Revolutionary Live Fire™ technology

Flames that wrap the logs.

The Live Fire™ burner system is designed to disappear behind the angled log set, keeping the focus on the flames. By directing the flame from beneath each log, the fire wraps around both sides and climbs upward, like flames dancing across and consuming real wood. A secondary base burner adds the warm glow of burned-down logs, glowing embers and charred twigs beneath the main log set.

Why the 658

A bigger, bolder fire.

Hidden burner, natural look

The burner tucks out of sight behind the logs. Flames wrap around each main log, and the multi-level flame pattern adds depth and dimension.

Bigger view, more impact

581 square inches of ceramic glass, 40 square inches more viewing area than the 616 gas insert, so every seat feels like the best seat in the house.

Designed to fit more places

Just 33-1/4 inches wide, with an installation width one inch narrower than the 616. Flush face options give a clean, built-in look.

Real heat, not just ambiance

Up to 39,000 BTU/hr on natural gas or 37,500 on propane, a 180 CFM convection fan and steady-state efficiency up to 85.79% (NG).

GreenSmart® remote control

A wireless thermostat remote with six levels of flame, fan and accent lighting, Smart Thermostat mode, Comfort Control™ and Ember-Glo™ ember-bed lighting.

Made in America

Built at The House of Fire by Travis Industries in Mukilteo, Washington, and backed by the manufacturer’s 7-Year “Real World” Warranty.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Will the 658 fit my fireplace?

The 658 is designed for existing masonry or zero-clearance (metal) fireplaces. With a 1-piece panel, the manufacturer’s minimum fireplace opening is 24 in. high, 34 in. wide and 17-1/2 in. deep (16-1/4 in. deep with the panel trim). Send us your measurements and photos and we’ll confirm the fit.

How is it vented?

Lopi and Fireplace Xtrordinair gas inserts use a co-linear direct vent system through your existing chimney: one liner vents exhaust and the other brings in combustion air, helping maintain indoor air quality.

Natural gas or propane?

Both. The 658 is rated up to 39,000 BTU/hr on natural gas and 37,500 BTU/hr on propane.

Is there a difference between the Fireplace Xtrordinair and Lopi versions?

Both brands list the same 658 Deluxe Live Fire™ specifications, and the insert is made by Travis Industries. The face designs carry the brand names: the Fireplace Xtrordinair Metropolitan™, or the Lopi Wilmington™, Profile™ and Times Square™.

Will it light during a power outage?

The GreenSmart® system includes a battery back-up to ensure proper ignition, even during power outages.

Is the glass guarded?

Yes. Lopi and Fireplace Xtrordinair gas insert faces come standard with ANSI-compliant ClearFire™ glass screens, a safety barrier against accidental contact with the hot glass.
