Fire & Ice RusticStone Electric Fireplace
Fire & Ice RusticStone RS36 36-Inch Smart Built-In Electric Fireplace
The Fire & Ice RusticStone RS36 is an indoor, front-view electric fireplace designed for built-in installations and fireplace retrofit projects. Its traditional firebox presentation combines a pre-installed illuminated oak-style log set, a mirrored rear panel, adjustable flame effects, WiFi app control, programmable heating, and a clean flush-mount appearance.
The RS36 operates from a standard 120V connection for up to 5,000 BTU of supplemental heat or can be professionally hardwired to 240V for up to 10,000 BTU. Flame and lighting effects can operate without the heater, allowing the fireplace to provide ambiance throughout the year.

Who Is the RusticStone RS36 Best For?
The RusticStone RS36 is designed for buyers who want the appearance of a traditional log fireplace with the convenience and installation flexibility of electric heat.
Living rooms, family rooms, bedrooms, offices, and media rooms
New fireplace walls, millwork, and built-in cabinetry projects
Renovations involving an existing masonry or zero-clearance fireplace opening
Homes that need supplemental heat without gas lines, chimneys, or venting
Buyers who want remote and smartphone control
Installations that need a standard 120V plug-in option
Projects that can support a 240V hardwire connection for higher heat output
Traditional or transitional interiors that suit a log-based fire presentation
When to Choose a Different Fireplace
Do not use the RS36 outdoors. It is intended for indoor installation only.
Do not select this model if you require a wood-burning or gas-powered flame.
Do not rely on it as the sole heating system for an entire home.
Do not assume 10,000 BTU performance from a standard 120V outlet; maximum output requires a 240V hardwired installation.
Do not install it in a moisture-prone location unless the installation is expressly permitted by the manufacturer and local code.
Do not cover or obstruct the lower air-intake area behind the front trim.
Why Choose the Fire & Ice RusticStone RS36?
The RS36 combines a classic fireplace appearance with modern controls and two electrical installation options. Its illuminated log set and mirrored rear panel provide a deeper firebox presentation, while the adjustable flame, ember, and mood-light settings allow the visual appearance to be changed for different rooms and seasons.
For uncomplicated installations, the fireplace can operate from a grounded 120V connection. Projects that need greater supplemental heat can use a properly installed 240V hardwire connection. The fireplace does not require a chimney, gas line, fuel storage, or combustion venting.
Key Features
Built-In or Insert Design: Suitable for new framed installations or retrofit fireplace projects.
Pre-Installed Illuminated Log Set: Creates a traditional firebox appearance without wood, ash, or combustion.
Mirrored Back Panel: Reflects flame movement and lighting to increase the visual depth of the firebox.
Multi-Color Flame Effects: Provides selectable yellow and orange flame and lighting combinations.
Adjustable Flame Brightness: Seven manual brightness settings allow the flame presentation to be softened or intensified.
Three Flame Speeds: Select high, medium, or low flame movement from the remote control.
Adjustable Ember and Mood Lighting: Customize the lower firebox glow and accent lighting.
WiFi App Control: Connect the fireplace to the Tuya Smart Life app for compatible smartphone control.
Programmable Remote: Operate power, heat, thermostat, lighting, timers, and flame settings from across the room.
Seven-Day Scheduling: Program selected operating periods and temperatures using the remote control.
120V or 240V Operation: Use the standard plug-in configuration or hardwire the fireplace for increased heating output.
Flame Without Heat: Run the visual effects independently for year-round use.
LED Lighting Technology: Uses low-energy lighting for the flame, log, tray, and accent effects.
Touch Controls: Manual controls are positioned on the upper-left area of the fireplace.
TV-Safe Design: The manufacturer identifies the RusticStone series as suitable for installations beneath a television when installation instructions and clearance requirements are followed.
Finish Trim Included: Provides a clean transition between the fireplace and the surrounding finished opening.
Heating Performance: 120V vs. 240V
The RusticStone RS36 supports two electrical configurations. The correct option depends on the available electrical service and the amount of supplemental heat required.
Configuration
Maximum Power
Maximum Heat Output
Approximate Heating Area
Best Use
120V Plug-In
1,400 watts
5,000 BTU
Up to approximately 400 sq. ft.
Standard supplemental heating and simpler electrical installation
240V Hardwire
2,800 watts
Up to 10,000 BTU
Up to approximately 800 sq. ft.
Larger rooms or projects requiring greater supplemental heat
Actual heating performance depends on insulation, ceiling height, outdoor temperature, room layout, air movement, and the home's existing heating system. The fireplace is intended for supplemental room heating rather than whole-home heating.
Thermostat and Heat Settings
The heater supports low, high, and automatic thermostat operation. The remote identifies low heat as approximately 700 watts and high heat as approximately 1,400 watts in the standard 120V operating mode.
The thermostat can be adjusted from approximately 59°F to 83°F or 15°C to 28°C. In automatic mode, the fireplace cycles the heater in response to the selected room-temperature setting.
