Why Choose the Fire & Ice RusticStone RS30?
Traditional Fireplace Appearance
The RS30 includes a pre-installed oak-style log set with individually illuminated elements that create a familiar fireplace presentation. The log display makes the unit especially suitable for traditional rooms, fireplace renovations, and spaces where a linear contemporary fireplace would look out of place.
Built-In or Insert Installation
Install the RS30 in a newly framed wall, integrate it into custom cabinetry, or use it as an insert in a compatible existing fireplace opening. Its compact depth supports a flush architectural finish without requiring the deep cavity associated with many gas fireplaces.
Two Heating Configurations
A standard 120V installation provides up to 5,000 BTU of supplemental heat. For larger rooms or increased heating performance, the fireplace can be hardwired to 240V for output up to 10,000 BTU.
WiFi-Enabled Convenience
Connect the fireplace to the TuyaSmart Life app to adjust supported fireplace functions from a compatible smartphone or tablet. The fireplace also includes a handheld programmable remote and integrated touch controls, so operation does not depend exclusively on the app.
Year-Round Flame Display
The flame and lighting effects operate independently from the heater. Enjoy the appearance of a fire during warmer weather without adding heat to the room.
Flame, Log, and Lighting Effects
The RusticStone RS30 uses low-energy LED technology to create adjustable flame and ember effects. A mirrored rear panel reflects the flame movement, increasing the apparent depth of the firebox.
- Yellow and orange flame color combinations
- Adjustable flame brightness
- Three flame-speed settings: low, medium, and high
- Adjustable ember-bed lighting
- Illuminated log-set effects
- Multiple mood-light color selections
- Mirrored rear panel for added visual depth
- LED flame operation with low electrical consumption
The fireplace is supplied with its pre-set log display. Alternative decorative media may be available separately, but it is not included as standard equipment unless specifically stated in the order.
Heating Performance
The RS30 is designed for supplemental zone heating. Its heater can be operated in low, high, or automatic temperature-control modes, allowing the room setting to be adjusted without changing the flame display.
| Electrical Configuration | Maximum Power | Maximum Heat Output | Approximate Heating Area |
|---|---|---|---|

| 240V hardwired | 2,800 watts | 10,000 BTU | Approximately 800 sq. ft. |
Heating coverage is approximate and depends on insulation, ceiling height, room layout, outdoor temperature, and other site conditions. This fireplace is intended as a supplemental heat source, not as a replacement for a primary central heating system.

The RusticStone RS30 provides three control methods: integrated touch controls, the included programmable remote, and the TuyaSmart Life mobile app.
WiFi and Mobile App Control
- Connects through the TuyaSmart Life app
- Supports compatible Apple and Android mobile devices
- Controls supported flame, lighting, heat, and temperature functions

Available app functions may vary by software version and connected device. A strong WiFi signal should be available near the fireplace during setup and normal operation.
Installation Options
Built-In Installation
Frame the RS30 into a wall or custom enclosure for a clean, integrated appearance. The fireplace is secured through its side mounting points after the front trim and internal components are temporarily removed according to the installation manual.
Fireplace Insert Installation
The unit may be used in a compatible existing fireplace opening when the opening provides the required dimensions, electrical access, ventilation, and a dry indoor environment. Measure the opening before ordering; the RS30 is not guaranteed to fit every masonry or factory-built fireplace.
Electrical Installation
For 120V operation, the fireplace can be tested and operated from a properly grounded 15-amp, 120V, 60Hz outlet. A dedicated branch circuit is recommended to reduce the risk of a tripped breaker or blown fuse.
Hardwired installation requires removal of the factory power cord and must follow the wiring diagrams in the owner’s manual. All 120V or 240V hardwired electrical work should be completed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local and national codes.
Installation Requirements
- Indoor installation only
- Install in a location that is not prone to moisture
- Keep combustible materials at least 3 feet from the front of the fireplace
- Do not obstruct the air-intake vent located below and behind the front trim
- Allow at least 1/4 inch around the appliance when preparing the framed opening
- Test all fireplace functions before completing the final installation
- Follow local electrical, building, and fireplace-installation codes
- Consult a qualified builder when integrating the unit into unfamiliar wall materials
Can the RusticStone RS30 Be Installed Below a TV?
The manufacturer identifies the RusticStone series as having a TV-safe design. The final installation must still follow the fireplace manual, television manufacturer requirements, mantel or enclosure design, and all applicable clearance and ventilation rules.

