Dimplex: Ignite Ultra 60

A five-foot fire with no gas line and no chimney.

Quick Facts

• Heating Capacity: 0–500 sq ft
• Viewing Area: A 60″ wide, 18″ tall fire.
• Fuel: Electric.
• Controls: Phone app, wall-mountable remote, and onboard buttons; built-in timer up to 8 hours.
• Fan: Included; the heat can be turned off—or permanently disabled—so the flames run on their own.

Who It’s For

A linear fire this size usually means a gas line, venting, and a wall that can carry both—so the wall that deserves the fire often can’t have one. You need a fireplace that goes where the design calls for it, not where the mechanics of the house allow. If you’re building or remodeling and you want a five-foot fire wherever the design calls for one—including flames in July with the heat switched off—the Dimplex Ignite Ultra 60 is the one. Choose a gas linear instead and the house picks the wall for you.

What Makes It Special

One firebox installs four ways: front-facing, left-corner, right-corner, or open bay. You choose the shape at install, so the fireplace follows the room’s design instead of dictating it. It builds into a framed wall and hardwires in, so plan on finish work as part of the job.

The fire itself is adjustable in a way gas never is. The Flex-Flame feature is a simple swap between two complete flame looks—Dynamic-Fire and Multi-Fire—while the logs glow from within, pulsing in rhythm with the flames, and a crackling wood-fire sound plays underneath. The Flame Connect app adds flame colors beyond the standard set.

Turn the heat off and the flames run year-round for pennies a night. Turn it on and fan-forced warmth covers the room you’re actually in—set the furnace lower and let the fireplace warm the space where the family lives.

Possible Downsides

• The heat is supplemental, sized for the room it’s in—this is a warmer, not a furnace replacement.
• Heat delivery is fan-forced, so the fan runs whenever the heater is on.
• App control needs Wi-Fi where the fireplace is installed; without it, you’re on the remote and onboard buttons.

If you want a five-foot fire without a gas line, a chimney, or a heating season, the Ignite Ultra 60 is the right decision. The room it’s in becomes the room the house lives in.

The included rhythmic logs can be joined by optional ember beds—tumbled glass, river rocks, black rocks, or acrylic crystals—and alternate faux-wood log sets, from split logs to chunky driftwood.