Flame, Log, and Lighting Experience
The RS36 is designed around a traditional illuminated log presentation. Its pre-installed log set sits in front of a mirrored rear panel that reflects the lighting and flame movement, helping the firebox appear deeper than its physical dimensions.
Adjustable Flame Appearance
Multiple flame brightness levels
High, medium, and low flame-speed settings
Yellow and orange flame combinations
Independent flame-light control
Flame operation with or without heat
Log, Tray, and Mood Lighting
The remote can independently control the illuminated log set, tray lighting, and mood-light system. The fireplace includes multiple lighting states and color combinations, allowing the firebox to be adjusted from a warm traditional appearance to a brighter, more decorative presentation.
The owner's manual states that the fireplace is supplied with its preset log set. Optional decorative media can be purchased separately and installed using the included media tray components where applicable.
WiFi, App, Remote, and Touch Controls
The RusticStone RS36 provides three control methods: the built-in touch panel, the included programmable remote, and compatible smartphone control through the Tuya Smart Life app.
Tuya Smart Life App Control
After the fireplace is paired with the home's WiFi network, the Tuya Smart Life app provides compatible controls for power, temperature, heat level, flame lighting, tray lighting, flame speed, mood lighting, and programmable timing functions.
Bluetooth, WiFi, and location access must be enabled on the phone during initial setup. Keep the phone close to the fireplace and verify that the WiFi account information and signal are correct before pairing.
Programmable Remote Control
The included remote controls the primary fireplace functions without requiring a smartphone. Available controls include:
Fireplace power
Low, high, automatic, and off heat modes
Temperature selection
Flame light and brightness
Flame speed
Tray and ember-bed lighting
Log-set lighting
Mood-light settings
Countdown shutoff timer
Seven-day timer programming
Fahrenheit and Celsius display
Manual Touch Controls
The manual control panel provides access to power, flame brightness, ember-bed brightness, timer, heater, thermostat, and temperature-unit settings. Manual controls remain available when the app or remote is not being used.
Built-In and Retrofit Installation
The RS36 can be incorporated into a framed wall, feature wall, millwork project, or a compatible existing fireplace opening. The finished installation is front-facing and uses the supplied trim to conceal the transition around the appliance.
RS36 Rough Framing Opening
Framing Width
32-5/8 in.
Framing Height
23-1/8 in.
Framing Depth
9-7/8 in.
The owner's manual instructs installers to leave at least 1/4 inch around the edge of the appliance and to verify all measurements before framing. Product dimensions and specifications are subject to change, so the current installation manual must be consulted before construction begins.
Location Requirements
Select a dry indoor location that is not prone to moisture.
Keep combustible materials at least 3 feet from the front of the fireplace.
Avoid placing the screen where direct sunlight from windows or doors will reduce flame visibility.
Do not obstruct the air-intake vent at the bottom and behind the front trim.
Confirm that the wall, framing, and surrounding materials can support the appliance.
Test the fireplace before completing the permanent installation.
Follow all applicable electrical, building, and fire-safety codes.
120V Plug-In Installation
The fireplace can be tested and operated from a grounded 120V, 60 Hz receptacle. The manufacturer specifies a 15-amp branch circuit with proper grounding and recommends a dedicated circuit to reduce nuisance breaker trips or blown fuses.
240V Hardwired Installation
A 240V hardwire connection is required to access the maximum 2,800-watt and 10,000-BTU heating output. When the appliance is hardwired, the power cord must be removed and the electrical connection must follow the wiring diagram supplied with the fireplace.
Hardwired installation must be completed in accordance with local codes. In the absence of local requirements, follow the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code in Canada or ANSI/NFPA 70 National Electrical Code in the United States.
Installation Below a Television
The manufacturer identifies the RusticStone series as TV-safe. The television, fireplace, framing, mantel, and wall system must still be installed according to their individual clearance, ventilation, and temperature requirements.
Important Safety Information
Read the complete installation and owner's manual before installing or operating the fireplace.
Keep furniture, curtains, bedding, paper, clothing, and other combustible materials at least 3 feet from the front of the unit.
Use extreme caution when operating the heater near children or when the fireplace is left unattended.
Do not operate the fireplace with a damaged cord, damaged plug, or malfunctioning heater.
Do not run the power cord beneath carpeting, rugs, runners, or similar coverings.
Do not insert objects into the ventilation or exhaust openings.
Disconnect electrical power before cleaning, servicing, or relocating the appliance.
Do not modify the fireplace or use it for a purpose not described by the manufacturer.
Do not connect the heater to an unsupported external switching device that automatically energizes it.
Allow the fireplace to cool before servicing.
Use qualified service personnel when electrical or internal component work is required.
The appliance includes overheat protection. If the thermal safety device activates, turn the fireplace off, allow it to cool for approximately 10 minutes, and inspect the installation for blocked airflow or another cause before restarting it.

Great customer service for hard to get refractory brick back
I 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 company to work with and an even better fireplace for our home
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.