Is the RusticStone RS30 the Right Electric Fireplace for You?
Choose the Fire & Ice RusticStone RS30 when you want the look of a traditional log fireplace, flexible built-in or insert installation, smartphone and remote controls, and a choice between standard 120V heating and higher-output 240V operation.
Choose the RS30 If You Need:
- A compact 30-inch traditional electric fireplace
- A built-in fireplace or insert for an existing compatible opening
- Realistic illuminated logs rather than a contemporary linear firebed
- Flame effects that operate without heat
- WiFi, remote, and touch-panel controls
- Up to 10,000 BTU through a properly completed 240V installation
- Optional three-sided or four-sided trim flexibility
Consider a Different Fireplace If You Need:
- An outdoor-rated fireplace
- A wide linear or panoramic design
- A gas or wood-burning heat source
- A primary heating appliance for an entire home
- A fireplace that fits an opening smaller than the documented RS30 framing requirements
Verify the Opening and Electrical Plan Before Installation
Confirm the final built-in, flush-mount, or insert application; rough-opening dimensions; front-airflow clearance; optional trim selection; and 120V or 240V electrical configuration before modifying cabinetry, framing, or an existing fireplace opening.

Let customers speak for us
from 4074 reviewsI was able to get a Novus 33 in brick refractory back for my NG Novus fireplace insert. Novus is a high demand item and Flame authority was only supplier without a huge delay from manufacturer. I recommend them for all fireplace needs.
Great service and great product
Product is great, free shipping was good, and unpacking and installing it was easy. Customer support was great too, both with the sales and shipping carrier. After much research…the Modern Flames Redstone is the one.
A+ = both the sale, the shipping process, and the product
I purchased burner and fire box. I emailed and spoke with Jim . He helped me from start to finish. Great service
The mantel required a little bit of sanding and prep before painting, but was good quality. Flame Authority did an excellent job shipping and it arrived by freight in perfect condition.
The mantel assembled well. I ended up using some construction adhesive to glue the legs on to make it a little more sturdy. I cut pocket holes in the top to attach it to the wall.
Very happy with our purchase!
I shopped for a grill for two people. I want it to last for ten years or more. I want it to get really hot for grilling steaks after they have been cooled sous vide. I want it to be useful also for lower temp cooking. This Blaze grill is perfect for me and my wife. Our purchase through Flame Authority was completed with no problems. I am totally satisfied with this grill and highly recommend it for anyone with similar needs.
Came as advertised and without any delays. Arrived quickly. No issues and would buy from flame authority again.
I wanted to make sure of the size and features of this oven. I called Flame Authority and Mary answered the call. She gave me all the details and I was really amazed coz she really knows what she is selling. Expert with sales and communication. Thumbs Up!
I bought the stove couple weeks ago and ended up having a chance running it a few days I am very pleased with the outcome of the amount of heat it gets out also with the amount of hours it burns at least eight hours. I would recommend this for anyone who is looking for hours of heat output. At first when I bought it I didn’t quite know if mine hopes will be for filled but now they are happy with it. I would recommend this to anyone as a trusted tester of it I am very pleased of the outcome it rains.!
Nice , polite and helpful, when you would call with questions.Fireplace looks nice and throws a decent amount of heat , just a bit of a delay in delivery. Ended up getting it End of January, right before guests arrived. But still only took 3 weeks to get. Thank you Flame Authority !!!
I didn't expect to have this fireplace earlier than the lead time they promised. It looks stunning in my living room and now we are prepared for the upcoming winter season! I am happy with all the updates! Customer service representatives keep on updating me with the process of my order until delivery they are checking it for you! 10 stars for Flame Authority!
Simply beautifully designed. Very efficient. Looks gorgeous in our mid century modern home in a corner space. Will save us $$$ on electric heat bills and is easy to clean with fireplace glass cleaner.
I believe it was David Novak that helped me. Someone ALWAYS answered the phone and located this burner when I couldn't find it anywhere else. It almost seemed too good to be true. But it wasn't. The burner is now nestled in my new outdoor kitchen and am very pleased.
Thank you for a very smooth transaction. the remote is very useful. It is very easy to install
