Majestic Villawood 42" Outdoor Wood Burning Fireplace
A 42-inch wide open wood fire built for the outdoors. The Majestic Villawood 42 is a UL 127 and ULC-S610 listed outdoor wood burning fireplace with a 42" x 20-7/8" viewing area, a brick interior, a grate and a firescreen in the box. It frames 48" wide by 39-3/4" high by 21-1/2" deep and vents through an 8" SL300 Series chimney. Choose a traditional or herringbone interior above, and add bi-fold glass doors if you want them; from $1,839.
Choose the Villawood if you want a real wood fire on a deck, on a patio or in an outdoor kitchen, with the look of masonry and nothing between you and the fire. The brick interior, grate, firescreen and cooling air kit come with it, so the only things to pick are the interior pattern and whether to add doors.
It is not right for you if you want a flame that starts at the flip of a switch. The Villawood is built around the ritual of a real wood fire, laid on a steel grate and open to the outdoors.

Answers to common questions
What chimney does the Villawood 42 need, and is it included?
It uses SL300 Series chimney, 8 inches inside, with a listed termination cap (see pg 44 in the manual), and the chimney and cap are sold separately. Plan on at least 14.5 feet from the base of the fireplace, straight or with one offset and return, 20 feet with two, and no more than 90 feet. Freestanding and at least 10 feet from a combustible structure, it can be as short as 6 feet 4 inches. The bottom of the cap sits at least 3 feet above the roof and 2 feet above any part of the roof within 10 feet. In Canada you also need a CAK4A chimney air kit and a CAS8 attic shield kit. Give us your chimney height and our team will build the package.

-
Optional: Bi-fold glass doors, a drain pan (recommended on wood surfaces), the chimney air kit (required in Canada) and a vented gas log set - the fireplace burns wood without them.
Can it go inside, or on a deck?
Outside only. It has no flue damper, so it cannot be installed indoors. Build it into a chase outside the weather envelope against an exterior wall, or stand it on a porch, a patio or in the yard inside an enclosure that protects it from impact. It sheds moderate water but is not waterproof, so a drain pan is recommended on wood surfaces or wherever water can collect.
What goes on the floor in front of it?
A hearth extension 20 inches deep and 66 inches wide, which is 12 inches past each side of the opening, insulated to at least R 1.03 and finished in tile, stone or another non-combustible material. Its surface sits at least 4 inches below the bottom of the opening unless the fireplace stands on a non-combustible surface. The two metal hearth strips in the box go under the front edge.
How close can a mantel or side wall be?
A combustible mantel up to 12 inches deep goes at least 12 inches above the top of the opening. Combustible trim stays 6 inches from the opening, and anything projecting more than 1-1/2 inches stays 12 inches from its top. Combustible side walls stay at least 12 inches from the opening; mantel legs and wall projections are drawn in Figure 11.11 on page 40 of the manual. Keep combustible objects 48 inches from the front. Send us your plan if you want it checked. We're here to help!
Can I put gas logs in it?
A certified vented gas log set or gas log lighter can go in, up to 100,000 BTU/hr, with its own gas shutoff and the gas line through a knockout on either side. Unvented gas logs must not be installed. Call us and we will match a vented set to your fireplace.
Do I need the glass doors?
No. The Villawood is an open hearth with its firescreen, and the bi-fold glass doors are optional. If you add them, run them fully open or fully closed while the fire is burning.
Does buying from The Torch Guys affect my Majestic warranty?
No. The Outdoor Lifestyles warranty covers products bought through an authorized dealer, and The Torch Guys is one. The body, metal firebox and heat exchanger carry a limited lifetime warranty from installation; gas and electrical parts, glass and refractory breakage, venting, accessories, doors and warranty labor carry one year. We will help you with any claim.
