“Fire is our passion!” says Acucraft Owner Chris Maxson. “What stokes our fire even more, is when customers tell us we’ve made their fireplace dream come true.”
Custom Indoor Gas Fire Pit Dream
Last year Acucraft Fireplace Advisor Mark Kennedy received a call from Bill who was in the process of building his new modern home in La Crescent, MN. Bill shared his unique fireplace idea with Mark. He envisioned an indoor gas, open-flame fire pit with a 22″ open viewing area between the flames and four-sided suspended glass. Bill wanted to avoid unsightly supports, so Acucraft designed the tempered glass to be anchored by the hood from the ceiling.
Certainly, Bill had chosen the right manufacturer to bring his fireplace dream to life. For over 39 years, Acucraft has been specializing in designing and manufacturing one-of-a-kind custom fireplaces. And an indoor fire pit like this would add the perfect touch to create a unique atmosphere for Bill’s future sunken living room.
Candid Collaboration
Next, Bill, the home owner, engaged his Architect, Chris Bach, of award-winning CityDeskStudio—known for modern contextual architecture and design. Together with the Acucraft Design Team, they collaborated on this fireplace idea. The Acucraft Team designed the indoor fire pit to accommodate their budget, work within the space limitations, meet performance and safety compliance, and maintain the aesthetics of Bill’s fireplace vision. Then the Acucraft Design Team produced 3-D drawings that concealed valves, pipes, and venting for a clean, modern appearance.

Upon design approval, the Acucraft Production Team got to work. Acucraft’s highly skilled Fabricators, Welders, and Finishers handcrafted Bill’s custom gas open-flame fire pit using the highest quality materials and components. This way, Bill can enjoy his indoor fire pit for a lifetime.
Certified Performance + Safety Testing
Before the indoor fire pit was crated, shipped and delivered to the job site, Bill’s fireplace was Third-Party tested and certified within Acucraft’s internal test lab to meet or exceed ANSI Z21.50/CSA 2.22 performance and safety standards. Acucraft is one of the few, if not the only, fireplace manufacturers in the world who is third-party certified by Lab-Test Certifiecation, Inc. to conduct internal testing. That’s how much Acucraft cares about your fireplace safety and performance for a lifetime of happy burning.
