How we work
How we keep the Pleasant Hearth catalog current
Prices, sizes and finishes on our pages come from the Pleasant Hearth catalog, and we update it on a schedule. Some figures move with each update, and others stay fixed with the product.
What each update covers
Each update refreshes four things for every piece: the price of each size and finish, the sizes it comes in, the finishes on sale, and whether you can buy it at all. On a glass door that means every size in every finish. A grate gets every width, and a gas log set every length.
Opening ranges, frame sizes, BTU ratings and bar counts describe the product itself. They stay put between updates unless the product changes.
How often we update
At Pleasant Hearth we run the update on a schedule through the year. The catalog was last updated on September 26, 2026.
A price can still move between two updates. If the price at checkout differs from the one on our page, the checkout price is the one you pay.
When a piece is no longer available
A size or finish you can no longer buy leaves the catalog at the next update, and a product page goes with it once no size remains. When the piece comes back, it returns the same way, with its page and its figures.
So a door collection can show two finishes in one update and three in the next. Whatever you see on a shelf was on sale at the last update.
Where the product facts come from
Door style, glass, mesh, opening range, frame size, finish, grate bars, tool count, BTU rating and fuel type come from our product data. Each update carries any change in them through to the pages.
Every product page from the Pleasant Hearth approach prints only what that data holds for the piece in front of you. Where the data carries no opening range for a door size, the page shows none, and our door sizing guide shows how to measure and whom to ask.
Where the safety notes come from
Notes about chimneys, embers, carbon monoxide and vent-free gas come from public sources we have read: the National Fire Protection Association, the U.S. Fire Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Chimney Safety Institute of America and the California Health and Safety Code. Each note stays within what its source says, and each source is named with the date we read it.
Vent-free gas is where those sources are most cautious. EPA does not support gas stoves or gas logs that need no outside venting, citing indoor air quality. California law bars selling unvented heaters for use inside a home, apart from the exceptions it names. CPSC says never to run an unvented fuel-burning appliance in a room where people sleep. If you are weighing a vent-free stove or log set, read those notes before the specifications.
