About Golden Blount

Golden Blount at a Glance

Golden Blount is the specialist on this site. They build gas fireboxes in Texas, largely by hand, and the reason a Utah showroom carries them is size and output—openings and flame heights that the volume lines simply do not offer.

It turns up in three kinds of project. Great rooms with twenty-foot ceilings, where a standard firebox looks like a postage stamp on the wall. Mountain homes where the fireplace is expected to actually heat rather than decorate. And custom builds where an architect has drawn something specific and somebody has to make it.

The trade is the one you would expect from a small builder: it is not the line to pick for a quick stocked install, lead times are longer, and it costs more. If your project is ordinary, one of the other lines here will serve you better and your shop will say so.

The short answer

Golden Blount is the specialist on this shelf. They build gas fireboxes in Texas, largely by hand, and the reason a Utah showroom carries them is size and output—openings and flame heights the volume lines do not offer. It turns up in great rooms with very tall ceilings, in mountain houses where the fireplace is expected to heat rather than decorate, and in custom builds where an architect has drawn something specific. The trade is the one you would expect from a small builder: longer lead times, higher cost, and not much sitting in stock.

When the Answer Is Golden Blount

This line exists for a narrow set of problems. If none of them is yours, something mainstream will serve you better and cost less.

  • A great room with a very tall ceiling Golden Blount—this is the reason it exists
  • You want a big traditional firebox and a real log look El Grande or Superfire
  • The opening is tall and narrow Skyscraper
  • You want a long linear opening at scale The Linear LFP series
  • The fire is going on a covered patio The outdoor fireboxes in the same line
  • An ordinary room and a normal timeline A mainstream gas fireplace

The difference

Golden Blount or a Volume Line

The difference is not finish or fit. It is what a small builder can do that a large one will not.

Where This Lands in Utah

Mountain Houses Where the Fireplace is a Heater

Most gas fireplaces in this state are sized as comfort heat for the room they sit in. A few houses want the fireplace to carry a large open volume on a cold night, and that is a different specification—bigger firebox, more output, and a flame you can see from the far end of the room. This is the shelf for it.

It is a Made-To-Order Purchase, so it Belongs Early

A line that is not stocked is a line that has to be ordered, framed for, and vented to its own requirements. Bring it into the conversation at the drawing or framing stage rather than after the wall is up. Doing it the other way round is how a custom fireplace turns into a change order.

There is an Outdoor Side Worth Asking About

Part of this line is built for outdoor fireboxes in the same proportions, which is a useful thing to know if the covered patio is meant to match the great room. Ask your shop to price it alongside the Napoleon and Carol Rose outdoor ranges—the three solve the same problem at different scales.

Questions buyers ask

About Golden Blount

Where can I buy Golden Blount in Utah?

Every showroom in this network carries Golden Blount—17 of them, from Logan to St. George. Enter your zip code and you'll be pointed at the one that covers your street, or browse them all further up this page.

Who installs Golden Blount in Utah?

The shop that sells it. Every dealer in this network installs its own work rather than handing it to a subcontractor, so the people who help you choose the unit are the people who fit it and the people who answer for it afterwards.

What does Golden Blount make?

Superfire SF, El Grande HD, Skyscraper HD, Linear LFP—4 product families on this site. The range section above sets out where each one lands.

Who is Golden Blount?

A small American manufacturer based in Texas that builds gas fireboxes largely by hand. They are not a volume line and do not try to be—the business is built on output and size, which is precisely the reason a Utah showroom keeps them on the price list for the projects that need it.

Why would I pay more for one of these?

You would not, unless the room demands it. The case for this line is a firebox and a flame that a volume manufacturer does not make, in a space big enough that a standard fireplace would look and feel undersized. In an ordinary living room the money is better spent on a better mainstream unit and better finish work around it.

How big do Golden Blount fireplaces get?

Into the range where a firebox becomes an architectural element rather than an appliance—some of the largest gas fireboxes built in the country. Sizes are specified per project, so the useful conversation is about the wall and the ceiling height rather than about a model number.

What is the difference between Superfire, El Grande and Skyscraper?

They are three proportions of the same idea. Superfire and El Grande are the large traditional fireboxes, aimed at a deep firebox and a full log look. Skyscraper is the tall, narrow one, for a chimney breast that reads vertically. The Linear LFP series is the long, low answer for a contemporary room. Shape first, then size.

Can one of these go into a fireplace I already have?

No. These are fireboxes built into a framed wall or a chase, not inserts. If you have a masonry opening and you want to improve what happens in it, an insert or a gas log set is the right category, and both are covered on this site.

Does Golden Blount make outdoor fireplaces?

Yes, in the same proportions as the indoor fireboxes, which is what makes them worth asking about when an indoor and an outdoor fireplace are meant to look like a pair. It is a small part of the line, so availability is a phone call rather than an assumption.

How long does one take to arrive?

Longer than a stocked unit, and the honest answer for your project comes from the shop rather than from a page. The thing to avoid is discovering the lead time after the framing is done—ask at the point where you are still choosing, not after.

Can I see one lit in Utah?

Less often than the volume lines, because a showroom can only keep so many very large fireboxes burning. Ask the shop nearest you what they have and whether they can point you at a finished installation—with a line like this, seeing one in a real room is worth more than a display.
