Renaissance Linear 50 Wood-Burning Fireplace

The Renaissance Linear 50 puts a wood fire in a long, low 50 inch opening. The guillotine glass door and firescreen are built in and lift into the fireplace when they're not in use, so the opening stays clean.

The refractory brick lining is included. Renaissance's Heat Recovery System is included and required too. It works on natural draft, with no blower or electricity, and sends heat through ducts. It takes logs up to 24 inches and uses a 10 inch ICC RIS chimney. The Linear 50 needs a 9 foot ceiling, or 8 feet with the optional square grills.

What Makes the Linear 50 Different

• A true linear wood fire. The 50 inch wide opening gives you 710 square inches of visible fire in a long, modern shape.
• Heat recovery with no power. The included Heat Recovery System relies on hot air rising to move heat through ducts.
• Lining and door included. Refractory brick lining, the guillotine door, and the firescreen are all part of the fireplace.
• Grill options. Long linear grills are available for 9 foot ceilings.

This listing is the Renaissance Linear 50 wood-burning fireplace (SKU RSF RL50). Refractory brick lining and the Heat Recovery System, with grills for 9 ft ceiling installs, are included. Uses a 10 in ICC RIS chimney.

Ownership & Maintenance

Stick to the maximum log length and fuel load, since Renaissance notes the Linear 50 can be overfired if they're exceeded. Gas log lighters aren't permitted. We provide support after the sale.
