How delivery works

DeliveryHow it works

Because most of our products are huge, it’s difficult for us to keep stock of all of them. For this reason, we deliver a lot of our products directly from our suppliers and manufacturers, to offer you a great price and a fresh braai and a warm fireplace.

PRIORITY DELIVERYWe will make sure you are kept in the loop at every single step of the way and we will have your order processed as a priority. Tracking number included.

FREE DELIVERYLook, it’s free but we are unable to provide an exact time or take specific delivery requests as we are at the mercy of our suppliers. We still do our best to deliver as quickly as possible and in most cases we are much quicker than the stated turn around time.

Mail us for any queries.

THE CONTEMPORARY, UP CLOSE

Click, flame, warmth.
No chimney.

Press the piezo ignition and the flames rise from the black ash on the burner, with white stones around it. An oxygen depletion pilot is part of the safety system, and there is no flue or chimney to build. The body is stainless steel with heat-resistant coatings, and at full flame it uses up to 0.84 kg of LPG an hour.

Not for bedrooms, bathrooms, toilets or saunas.

MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME

Family night, with the fire on.

Everyone on the couch, blankets out and the lights turned low. The long line of flame becomes the centre of the room, the stories come out, and nobody is in a hurry to go anywhere. Movie night can wait a while.

The feature wall, shelves, couches, rug, coffee table and décor are not included. A registered gas installer builds in the fireplace and connects the gas.

A LITTLE PRACTICAL THINKING

Plan the wall, the room and the gas.

THE WALL

Made for a wall recess.

It is built into a single-sided wall recess, supported by a load-bearing lintel. It is flueless, so there is no chimney to build.

THE ROOM

Choose the room with care.

Chad-O-Chef suggests it for rooms up to 466 m³. It must not go in a bedroom, bathroom, toilet or sauna, and no TV or other electrical equipment may sit above it.

THE GAS

LPG or natural gas.

Chad-O-Chef makes it for both, so tell us your gas type before you order. A registered gas installer for your gas type connects it, and a qualified gas installer services it at least once every two years.

Plan the cut-out, recess and lintel together.

The frame is 1,200 × 500 mm and the wall cut-out 1,090 × 450 mm, with a recess 200 to 250 mm deep. Your registered gas installer checks the wall, the lintel and the clearances on site.

GOOD TO KNOW

Plan your setup.

Read your instruction manual before you plan the installation.

Read the instruction manual

What is included?

The Contemporary fireplace in the frame and back you choose, with the burner, the decorative stones and the instruction manual. The wall recess and lintel, the gas pipework and the installation are not included.

Which frame and back can I choose?

The stainless-steel frame is standard, and a matte black frame is available on request. Behind the flame, choose a plain stainless-steel back or a Midnight Mirror back. Ask us to confirm your combination before you order.

Which gas does it use?

LPG or natural gas. Tell us your gas type before you order. At full flame it uses up to 0.84 kg of LPG an hour, and the gas connects at an 8 mm compression fitting.

What size room is it for?

Chad-O-Chef suggests it for rooms up to 466 m³, depending on insulation, climate and the room itself, and gives a maximum gas input of 11.4 kW. If your room is smaller than the minimum size in the manual, your installer must design permanent ventilation.

Does it need a flue or chimney?

No. It is an indoor flueless gas fireplace, so there is no flue or chimney to build. Check the room rules below before you choose where it goes.

Which rooms can it go in?

It must not go in a bedroom, bathroom, toilet or sauna. No TV or other electrical equipment may go above it, and Chad-O-Chef recommends 500 mm between the fireplace and an air vent.

How is it installed?

It is built into a single-sided wall recess, 200 to 250 mm deep, supported by a load-bearing lintel. The wall cut-out is 1,090 × 450 mm. A registered gas installer for your gas type must install and connect it.

How much clear space does it need?

To combustible materials, keep at least 100 mm at the sides (500 mm to curtains and fabric), 800 mm to the ceiling, 100 mm to the floor, carpet included, and 1,000 mm to combustible furniture in front. A shelf above it must be heat-resistant masonry, 500 mm above the top of the fireplace. Your installer follows the full manual.

Which burner finish can I choose?

Black ash on the burner, with white stones around it, is standard. Black coals or fire glass are the alternatives: tell us which one you want before you order.

How do I light and look after it?

Light it with the piezo spark ignition. An oxygen depletion pilot is part of its safety system. Have a qualified gas installer service it at the first sign of a fault, and at least once every two years.

What does the guarantee cover?

Chad-O-Chef gives a two-year guarantee, subject to its terms. Ask us for the full terms.

Can you help with my setup?

Yes. Send a photo and measurements of your wall for a product and configuration quote. We do not install, so book an independent gas installer, registered for your gas type.
