A fire nearly six feet wide, with heat sized for the room you actually live in. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: 800–1,600 sq ft • Viewing Area: 69″ wide • Fuel: Natural gas, with a propane conversion kit available. • Controls: Remote, app control, and wall thermostat are all optional; battery back-up lights it when the power is out. • Fan: Optional Who It’s For Most linear fireplaces this wide come with the heat of a small furnace behind the glass, so the evenings you most want the fire burning are the evenings the room gets too warm to enjoy it. You need a fire that fills the wall without overwhelming the room . If the six-foot flame is the point—a fire you leave on all evening while the furnace handles the heavy lifting—the Napoleon Ascent Linear 76 was built for you. Choose a high-output linear instead and you’ll spend winter turning the fire off just when you’d rather be watching it. What Makes It Special The fire itself runs 69 inches across, burning over an included bed of topaz crushed glass. That’s a fire big enough to carry an entire wall , and the moderate heat behind it— approx. 750 to 1,500 square feet—means it warms the room instead of emptying the couch. This is the one Ascent Linear size that takes Napoleon’s Ducted Heat Management system, which routes the fire’s heat through ducts instead of pouring it out the front. The payoff is true zero clearance to combustible materials —no fear of heat damage to what hangs above—and the option to install it as a room divider between two spaces. And when the power goes out, the fire still lights . Battery back-up keeps the ignition working through an outage—batteries aren’t included, and your own power bank will do the job. Possible Downsides • The fan is optional, not included. If you want warm air pushed across the room, the blower is an add-on. • Log sets and media kits are sold separately. The topaz crushed glass ember bed is the only media in the box. • This is the moderate-heat linear. For a six-foot fire that works harder as a heater, look at the Ascent Linear Premium or the Vector. If you want the fire to span the wall without taking over the room, the Ascent Linear 76 is the right decision. The wall it lives on becomes the reason everyone ends up in that room. The look is yours to build: split oak, birch, driftwood, or beach fire log kits, mineral rock, shore fire, and woodland media, glass beads and embers in amber, black, blue, clear, red, and topaz, ledgestone or reflective black porcelain interior panels, and a four-sided black finishing trim.

Napoleon: Altitude X AX36

Napoleon · Gas Fireplace

Altitude X AX36

The whole face is glass, the whole view is fire. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: 888–1,775 sq ft • Fuel: Natural gas or propane. • Controls: Remote and eFIRE mobile app included; wall control optional. • Fan: Included Who It’s For Most gas fireplaces put a metal frame and grille work between you and the flame, so from across the room you see an appliance first and a fire second. You need a fireplace where the fire is the whole view . If you’re building or remodeling a wall and want the fire to be the first thing people notice when they walk in, this is the one to look at—it builds into a framed wall, so plan on tile or stone finish work as part of the job. A standard louvered box will keep you warm just fine, but you’ll always know it’s a gas fireplace; the Altitude X is built so you forget. What Makes It Special The Altitude X has a clean face, which means your tile or stone runs right to the glass —no louvers, no frame, nothing interrupting the fire. Top lights inside the firebox shine down on the logs, so the hearth glows even before you turn the flame on, and the glass is ceramic, made to sit inches from a real fire for years. You run it from the couch or from your phone. The included remote and eFIRE app handle power, flame height, top lights, and fan speed, and a thermostat setting holds the room where you want it—set 70 and let it cycle. Here’s the part people ask about: it still lights when the power goes out , as long as you’ve kept batteries in the backup. It’s also one of the few fireplaces designed from the start for the wall above it. The optional Dynamic Heat Control system lowers the wall temperature with no fan running, so a TV or artwork can hang above the fire at the lowest clearances Napoleon offers, and ducted options can move the heat to another room—or outdoors—instead of stacking it on one wall. Possible Downsides • Battery backup isn’t self-contained —lighting the fire in an outage takes four AA batteries or a power bank, and neither is included. • Heat management is optional, not built in ; hanging a TV above at the reduced clearances means adding the Dynamic Heat Control system. • Media options are log sets only —driftwood, oak, or birch; there is no glass or stone media bed. If you want the fire itself—not the appliance around it—to be what people see, the Altitude X is the right decision. The room it’s in becomes the room the house lives in. The look is adjustable: driftwood, oak, or birch log sets; decorative panels in black illusion glass, MIRRO-FLAME reflective porcelain, or Newport and Westminster brick; finishing trims in black or charcoal; and Zen or Whitney decorative fronts.

