1/4” Clear Fire Glass
1/4” Clear Fire Glass adds brilliant light reflection to fire pits and gas fireplaces. A modern upgrade offering heat resistance, style, and sparkle without soot or ash.
The Chillbuster CoalFire™ – Americana evokes the refined simplicity of early American coal-burning fireplaces, reimagined with today’s efficient, vent-free gas technology. Designed for shallow fireboxes and vintage hearths, this model features a handcrafted coal basket presentation with realistic ember glow and a low, steady flame—offering the ambiance of a traditional coal fire without the need for a chimney or flue.
It’s the perfect solution for period restorations, compact fireplaces, and rooms that need an elegant, compact heating source with a historic aesthetic.
The Americana model features a glowing ceramic coal bed and a precision-tuned burner that produces authentically low flames, mimicking the appearance of a small coal fire. It’s built to provide both visual warmth and practical radiant heat, ideal for small rooms, bedrooms, or cozy sitting areas.
Whether placed in a colonial fireplace or a more modern built-in, the Americana adds a warm, subtle fire presence that feels grounded in tradition.
The CoalFire™ Americana is particularly well-suited for historic homes, brownstones, and early American architecture. Its simple, open coal basket layout and low flame profile maintain the visual integrity of vintage hearths while bringing them up to code with safe, clean gas operation.
It’s a heritage-appropriate fireplace solution that requires no venting infrastructure, perfect for preservation-sensitive remodels or decorative installs.
Like other models in the Chillbuster line, the Americana features vent-free gas operation, allowing for efficient room heating and flexible placement. It includes built-in safety features like an oxygen depletion sensor (ODS) and is available in manual or remote-controlled configurations.
Its performance is backed by modern safety standards, making it an easy addition to older homes or compact spaces where traditional venting isn't an option.
The Chillbuster CoalFire™ – Americana captures the essence of a simpler time—when coal fires were the heart of American homes—while offering the ease, efficiency, and reliability of a vent-free gas system. It’s a timeless piece for those who appreciate design rooted in history, and who want to bring meaningful warmth back to their hearth.
Whether part of a restoration or an inspired design feature in a newer home, the Americana delivers vintage authenticity with no mess, no venting, and no compromise.
