Napoleon Ascent 36 Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

The Napoleon Ascent 36 gives you a real gas fire with a traditional oak log set, without making the project complicated. The log set and the safety barrier both come in the box, and it runs on natural gas with a pan style burner. It's a straightforward fireplace that's easy to finish with the brick panels, fronts, and trims you like.

This listing offers two ways to light it. The B36NTR-1 uses millivolt ignition, and the B36NTRE-1 uses electronic pilot-on-demand ignition with Napoleon's Battery Back-Up Control System. Venting can leave from the top or the rear, which gives some freedom on where it goes. The fireplace is made in Ontario, Canada.

What Makes the Ascent 36 Different

• Oak logs included. The oak log set comes with the fireplace, so you have a complete fire without shopping for logs first.
• Your choice of ignition. Pick millivolt ignition or electronic pilot-on-demand ignition with a battery back-up control system.
• Top or rear venting. Being able to vent out the top or the back gives more options when you're planning the wall.
• Room to customize. Add a blower, a remote, or decorative brick panels if you want more control or a different look.

This listing is the Napoleon Ascent 36 for natural gas, model B36NTR-1 with millivolt ignition or B36NTRE-1 with electronic ignition. The oak log set and safety barrier are included.
