Majestic Wood Burning Fireplaces
Majestic's wood burning range consists of factory-built radiant fireplaces, engineered as complete listed systems with their matching chimney components. Unlike a masonry fireplace, which is constructed on site by a mason, a factory-built fireplace arrives as a tested assembly and installs into framing with a Class A chimney system run to the roof, which makes real wood burning achievable in new construction without masonry work.
The Ashland series is available in 36, 42, and 50-inch widths and the Royalton series in 36 inches, both as radiant designs that push heat out into the room from the firebox. These are genuine wood-burning appliances, so they need a full chimney system, correct clearances to combustibles, and professional installation, and they carry the ongoing responsibilities of a wood fire: fuel storage, ash removal, and annual chimney inspection and sweeping.
Why Buy a Majestic Wood Burning Fireplace
- A real wood fire, with the heat, sound, and character that no gas or electric appliance reproduces.
- Factory-built and listed as a complete system, so no masonry construction is required.
- Ashland available in 36, 42, and 50-inch widths, with the Royalton series at 36 inches.
- Radiant design directs heat into the room rather than losing it into surrounding masonry.
- Operates entirely without electricity, which matters during outages.
What to Consider When Buying
- Budget for the complete chimney system, not just the fireplace.
- Class A chimney pipe, supports, flashing, and termination add substantially to the total.
- Plan the chimney route early. It must run to the roof within the system's allowable configuration, and the framing has to accommodate it.
- Confirm clearance to combustibles requirements before framing, since these are stricter than for gas or electric appliances.
- Factor in the ongoing commitments: firewood storage, ash removal, and annual chimney inspection and sweeping.
- Use only the manufacturer's matched chimney components.
- Mixing brands voids the listing and can affect insurance coverage.
