Heat N Glo 6k & 8k Series
Why we ranked it #1:
- Anti-reflective glass makes the fireplace look like an open hearth you could reach into, especially with brick panels and night lights
- Fully loaded version includes a full-function remote, night lights, and a standard blower, with a very large viewing area on the 42" 8k
- Solid heat, cool wall and heat-dump options, optional Wi-Fi, and your choice of birch or traditional logs or a contemporary burner
It checks every box. You get the open-hearth look at a premium but reasonable price, without the cost of a true open hearth unit.

Mendota FullView Series
Why we ranked it #2:
- The best heating fireplace we sell, made by Johnson Gas Appliance, with thick steel that keeps radiating heat well after shutoff
- Independent twin blowers move more air quietly, and a two-stage burner gives the most temperature control
- The widest range of fronts and finishes, with sizes from 34" to 48" and new fire-in-log models in the square FullView 41 and 46
The best heat and one of the best-looking units available. The only drawback is price, since it’s built to be the best.
