Napoleon Ascent Linear Premium BLX56 Gas Fireplace

A five-foot fire with heat sized for the rooms you actually live in. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: 700–1,400 sq ft • Viewing Area: 49″ • Fuel: Natural gas or propane. • Controls: Full-function remote with thermostat and light control; app control optional. • Fan: Included Who It’s For A five-foot fire usually comes with a catch: the heat of a unit built for a great room, in a room that isn’t one, so you run it for the look and manage the temperature around it. You need a linear fire sized for the heat your room can actually use. If you want a wide, modern flame in the living room or den you spend your evenings in, the Napoleon Ascent Linear Premium 56 is built for exactly that— a long fire you can leave on , not one you run in short bursts for looks. What Makes It Special This fire is lit from above as well as below. Built-in top lights illuminate the flames and the media bed , so the driftwood or glass reads rich and dimensional instead of disappearing into a dark firebox. The included remote runs everything—on and off, thermostat, flame height, blower speed, and the lights—and the eFire app puts the same controls on your phone. It also doesn’t quit when the grid does. With the battery backup control, the fireplace still lights and still makes heat with the power out —as long as you’ve kept four AA batteries in it. The blower goes quiet, but the fire keeps working. And if you’re picturing a TV above it, the optional Universal Heat Management system moves heat away from the wall, lowering clearances so electronics can hang safely above the fireplace . Possible Downsides • The battery backup takes four AA batteries that aren’t included —keep them fresh if outage lighting matters to you. • Reduced clearances above the fireplace require the optional Universal Heat Management system ; without it, standard mantel clearances apply. • Burn media is a separate required choice —logs or glass are selected and added, not in the box. If you want a wide, modern fire that warms a normal-sized room instead of overpowering it, the Ascent Linear Premium 56 is the right decision. The room it’s in becomes the room the house lives in. The look is yours to set: driftwood, birch, split oak, or beach fire logs, glass beads in five colors or glass embers in six, optional mineral rock, shore fire, and woodland enhancement kits, Ledgestone or MIRRO-FLAME reflective porcelain panels, and a four-sided black finishing trim.
