Kozy Heat Callaway 72 Gas Fireplace
The Kozy Heat Callaway 72 is a premium architectural linear gas fireplace — a nearly six-foot-wide statement piece designed for modern luxury homes, contemporary remodels, restaurants, hotels, and commercial spaces where the fireplace is the architectural anchor of the room. With a modulating burner from 25,000 to 49,500 BTU/hr, a 72-7/8 inch wide × 15-3/4 inch tall viewing area (nearly 1,150 square inches of flame), three interior media options, three decorative front styles, and Kozy Heat's signature Komfort Zone Kit for safely mounting a TV above the fireplace, the Callaway 72 is the most sophisticated and customizable linear fireplace in the Kozy Heat lineup.
What Makes the Callaway 72 Different?
Five capabilities set the Callaway 72 apart from typical linear gas fireplaces:
- Modulating burner (25,000–49,500 BTU NG) — continuously adjusts output rather than cycling on/off. More consistent room temperature, lower gas consumption, quieter operation. Ramps up on cold days, runs gently on mild evenings.
- Komfort Zone Kit (optional, part #KZK-072) — Kozy Heat's signature convection duct system that redistributes warm air away from the fireplace opening to higher up the wall, out the sidewalls, or even to an adjacent room. Uses natural convection (no fan required). The practical result: dramatically cooler wall temperatures above the fireplace, which enables lower mantel clearances and safe TV mounting directly above the fireplace.
- Heat Transfer Kits (Interior & Exterior) — redirect heat from the main firebox to other rooms in the home. Particularly useful in open-concept layouts or homes where the fireplace location and the room that needs heat aren't the same.
- Power Vent System (optional) — alternative to standard direct-vent termination that provides venting flexibility for installations where standard vent paths aren't possible (long runs, unusual terminations, retrofit scenarios)
- Extensive customization — three interior media options (Ledgestone, Chicago Brick, Black Glass), three decorative front styles in multiple finishes, optional variable-speed blower with 6-level remote control

Kozy Heat Gas Fireplace FAQs
What makes Kozy Heat gas fireplaces different from wood fireplaces?
Gas fireplaces offer easier operation, less mess, and more consistent control than a traditional wood-burning fireplace. There is no wood hauling, ash cleanup, or manual fire starting.
What is a direct vent gas fireplace?
A direct vent fireplace draws combustion air from outside and vents exhaust outdoors. This makes it a popular choice for modern installations.
Can I install a Kozy Heat gas fireplace in a room without a chimney?
Often, yes. Many direct vent gas fireplaces can be installed without a masonry chimney, but installation depends on vent routing, clearances, local code, and the selected model.
Are Kozy Heat gas fireplaces for heat or decoration?
Both. Many homeowners choose them for supplemental heat, while others use them as a design centerpiece with realistic flames and decorative media.
Can I choose between traditional and modern styles?
Yes. Kozy Heat offers traditional log-style fireplaces as well as modern linear and contemporary designs.
Should I choose a gas fireplace or gas insert?
Choose a gas insert if you already have an existing wood-burning fireplace you want to convert. Choose a gas fireplace if you are building a new fireplace location or replacing a full fireplace system.
