The Divine H38PF Traditional Pier from Montigo
A fireplace flat on a wall gives you one face of the fire. This one steps out into the room and gives you three. The Divine H38PF is a 38" three-sided pier gas fireplace with a traditional logset: 34,000 BTU/hr on natural gas (32,000 on propane), a framed opening of 23 3/4" W x 44" H x 41" D that projects into the room, $6,709, covered by Montigo's residential fireplace warranty. Direct vent, SIT Proflame 2 electronic ignition only.
Choose it if you want to break up an open floor plan without building a wall. A peninsula puts flame on three sides, so the fire divides the space and both halves still get it - styled traditional here, with a ceramic logset over a classic burner. You need to dedicate 41" of floor projection to the pier.
It is not right if you want a standing pilot (none exists - every pier, bay, and corner Divine is electronic ignition), if you cannot give up 41" of floor projection into the room, if your framing cannot meet the 4" header clearance, or if it would sit in an open, uncovered outdoor space.
Specifications
The framed opening is 23 3/4" wide x 44" high x 41" deep - note the axes: the pier projects into the room, so the deep dimension is the projection. Clearances: 11" above with a rear vent or 17 1/2" with a top vent, 4" header, 0" sides, 0" front, 2" rear. The supplied standoffs are required and maintain 8". Combustible surrounds need 3" of side clearance. Gas supply: natural gas at 5.5" w.c. minimum inlet or propane at 11" w.c. Electrical: 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 6 A with a 3.15 A fuse, plus a 4x AA battery backup.
How the H38PF compares to other Divine configurations
Same price, different footprint: the bay H38PR ($6,709) mounts in the wall like a standard fireplace with a 24 1/2"-deep framed opening, and the corner H38C ($6,709) tucks into a left or right corner. Prefer a modern linear flame in the same pier chassis? The HL38PF swaps the logset for a linear burner with firestones at $6,709. Only need glass on two sides? The see-through H38FSD starts at $4,759 with standing-pilot or electronic ignition.
Answers to common questions
What mantel and surround clearances does it need?
Any combustible mantel must stay within the mantel-projection zone, and combustible surrounds need at least 3" of side clearance. Run anything you plan to mount on the wall above past your installer first.
What venting does it use, and is the vent pipe included?
It is a direct-vent fireplace: 5" inner / 8" outer co-axial pipe, convertible to a top or rear vent run, terminating through the roof or an exterior wall. The termination must be the highest point of the vent run, and Montigo flex sections may not be cut. Vent pipe and termination are sold separately. Besides Montigo's own venting, approved alternates include DuraVent, ICC, MetalFab, Selkirk, and Flexmaster - The Torch Guys stocks DuraVent. If you need a power vent, that option requires Montigo pipe.
Is there a standing pilot version?
No. Every Divine pier, bay, and corner model uses SIT Proflame 2 electronic ignition - the SKUs all end in -NI-2 or -LI-2, and no standing-pilot variant exists.
Will it work in a power outage?
Yes. The SIT Proflame 2 electronic ignition runs on 120 V but includes a 4x AA battery backup (part AF40BP), so you can still light the fireplace during a power outage.
Can it go in a covered outdoor room?
Yes, with conditions. It is approved for a protected outdoor room: the overhang must cover at least 75% of the fireplace's height on the front and the sides, the supplied safety screen must stay installed, wiring must be outdoor-rated, and you cannot operate it below freezing (32°F).
What’s included, what’s required, and what’s optional?

Included in the box: the safety screen barrier (it must be installed), the required 8" standoffs.
