Touchstone BurnBrite Smart Electric Log Inserts
The Touchstone BurnBrite turns an unused wood- or gas-fireplace opening into an electric hearth without smoke, ash, venting, or built-in construction. Its molded oak log set, glowing ember bed, rear flame screen, and adjustable crackling sound preserve a traditional fireplace character while adding modern controls.
Available in 22- and 27-inch widths, the freestanding insert plugs into a grounded 120V outlet and can be controlled from the panel, included remote, Touchstone app, Alexa, or Google Home.
