This was such a great video. I’m currently trying to decide between a Mendota and a Montigo. But I have two fireplace stores here in Houston, one is pushing the Montigo (because that’s what they stock) and the other is pushing a Mendota (because that’s what they have in their showroom). Your video cleared up a lot of the differences between the two for me. Kinda wish I was buying from you for doing us this great service !
I notice something you never talk about 1) Price range? 2) How much heat it give off, heat just a room or floor? 3) How ,much it cost per hour it runs? Right now it just a light show.
we dont talk pricing cause pricing changes so much and all the pricing is on our website. in our other videos we do talk about heat output on the single reviews
Thank you for your videos. I wish you had a store in Oregon. I would be buying all 3 of my units from you. I had a question about the Mendota cool wall kit. I'm looking to install the ML72 in an open concept Great Room but I'm not loving the height at which the TV sits if I use a noncombustible mantle to protect the TV instead one of other heat management systems. The reason for the mantle is that my family wants some heat directly from the fireplace but I can't redirect the heat inside the house using the versiheat system as I'm out of walls (the left of fireplace is glass and other side is just open to the hallway running the length of the house). Any thoughts? I LOVE Mendota as I have 2 in my current home but I'm almost contemplating Flare Fireplaces and Regency Cityview Series because of the TV situation which would allow me to mount the TV lower and have some heat directly from my unit.
@@embersliving I called your store and got incredible assistance from Zain! Not only are you wonderful with the details but you train your employees very well. I may possibly buy it from you. Zain is sending me a quote right now. Thank you for the wonderful service! It’s so refreshing to talk to people who have such a depth of understanding about their products. A moment of appreciation!
How do these of all stack up when talking a 60" - 72" unit with a 85" tv mounted above it? We're building new construction and considering a linear 72" Enviro for the price, with a cool touch to redirect the heat output. Any input or suggestions would help!! Thanks

Thank you Embers for making these videos. I went to one dealer yesterday, and he trashed Napolean even though he is the only dealer of it in my area. Perhaps a personal vendata. Ha! He suggested Fireplace Xtrordinair for the price point, ease of installation and no complaints. What's your opinion on it. Wish I could visit your store and buy it from you.
We stand by Napoleon. They have great products and have been around for a long time. Their linear vector fireplace is one of our most popular. I have never heard of Xtrordinair, so im not sure about that brand.
What about serviceability. That should be shown for each model. Module access etc. I just visited a clients house. Module died and they have to remove the finished drywall bottom panels to access the fireplace to access the module.
@embersliving Hi There, thanks for this great video. Our contractor is pushing for the Crave Fireplace, which I don't even see on the list here. What do you think about the Crave fireplace from heatilator?
Thank you so much for very informative info re: pro’s & con’s. Am replacing a 38” Montigo linear, installed 2008, which in spite of meticulous annual servicing, has run its “lifespan.” Live in a very mild California coastal climate, in a 728 sq ft house w/double-paned windows - unable to get interior heat past 59 degrees during coolest winter months, since winter 2019 (never below 32 degrees/freezing outside) & flames radically diminished in height & color. Don’t know if orifices might have a shortened life span, from salt air corrosion due to location a few blocks from (Pacific) ocean. Going w/Valor L1, have space limitations - just so excited to hear description of how hard to stand in front of Valor, due to heat. That’s a problem I’ll look forward to enjoying !
yes you are correct. All these brands change their pricing every year, so we dont mention it so the video isnt dated. All pricing can be found on the link below our video. All are on our website

Thanks for the great video. I'd like to recess my TV 2' - 3" into the wall above the fireplace so that it sits somewhat flush to the original wall surface. Would the cool wall kit for the Montigo Distinction have enough clearance to the front wall to allow for the TV to be recessed a few inches? Thanks.
are there any linear gas units where you can choose if you want the heat dumped into the room or not? e.g., run it during the summer for the looks and not turn the house into a volcano?
Hi Trevor I have a question... Please are you able to do one of your excellent videos on what appears to be the latest in fire stoves...... ULEB wood fires and in particular the Pyrolytic fire stove ? We all love your pro's versus cons approach to reviews... something to think about...!!!
Any chance I could get a close up photo of the Mendota flat concrete liner without the fire on? On their website it seems really black. In your video it's much lighter. Thanks!
Just wondering how safe ventless is. I am reading on CDC that these fireplaces can release noxious materials and are not that can affect air quality. Further concerns around sooting of furniture over time. Here is what I am reading. I guess the concern is if these fireplaces are catching on now but will later have concerns. Further to this, as new models come out, may have to trade out and pay more money if these issues below are fixed much better. That can be expensive because I would want a newer unit four or five years from now if they could eliminate these issues below: Drawbacks of Ventless Fireplaces The following are drawbacks of ventless fireplaces: Release of dangerous gasses Carbon monoxide & Nitrous Dioxide Dangerous if not managed correctly and negative long-term effects Excessive levels of carbon dioxide Produces high levels of green-house gasses Sooting on the walls, ceiling, and furniture Darkening and potential damage to furniture, walls, and ceilings Moisture & humidity buildup Heightened risk of mold and other moisture born issues Reduction of oxygen in small spaces Heightened risk of air quality and oxygen level issues
Great video. We've been comparing against a Fireplace Xtrordinair premium linear gas fireplace. Any thoughts on how they compare to the Distinction or Vector?

Have there been any updates worth mentioned or worth a new video for 2022 or upcoming 2023.
We haven't had any new liners installed as of lately. We will focus on fireplace videos around mid-late summer.

Would the cool wall kit for the Montigo Distinction have enough clearance to the front wall to allow for the TV to be recessed a few inches? Thanks.
it depends how much and you would have to use all non combustible
are there any linear gas units where you can choose if you want the heat dumped into the room or not? e.g., run it during the summer for the looks and not turn the house into a volcano?
haha, like you want to dump the heat outside the house? If so yes, you would want a Mendota
Do gas fireplaces HAVE to have the glass in front? My fiance is adamant about not having glass covering the front, and we want a linear modern look.
vent free do not, but I recommend a direct vent unit, and that does need a glass front
Golden Blount makes an open front linear. Isokern came out with one as well.
I would not suggest having a open gas fireplace. You have the potential of inhaling the exhaust.
@Castro's Son yes. I think you can smell some of the gas inside.
Hi Trevor I have a question... Please are you able to do one of your excellent videos on what appears to be the latest in fire stoves...... ULEB wood fires and in particular the Pyrolytic fire stove ?

So we don't include prices because they are always changing. Check out our website for up to date prices.

Drawbacks of Ventless Fireplaces
The following are drawbacks of ventless fireplaces:
Release of dangerous gasses
Carbon monoxide & Nitrous Dioxide
Dangerous if not managed correctly and negative long-term effects
Excessive levels of carbon dioxide
Produces high levels of green-house gasses
Sooting on the walls, ceiling, and furniture
Darkening and potential damage to furniture, walls, and ceilings
Moisture & humidity buildup
Heightened risk of mold and other moisture born issues
Reduction of oxygen in small spaces
Heightened risk of air quality and oxygen level issues
yeah they are 99% efficient but that still leaves one percent poison in the house, so they are not my favorite
