Programmable thermostats come in handy, but central heating doesn't provide the same cozy warmth of a gas fireplace. The Programmable Fireplace Thermostat/Remote adds the convenience of a programmable thermostat to your gas fireplace. Program the system to turn on at specific times on specific days of the week, or set the timer to enjoy the fireplace for a limited time. You'll even be able to use the included RF remote control to manage the unit from up to 20 feet away!
