Comfort Flame Product Features
With each Comfort Flame fireplace there is a myriad of standard and optional features that we offer. To enhance your purchase experience we have created a list of our most common features along with a corresponding feature description. Please take a moment to peruse the various features and note the ones that are most appealing to you. Based on your preferences, we can help you select and customize the perfect Comfort Flame fireplace place just for you. Welcome home to warmth!
Flame Presentation
There’s nothing like gazing at the alluring flames of a campfire as they ascend from the glowing wood pile, piercing the darkness with radiant hues of yellows and red.
With every Comfort Flame fireplace and burner, there is a deliberate attempt to recreate that natural, campfire appearance. Each fireplace and burner is uniquely designed to combine precise amounts of fire, combustion, and air in the pursuit to create a perfect, natural-looking flame presentation.
Fireplace Liner
One of the easiest and most economical ways to change the appearance of your fireplace is to replace the fireplace liner – pre-configured panels that “line” the perimeter of the fireplace interior. These liners are usually installed (or removed) by sliding the liner panels along perimeter grooves of the fireplace, or simply snapping them into place.
Comfort Flame offers an array of fireplace lines in various patterns, materials, weights, and colors. Be sure to choose the fireplace liner that best suits your taste. Whether you prefer a light-weight representation of traditional, red stacked brick for your fireplace interior, or if you prefer a contemporary look with a smooth, porcelain fireplace interior, just remember Comfort Flame has the right selection for you.
Highly Detailed Logs
Wood logs that have been cut from trees are an integral component of an authentic fireplace. Nature’s logs are robust with character – from their unique bark and wood patterns, to each log’s unique weight and dimensions, to the unique cut lines created from each swing of the ax.
Comfort Flame’s Highly Detailed Logs provide a replica of natural, real logs. Made with synthetic material, Highly Detailed Logs possess the intricate details, colors and texture of real wood logs. They also possess the weight and density similar to that of actual logs. At first glance Highly Detailed Logs appear to be real logs.

Ceramic Glass
All glass is not created equal. Fireplace glass serves many purposes ranging from a transparent barrier between the fireplace flames and your living space, to an aesthetic element that gives your fireplace visual appeal.
The ceramic glass used in Comfort Flame fireplaces is a high quality, durable grade of glass that has both beauty and brawn. Unlike lesser grades of glass, ceramic glass can withstand extremely high temperatures without the risk of shattering. It is typical for ceramic glass to be used on fireplaces that produce more than 30,000 BTUs of heat. In addition to withstanding extremely high temperatures ceramic glass minimizes the amount of glare and reflections that accompany lesser grades of glass. This feature proves to enhance the beauty and clarity of the fireplace flames.
Tempered Glass
Fireplace glass serves many purposes ranging from a transparent barrier between the fireplace flames and your living space, to an aesthetic element that gives your fireplace visual appeal.
Tempered glass is the base level grade of glass used by Comfort Flame on some of its models. It is ideal for modest, small to medium fireplaces that produce less than 30,000 BTUs of heat.
Barrier Compliant
In 2014, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), which governs the standards for the fireplace and hearth industry, required all fire-burning fireplaces sold in the U.S. to have a barrier (screen) securely positioned on all viewing surface areas of the fireplace. This icon indicates that the corresponding Comfort Flame fireplace complies with that ANSI barrier standard.
Blower
The heat emitted from a Comfort Flame fireplace follows the natural law of physics by flowing upward, i.e. heat rises. A blower is a fan-like component concealed in the body of the Comfort Flame fireplace that re-directs the heat outward instead of allowing it to follow its natural upward course. This feature allows you to enjoy more of the warmth generated by the fireplace, creating a cozy living space. Comfort Flame offers multiple blowers with various performance capabilities. Be sure to choose the one that is most compatible with our Comfort Flame fireplace and living space.
Remote Control
Comfort Flame has a number of hand held devices that can remotely control different features on your fireplace. Some of the most common fireplace features that can be controlled by a Comfort Flame remote include: fireplace power on/off, blower power on/off and high/low, flame height, and interior lighting.
If a remote control does not come standard with your fireplace, or if you would like to upgrade your remote control, make sure you select one that has control buttons that correspond to the features equipped on your fireplace model.
Battery Backup
Have you ever been caught in a sudden electrical power outage and found yourself stumbling to find a source of light? Comfort Flame fireplaces and burners outfitted with the batter backup feature can resume full operation amidst an electrical power outage. These particular Comfort Flame fireplaces and burners are equipped with a battery pack (typically AA batteries) that provides continued energy when the initial source of electricity has been interrupted.
Interior Lighting
Just as a spotlight draws your eyes to a particular place on the stage, interior lighting invites you to focus on certain areas within the fireplace that otherwise may have remained concealed.
Comfort Flame’s interior lighting is strategically positioned in select fireplace models to illuminate the detailed craftsmanship that goes into our fireplace logs, liners, and other media. Interior lighting also adds an elegant accent to the fireplace when it is not in use, thus allowing it to maintain relevance as a room’s focal point during the summer months.
IPI/CPI Switch
Gas fireplaces are ignited by a pilot that serves as a confluence for gas, air, and a simple spark of fire. The IPI/CPI switch allows you to determine whether or not the pilot is on or off.
When set to IPI, the Intermittent Pilot Ignition requires you to complete a simple pilot-lighting process before turning on the fireplace. When the fireplace is turned off, the pilot is also turned off. If you would like to turn your fireplace on again, you must repeat the pilot-lighting process. The time needed to ignite the pilot and for the fireplace to reach proper heating levels is contingent on how long the fireplace has been turned off. IPI is typically desired by owners whose fireplaces are installed in warm climates with fewer months of cold weather.
When set to CPI, the Continuous Pilot Ignition keeps the fireplace pilot ignited. CPI allows you to bypass the pilot-lighting process to turn on the fireplace, resulting in an immediate fireplace flame. The continuous burning of the pilot also keeps the fireplace warm when not in use, thus reducing the amount of time to warm up the fireplace when it is turned on. CPI is typically desired by owners whose fireplaces are installed in colder climates with extended months of cold weather. Keep in mind, since this setting continues to consume gas to keep the pilot lit even when the fireplace is not in use, the fireplace is in a constant state of incurring utility costs.
