Dimplex Ignite Quest
A taller firebox. Glowing logs. An evening you can make your own.
The decision
Want the logs to be part of the view?
Dimplex Ignite Quest deserves a place on your shortlist when you want the proportions of a traditional firebox with glowing logs, adjustable flames and phone control. Its taller opening gives the log arrangement room to become part of the view. Choose it for that combination, especially in a seating area where the fireplace is a focal point.
A good fit for your room if…
You want a substantial fireplace-shaped feature, enjoy adjusting the evening glow and can accommodate an 18-inch-deep framed opening. The supplied log set, remote and plug kit give the project a clear starting package.
Consider another direction if…
Your priority is a very wide, low flame beneath a television, or you are trying to work within a shallow existing wall. Compare the finished proportions and construction scope before choosing by nominal width alone.
See the fire
The logs are part of the attraction.
What to watch in the flame film
Look at the space between the logs and the flame behind them, then imagine that view from your usual chair. The illuminated logs and pulsating ember bed give the display another layer below the flame. This is where Quest earns its place: the fireplace still has something to look at when your eye moves away from the flame itself.
The 30-inch model includes an eight-piece log set. Have the installer use the recommended arrangement: the glowing logs have electrical connections, so changing the number of connected logs also changes the wiring setup. Choose the arrangement before the glass goes back in.
Make it your own
Choose the glow for the evening.
| Display setting | What you see | When it suits the room |
|---|---|---|
| Flames, logs and embers | Six flame themes with the logs and embers illuminated. | Choose this when you want the complete fire presentation. |
| Midnight | Flames on; logs and embers off. | Let the flame take the attention with less glow below it. |
| Dusk | Flames off; logs and embers on. | Keep a quieter log-and-ember display while you read or talk. |
| Custom | A personalized setting configured through Flame Connect. | Save a combination you enjoy instead of rebuilding it each evening. |
Flame speed, brightness, overhead lighting and sound have their own controls. Crackling sound can be adjusted or switched off. Leave the sound off for conversation, then add it when you want the crackle to be part of the evening.
Controls and comfort
Keep the remote. Add the app when it helps.
Bluetooth remote, Wi-Fi app
The included multifunction Bluetooth remote and onboard controls handle everyday operation. Flame Connect adds saved custom moods and a custom heat schedule; its setup requires the fireplace to be within Wi-Fi range. You can enjoy Quest without making a phone the only way to turn it on.
One practical distinction: the manual lists five normal heat levels, but the set temperature is displayed in the app. If you want to see that number rather than use the remote’s indicator positions, plan the Wi-Fi connection before closing the wall. The one-to-eight-hour sleep timer is useful when you want the fireplace to switch itself off later.
For atmosphere in a warm room
Run the display with heat off, or disable heat while retaining the other display controls. Dusk, Midnight and the sound-off setting give you several ways to reduce the activity without leaving the firebox dark.
For supplemental warmth
Comfort$aver adjusts the heater and fan around the thermostat setting. The supplied cord kit is for 120-volt operation at 1,500 watts; hardwired 240-volt operation provides 2,500 watts. The wider Quest models do not automatically mean more heating output. Choose the connection for the room with your installer.
Heat Boost runs at maximum heat for 20 minutes before returning to level five. After heating is switched off, the manual specifies a 20-minute cool-down period, so a continuing fan is not necessarily a fault.
The room plan
Choose the view before the wall is finished.
Front-facing
The fire is framed by the surround, with one principal viewing direction. Mark the proposed opening on the wall, then look at it from your usual seat before committing to the surround. Dimplex recommends mounting the bottom no more than 40 inches above the floor for an optimized flame view; that is a viewing recommendation, not an instruction to install every fireplace at that height.
Corner or bay
Quest also supports left-corner, right-corner and bay arrangements. The manual specifies a separately sold left/right bay trim kit for open-sided installation. Choose the visible sides before framing and have us confirm the matching trim rather than assuming supplied side glass makes every finishing component included.
The 30-inch Quest’s overall dimensions are 30⅝ inches wide × 36⅝ inches high × 17½ inches deep. Its framed opening is different: 30¾ × 37⅛ × 18 inches. Keep the fireplace at least 24 inches below the ceiling. Use the exact model drawing, preserve the air paths and plan the top-right rear electrical entry; the firebox cannot support the surrounding construction.
For a television, artwork or mantel above, follow that item’s own temperature and mounting requirements as well as the fireplace guide. Give your installer the television or mantel requirements before setting the fireplace height.
| Part of the order | Included | Resolve separately |
|---|---|---|
| Display package | Glowing logs, tumbled glass embers, gravel and glass chunks. | Finished surround and the chosen viewing arrangement. |
| Controls and connection | Bluetooth remote, magnetic wall mount, batteries and 120-volt plug kit. | Wi-Fi for app use; electrical work for the chosen supply. |
| Glass and mounting | Front and side glazing, reflective glass and the listed mounting/finishing components. | Open-sided trim kit when required; framing and service access. |
Ask us to check the complete order against the front, corner or bay arrangement before installation begins.
The Hearth Outpost view
Our take on Dimplex Ignite Quest.
We like Dimplex Ignite Quest for a room where the fireplace should read as a substantial hearth, with a layered log bed rather than a thin band of flame. Its strongest appeal is the combination: a taller view, illuminated logs and an adjustable evening display. The app and sound add choice, but they are not reasons to overlook the wall depth or buy a wider size than the room needs. Start with the view from your chair, then settle the installation arrangement.

Choose your fireplace
Give the fire the right place in the room.
Dimplex Ignite Quest comes in 30-inch, 36-inch, 42-inch, 48-inch widths. These are built-in electric fireplaces, not freestanding stove packages. Each width needs its own opening dimensions; the taller firebox form remains central to the choice.
If the project starts with an existing traditional hearth, also consider Dimplex Revillusion fireboxes. If the room calls for a wider linear feature, explore Dimplex Ignite Bold. Those are different product decisions, with their own flame presentation and installation requirements.

Speak to an Expert
Good questions
A clearer choice.
Does Quest need water or a gas line?
No. Ignite Quest is electric and uses the Multi-Fire flame effect with illuminated logs. It is not an Optimyst water-vapor appliance.
Can I enjoy the fireplace without its app?
Yes. The included Bluetooth remote and onboard controls operate it. The app adds custom moods and scheduling; plan Wi-Fi if those features matter to you.
Is the corner or bay trim included?
The Quest manual lists the left/right bay trim kit as a separate optional accessory. Have the exact open-sided arrangement checked before ordering.
Does a wider Quest provide more heat?
The documented electrical ratings remain 1,500 watts at 120 volts and 2,500 watts at 240 volts across the listed sizes. Choose the width for the view and the electrical arrangement for the planned supplemental heat.
