Find the perfect fireplace for your space
A fireplace project gets complicated fast—the unit, the gas, the venting, the framing, the finish—and it's hard to find one company that will guide the whole thing and still be there after the sale. We do. We guide you to the fireplace that fits your home, not the one that's easiest to sell, and we carry Kozy Heat, Mendota, Napoleon, RH Peterson, and Ambiance all under one roof so you compare the best of each in person.
Then our own factory-trained crew installs the fireplace and its venting, we refer you to local contractors for the gas, electrical, and finish work, and we come back when you need us, with a full year of free service after the sale. So you end up with a fireplace you love, put in right, from a Kansas City family business that's served Kansas City families since 1945.

What a pleasant purchase experience. Johnathan answered all the questions we asked, Carrie helped us with financing, the installer (whose name I did not capture unfortunately) was competent, thorough, pleasant and thoroughly cleaned up behind himself. Easy peasy and we are looking forward to using our new ventless fireplace.
Thank you Judi! We enjoyed working with you and your husband. Matthew was your installer and glad to hear it went well from start to finish. Don't hesitate to reach out with any additional questions or concerns. Thanks again!
“I was reminded a few weeks ago why we have been customers for almost 30 years. High winds tipped over our new Broil King grill… Matthew came to our house with all the parts needed to fix and at a reasonable price… Try getting that with your big box store grill!”

I was reminded a few weeks ago why we have been customers for almost 30 years. High winds tipped over our new Broil King grill. I called the store and was set an appointment for service. Matthew came to our house with all the parts needed to fix and at a reasonable price ( act of nature, not warranty) Try getting that with your big box store grill! Money well spent.
Great customers + Great products = Fun business to be in! Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are always glad to help!
“The installation went super-smoothly, great job by all. We’ve had no issues with the fireplace, it looks great on or off. My wife and I agree this fireplace is one of the best things we ever did in terms of an upgrade.”

We purchased a Kozy Heat Nordic fireplace insert from Fireplace & Bar-B-Q Center in March 2023, so going on 2 years since it was installed. Per Jonathan's suggestion in Nov. 2022, we waited until Kozy Heat released the Nordik with the SIT gas control valve with ProFlame remote. So glad we waited, as the SIT system with the remote control is amazing. We use the auto-temp option in the winter, the fireplace maintains the room temperature just as we like it. So thankful to Johnathon for the recommendation to wait, he didn't have to do that. Just a quick note to express our appreciation for the Fireplace Center team, the fireplace has been amazing and we get repeated comments “are those real logs?” The Nordik is fantastic, puts out some good heat and the internal fan is very quiet. The installation went super-smoothly, great job by all. We’ve had no issues with the fireplace, it looks great on or off. My wife and I agree this fireplace is one of the best things we ever did in terms of an upgrade. The wood-burning fireplace would just suck the heat out of the room but the Kozy Heat unit is actually a second furnace, super nice on those cold winter days. And being a sealed unit there are zero combustion fumes to enter the home (i.e., carbon monoxide, etc.). In the summer we use the lighting features without flames, looks amazing. Bottom line, super happy with the Fireplace Center team and also with the Kozy Heat Nordik fireplace.
Thank you for taking them time to write such an awesome review. We love what we do and try to share with every customer what we know and what we'd do if it were our fireplace. Do unto others…! Thanks again and don't hesitate to reach out.

“We have been a customer of Fireplace & Bar-B-Q for 20 years and still have the same Fire Magic grill… Jonathan was kind enough to come by and provide parts and service to get it going. I did not ask him to.”
Read the full review
We have been a customer of Fireplace & Bar-B-Q for 20 years and still have the same Fire Magic grill. Recently, the propane pressure regulator became somewhat non-responsive causing little gas flow to the burners. Because it was late on Friday and I planned on using the grill on Saturday, Jonathan was kind enough to come by and provide parts and service to get it going. I did not ask him to. However, he called me Saturday and offered to come by and see what was needed to get it working. Great Service and I learned about how to care for the Burners. Call them as they are very friendly, accommodating and have excellent products.
Mr. Jones, I truly enjoyed chatting with you and getting your grill up and running. I applaud your care and attention to detail regarding your grill. It looks great! Thank you so much for the kind words.
“Very helpful and great customer service. Purchased a gas log set + install but ran into some issues. We had to return the set, and they came by and picked it up for no charge. Highly recommend, will absolutely use them in the future for my grill/smokers.”

Thank you sir! Keep in mind if your installation price covers you for an entire year if you encounter any issues. Glad Matthew was able to get everything setup for you all! Hope your log set makes the holidays even better this year!

Outstanding customer service is hard to come by these days. I felt compelled to write a review for KC Fireplace and BBQ center. They have gone above and beyond and exceeded our expectations on the three occasions we’ve done business with them. I would highly recommend them for all your fireplace and grilling needs.
We greatly appreciate your kind words and loyalty! Thank you for recommending us don't hesitate to reach out in the future!
“I called and sent some pictures to Mr. Kelly who sent me a PDF of the manual and walked me through starting the logs. He communicated everything very articulately and within minutes it was up and running. All of this at no charge.”
Read the full review
These guys are fantastic. They represent what a small, local business is in my mind. Great service and friendly, patient interactions. My family had just moved into a new house with a gas fireplace, but the manual had been lost and we had never used gas logs before. I called and sent some pictures to Mr. Kelly who sent me a PDF of the manual and walked me through starting the logs. He communicated everything very articulately and within minutes it was up and running. All of this at no charge. The best businesses are places that know a positive interaction with customers is far and away more important than nickel and diming. This is that sort of business.
Thank you so much for the positive review. Super excited that your logs are up and running. Remember the page about cleaning the ODS pilot...that needs to be done periodically.
“My husband and I had differing opinions about filling the full bottom of the fireplace with the lava rocks… When asking for a small bag and sharing the shinnanigans that led me to this request (differing opinions), they made me a small bag for free.”
Read the full review
We purchased and had installed a large ventless gas unit in early 2020 (which we love and use often! So it should have a separate 5 star review). However, these 5 stars are for a more recent experience. My husband and I had differing opinions about filling the full bottom of the fireplace with the lava rocks. I wasn't home during the install, so his opinion won. 11 months later, I happen to be in the area and swung by Fireplace & Bar-BQ Center to buy a small bag to fill in the rest of the fireplace 🙂. (victory will be mine!) But, they only had large bags... When the large bag came out, it was about 4x what we needed... When asking for a small bag and sharing the shinnanigans that led me to this request (differing opinions), they made me a small bag for free.
Thanks for the 5 Stars!!!
“Just purchased a new house with a fire pit had some questions about some sounds it was making… The gentleman in the store was very helpful and provide some guidance for my noise issue that didn’t cost me anything.”

Very helpful staff and knowledgeable. Just purchased a new house with a fire pit had some questions about some sounds it was making. I needed to also pick up additional lava rock. The gentleman in the store was very helpful and provide some guidance for my noise issue that didn’t cost me anything. Then helped load the lava rock into the car. Would return and recommend
Glad we could help. Thanks for the review!

Extremely knowledgeable / excellent service. Everyone in the store went above and beyond to help me find the perfect outdoor fireplace for our unique situation. I had spent 4 weeks with other retailers and installers to accomplish what they did for me in 30 minutes. I could not have been treated better and am very thankful to have found them for all my future BBQ and outdoor living needs. I could not offer a higher recommendation. They are the best!
Thanks Mike....we appreciate the business and glad you found a solution.
