Who It’s For

Not every room has a fireplace, and some rooms just need a dependable fire of their own. You need heat and flame without building a chimney. The Regency Ultimate U38 is for the room where a freestanding gas stove makes sense. Choose a heater with no flame and you get the warmth without the reason to sit by it.

What Makes It Special

The Ultimate U38 frames the fire with clean lines and a one-piece wraparound door, so you see more of the flames.

Set it high for heat or turn it down to keep the ambiance with less heat. A variable-speed blower, safety screen, black steel pedestal, and a battery back-up for power outages come standard.

Like every Regency gas stove, it runs safely without electricity and keeps warming you with radiant heat in an outage.

Possible Downsides

• Propane takes a conversion kit.

If you want a dependable gas fire without building a chimney, the Regency Ultimate U38 is the right decision. The room you used to pass through becomes the one everyone settles into.

Choose natural oak or driftwood logs, brushed nickel or black louvers, a wall thermostat, and an input reduction kit.
