Napoleon Ascent 42 Direct Vent Gas Fireplace, Natural Gas

If you want a wide, traditional gas fire on natural gas, the Napoleon Ascent 42 is a good place to start. The viewing area is 37.69 inches wide, and an oak log set sits over a glowing ember bed, so the fire has a full, finished look from day one. The safety barrier is standard, too.

This B42NTRE model uses electronic pilot-on-demand ignition with battery back-up. It vents top or rear through a 4 inch exhaust and 7 inch intake, which gives some flexibility in planning. If you want a remote, it's an option. Built in Ontario, Canada, the Ascent 42 keeps things simple while leaving room to change the look with panels and trim.

What Makes the Ascent 42 Different

• A wide fire. At 37.69 inches wide, the viewing area gives the flames room to spread across the logs.
• Complete out of the box. The oak log set and safety barrier are included, so the fireplace is ready for a finished look.
• Glowing ember bed. The ember bed under the logs glows along with the flames, which makes the fire look more natural.
• Pilot on demand. Electronic ignition with battery back-up lights the pilot when it's needed.
