Majestic 36" Ashland Wood Burning Fireplace
A 36-inch wide, 38-inch tall opening with no glass in front of it. The Majestic Ashland 36 (ASH36-B) is a UL 127 listed factory-built wood burning fireplace that frames 47-7/8" wide by 74-1/2" high by 28-1/2" deep and vents through an 11" inner / 13" outer SL1100 Series chimney. It ships with its firescreen, grate and two outside air inlet hoods. Choose the interior above: Traditional or Herringbone molded brick panels in four colors. from $3,469 for the fireplace alone.
Choose the Ashland 36 if you want the look of a masonry fireplace in a factory-built unit. The brick pattern comes as molded panels that go in without mortar, or you can have firebrick laid by hand for a true masonry interior. It burns real wood, and a certified vented gas log set can go in if you would rather have gas.
It is not right for you if you want a fire behind glass. The Ashland 36 is an open hearth: a 36-inch by 38-inch opening with a firescreen and no glass, so nothing else sits between you and the fire.

Answers to common questions
What chimney does the Ashland 36 need, and is any of it included?
It uses a SL1100 Series chimney, 11 inches inside and 13 outside, with an approved termination cap (see pg 40 in the installation manual). The attic insulation shield ships with the fireplace; the chimney sections, firestops, flashing and cap are sold separately. Plan on at least 18 feet of straight height from the base of the fireplace, 18.5 feet with one offset and return, 22.5 feet with two, and no more than 90 feet, with 2 inches of air space around the chimney. 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.
What’s included, what’s required, and what’s optional?
-
Included in the box: Firescreen; Fireplace grate; Two outside air inlet hoods; Attic insulation shield; Two protective metal hearth strips; Gas line knockouts on both sides; UL 127 listing; Limited warranty, 10 years parts and 3 years labor on the firebox.
-
Required to complete the installation, purchased separately: Interior Panel - a molded brick panel set that lines the firebox; it ships in a separate box, and firebrick laid in mortar is the alternative; Venting - an 11" SL1100 Series chimney and an approved termination cap (see pg 40 in the installation manual); Outside Air Duct - 6" flex duct to connect the included inlet hoods on both sides of the fireplace; it is what supplies combustion air and keeps the fireplace from overheating; Floor Protection - non-combustible flooring at least 20" deep and 60" wide in front of the fireplace, insulated to R 2.06; Facing - non-combustible finish material around the opening.
-
Optional: Glass bi-fold doors, a chimney air kit, refractory mortar for the look of mortared joints, and a gas log set: the fireplace burns wood without any of them.
Does it need outside air?
Yes, on both sides. Outside air supplies combustion air and keeps the fireplace from overheating. The two inlet hoods ship with the fireplace, and you add 6-inch flex duct to connect them, up to 40 feet long; our ID6 and UD6 duct each include two 42-inch sections. The inlets sit at least 3 feet below the top of the chimney and never draw from an attic, a garage or a wall cavity. Plan it with the framing, because adding it later means significant reconstruction.
What goes on the floor in front of it?
Non-combustible flooring at least 20 inches deep and 60 inches wide, which is 12 inches past each side of the opening. It must be insulated to at least R 2.06 and covered with tile, stone or another non-combustible material. Two protective metal hearth strips ship with the fireplace and go under its front edge.
How close can a mantel or a side wall be?
A combustible mantel up to 12 inches deep sits at least 22 inches above the opening, and a side wall stays 24 inches from the door opening. Mantel specifications are drawn in Figures 7.12 and 7.13 on page 33 of the installation manual, and mantel legs, surrounds and wall projections in Figure 7.14 on page 34. You can also send us your mantel depth. We're here to help!
Can I burn gas logs in it instead of wood?
Yes. A certified decorative vented gas log set up to 100,000 BTU/hr can go in, with the damper locked fully open, a gas shutoff, and the gas line through a knockout on either side. Majestic lists 18-inch 3-Tier Stadium gas log sets with this size. An unvented log set must meet the unvented room heater standard and carry an automatic shutoff, and any glass door stays fully open while it runs. Gas logs are best installed along with the fireplace.
Can it go in a sleeping room, a basement or a manufactured home?
A sleeping room, yes. A basement is not recommended. It is not approved for manufactured housing.
Does buying from The Torch Guys affect my Majestic warranty?
No. The Torch Guys is an authorized Majestic dealer, and the warranty covers fireplaces bought from one. On a wood fireplace the firebox, heat exchanger and castings carry 10 years on parts and 3 on labor, cement refractory panels and glass 2 years, and all other parts 1 year. Installation by qualified personnel is recommended, and we will help you with any claim.
