A fire has a way of anchoring a whole room, and at nearly two metres wide, the Rinnai EL1800 does it with real presence. Stretch the flames, glow and crackle of a genuine fire across a proper feature wall, and skip the wood, ash and flueing entirely.

That wide expanse of angled glass is where Truburn Flame Technology earns its name, carrying high-definition video of real wood-fire flames, smoke and sparks the full width of the unit. A glowing log bed lit from within recreates the char of burning timber, and high-quality speakers fill in the crackle, so the effect holds up across the whole span.

At this size, the customisation really shows: four flame styles, nine log colours, nine fuel bed colours and adjustable brightness give you a genuinely wall-sized canvas to play with, and 'Favourite' mode saves the exact look you settle on for one-touch recall.

Heating comes from a 3kW output with thermostatic control and a cool blow function for comfort in any season. The 7-day programmable timer with adaptive smart heating keeps pace with your week, an hourly timer takes care of automatic shut-off, and open window detection quietly adjusts the heat to save you wasting it. Control it by voice, through a smart device, or with the remote.

For all its scale, the EL1800 stays easy to fit. No vents or flues means a Front, Corner or Panoramic install to suit the space, with optional 25mm slim trim, 50mm wide trim and an Ambient Light Kit available separately to finish it off. Backed by a 5 year parts and labour warranty.

Dimensions: 586mm H x 1806mm W x 513mm D.
