A strong option for turning an old wood fireplace opening or a framed wall into an electric hearth with a changeable look. Plan the install carefully, since the listed body depth and the wall depth note do not agree.

Overview
A living room wall or a worn wood-burning fireplace opening is where the Redstone belongs, installed as a built-in insert with a front-facing flame. A fan-forced quartz heater with a thermostat adds warmth when the room needs it, and trim kits finish the edges.
Two media sets and a wide range of flame and accent light colors let the look shift from traditional logs to modern crystals without new hardware. It is a heavy built-in, and the listing leaves out the electrical draw, so the install needs planning before the frame goes up.
Who it's for
Living rooms with an unused wood-burning fireplace, or a wall that can be framed for a flush insert, suit this unit. Renters and anyone without access to the wall cavity should look at a freestanding or wall-hung model.
Pros and cons
- Two media sets for a changeable look
- Many flame colors plus RGB accent lighting
- Thermostat holds a chosen room temperature
- Retrofits an existing wood fireplace opening
- Heavy unit to lift into place
- Electrical draw not listed
- Listed depth conflicts with the wall depth note
- Needs framing or an existing firebox
Performance notes
Heat comes from a quartz element with a fan pushing warm air out the front, and the thermostat cycles the heater to hold the set temperature. The flame and accent lighting work as a light effect, so the look can be adjusted separately from the heat.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Modern Flames Redstone a freestanding fireplace?
No. It is a built-in unit that slides into an existing zero clearance wood-burning fireplace or into a wall with 10 inches of depth for a flush look. Finish trim kits are included for the opening.
Does the Redstone hold a set room temperature?
Yes. Set the thermostat to the temperature you want and the unit adjusts its fan-forced heater to maintain it.
Can the Modern Flames Redstone run the flame without heat?
The description presents the heater as something you engage when extra warmth is needed, so the flame effect is meant to run on its own. Confirm the exact controls in the manual.
How much power does the Redstone draw?
The listing calls it corded electric but gives no wattage or circuit requirement, so check the manual before planning the outlet.
