All Fired Up

Napoleon’s Elevation X electric fireplace has an LCD screen that displays ultrahigh-quality video of glowing logs and flickering flames to give the look of a wood or gas fireplace. Plus, it delivers cosy heat and crackling sounds — all without emissions, venting or a gas line.

Saved by the Bell
