🎙️ Episode 45 of Behind the Build is here! ✨
We’re reimagining fireplaces with cannonballs — a modern alternative to faux gas logs that delivers sculptural drama and elevated style. Benjamin Johnston (benjaminjohnstondesign) and Erin Stetzer (erinstetzerhomes) walk through how they selected matte black cannonballs, managed scorch-mark patina, and dialed in a robust flame for a polished, architectural look.
🎥 You’ll learn:
→ why cannonballs offer a clean, contemporary fireplace aesthetic
→ how color choice and scorching affect long-term appearance
→ what to expect from burn-in time, smell, and flame adjustment
→ when to prep the fireplace before guests for peak amber flame
💡 Whether you’re designing new construction, renovating a luxury living room, or just obsessed with fireplace details, this episode shows how a small shift in material choice can completely redefine the hearth.
