the den becomes the warmest seat in the house. Choose a black rectangular, black prairie, or vintage bronze arched mission front; a black shroud in three sizes or a blank shroud; and optional black brick, Canyon Creek, traditional brick, or black glass firebox panels.
