So Sad :(

Would Never Buy Again

This came installed in a brand new modular home we purchased. The flame is pathetically low. Seems to be an issue if you look through the reviews. We've had 2 different "jack-of-all-trades" guys come take a look and when they couldn't figure it out... we had 2 different fireplace installation companies come take a look at everything from gas pressure, to venting, to making sure then unit was installed properly, etc... in the end... it's just a junk unit with low BTUs. The really crappy part is that we cannot pull it out and insert a new unit without dismantling our stone facade surround. We now have a brand new house with the central focus of our fireplace... and we never use it.

Hi! Lynn, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear about the frustration you’ve had with your Ascent™ 30 fireplace. This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers, especially in a brand-new home. The flame height can sometimes be affected by installation factors or settings; however, since you’ve already had multiple professionals review the setup, we’d like to offer further assistance. Please contact our customer care team so we can initiate a warranty claim and thoroughly review your unit. You can start the process online at [hearth@napoleon.com] using your product ID (B30NTRE-1). We appreciate your feedback and will share it with our product team. Our goal is to ensure you can enjoy your fireplace as intended.Thanks

Budget Friendly, Beauty!

My Ascent 30, turned out to be the perfect size in my kitchen. It almost has the look of a "Portrait" fireplace. But with 22,000 btus it really warms up my kitchen nook. It came with the standard Oak Logs, and I couldn't be more pleased, but I did notice that it also has multiple media options, so I might look into changing that if I want a new look. But it is nice having those options. It came standard set up for a wall switch and that is one of my favorite features. I fell in love with one of the Fancy trim front pieces. Again, I couldn't be happier with my choice, and it was so budget friendly.

I absolutely love the look and versatility of this fireplace. The fact it works during a power outage is the cherry on top.

Great choice for a smaller space

I have this unit in my office. This was a good choice because my office is not the biggest so I didn't want a ton of heat, I wanted it more for the mood and Ambiance. It was also more affordable compared to others

Great Addition

A fantastic addition to our newly remodeled master suite! The realistic oak log set, the glowing ember bed, and the radiant flame provide the cozy atmosphere that were looking for. Napoleon hit it out of the park with this one.

Great Compact Value!

The Ascent 30 is the perfect fit for tight spaces. With 14.5" depth and 30.5" width it tucks into a corner with a minimal footprint. This is also ideal for smaller bedrooms and offices to add a nice fire feature and additional warmth.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.

$49 Flat-Rate Shipping

Anything under $49 ships at one low price. If your order increases, your shipping stays the same!

30-Day Returns

Return all new, unused, and unassembled items in their original packaging, and we'll give you a full refund minus the cost of the original AND return shipping.

No Restocking Fee

Most companies charge a restocking fee. We just don't do business that way.