Napoleon: Altitude X AX42

Napoleon · Gas Fireplace

Altitude X AX42

The fire fills the frame—no grille, no louvers, nothing between you and the flame. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: 950–1,900 sq ft • Fuel: Natural gas or propane. • Controls: Remote and eFIRE mobile app, both included. • Fan: Included Who It’s For Plenty of gas fireplaces put a good flame behind a busy metal face, so what you notice from the couch is the frame, not the fire. You need a fireplace where the fire is the whole view . If you’re building or remodeling and want the fire to be the focal point of the room—with the freedom to hang a TV above it—this is who the Altitude X was made for. Pick a standard louvered unit instead and you’ll get the warmth, but the fire will always look like an appliance. What Makes It Special The Altitude X is a clean-face design: ceramic glass runs to the edges with the entire firebox in view , and built-in top lights keep the logs softly lit, so the fireplace looks finished even when there’s no fire in it. Every function runs from the included remote or the eFIRE app on your phone—on and off, flame height, fan speed, the lights. And if the power goes out, the fireplace still lights on battery backup —keep four AA batteries in it and an outage doesn’t take the fire with it. Where the heat goes is up to you. The optional Dynamic Heat Control system lowers wall temperatures without a fan, so a TV can hang directly above the fireplace at Napoleon’s lowest clearances, and ducted options can carry the warmth to another room or even outdoors. Possible Downsides • The log set and interior panels are required selections sold separately from the base unit, so plan for both when you compare. • Heat management is optional, not built in —reduced clearances for a TV above need the Dynamic Heat Control add-on. • Battery backup needs its own batteries —four AAs or a power bank, not included. If you want the fire itself—not the frame around it—to be the thing people notice when they walk in, the Altitude X is the right decision. The room it’s in becomes the room the house lives in. The look is yours to set: birch, driftwood, or oak log sets; interior panels from black illusion glass and reflective porcelain to Westminster and Newport brick; black or charcoal finishing trims; and Zen or Whitney decorative fronts.

Napoleon: Ascent B30

Napoleon · Gas Fireplace

Ascent B30

A real gas fire, sized for the rooms most fireplaces overwhelm. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: 375–750 sq ft • Viewing Area: 23 11/16″ wide • Fuel: Natural gas; converts to propane with an optional kit. • Controls: Optional remote, available with on/off or thermostat control. • Fan: Optional Who It’s For Most gas fireplaces are built to heat a great room, and an oversized fireplace will cook you out of a small one—you end up running it on low and the room still gets stuffy. You need a fire sized to the room, not to the showroom . If the room you want warm is a den, a bedroom, or a condo living room, and you want it to feel like a fire instead of a furnace, the Napoleon Ascent B30 is the one to look at. Pick a bigger unit instead and you’ll spend the winter turning it down; pick this one and the room settles in at comfortable and stays there . What Makes It Special The B30 is the smallest fireplace in Napoleon’s Ascent line, with a compact body and slim depth that fits into walls where deeper units won’t go. The hand-painted split oak log set comes standard, so the fire looks like a real wood fire from day one—no upgrade required. Here’s the part that matters in January: the ignition has battery back-up , so the fireplace still lights when the power goes out—keep batteries in it, or connect your own power bank, and an outage doesn’t take your fire with it. And because it’s a sealed direct-vent unit, the exhaust never touches your room air; the fire burns outside air, and your indoor air stays clean. Possible Downsides • The circulating fan is optional , not included. • The remote and thermostat control are add-ons , not standard equipment. • Batteries for the back-up ignition are not included ; keep your own batteries or a power bank on hand for it to work in an outage. If you want a real gas fire in a room where most fireplaces would be too much, the Ascent B30 is the right decision. The room you used to walk past becomes the one everyone ends up in. The B30 takes the Heritage or Zen decorative front, black finishing trims, Mirro-Flame reflective porcelain panels, and beach fire, mineral rock, shore fire, or woodland media kits, so it can match the room you already have.
