Where is the speed control knob for the blower located? Do any of the remote control options include control of the blower thermostat and speed control?
1 Answer
The blower option is not included with the fireplace, you must purchase the FBB4 blower separately. The knob can either then be mounted in the bottom of the fireplace behind the lower louvers or extended with the proper wiring and wall-mounted. Unfortunately, none of the remote controls available for this model can control the blower.

Diane

November 10, 2017
Does the fireplace come with a ceramic glass cover? I don't see this particular external protection for the fireplace. I thought the glass was required.
1 Answer
This particular unit does not include or require a glass front. You can add glass doors and they will be tempered glass. You may be thinking of a direct vent fireplace. Those units can only operate with the glass front installed. Additionally, the difference between tempered and ceramic glass normally boils down to BTU output of the fireplace. The more heat a fireplace can produce, the more it will require ceramic glass. Tempered glass will be used on lower BTU appliances.

Can this fireplace be vented horizontally ?

Unfortunately, no. Only direct vent gas fireplaces can be terminated horizontally. B vent models can vent horizontally through a wall, but the termination must be vertical and follow the 10/3/2 rule for above the roof terminations.

How many square feet can this fire place heat?
1 Answer
B vent fireplaces are primarily designed for ambiance, as opposed to supplemental heating. While they can supply some radiant heat to the immediate area, the air they draw from the room usually means they end up being negatively efficient.

Awesome product and service
After I placed my order I got an email with a pdf of the install manual. This was an added bonus that helped me get the frame out process started before I got the unit. The unit showed up well packaged and no damage at all. I was so happy it fit perfect and had everything I needed including the gas line which was an added surprise. Amazing company I will go to for all my fireplace needs from this point on. It had a great set of logs included with the unit that really has a great look.
Pros
- One of the few Vent B suppliers around and more than half off compared to our local supplier.

A Good Deal
This was an easy install, and the framing diagram made it easy to be ready when the unit was delivered. The only downside is the lack of info as far as what you will need, what is included, etc. A wall mount thermostat is not OPTIONAL as the manual says, you kind of need that to run the thing. I was replacing an old, stand alone heating stove, so I definately needed the OPTION of a wall mount thermostat. It is not as warm as I'd hoped, so I am ordering the blower now. Also, I did not realize there were no doors included, just a screen. After seeing the price of the doors however, the screen will be just fine.......Overall though I am pleased, and it is very beautiful. For the price it is well worth it vs. replacing my old stove with another plain ol' stove.
Pros
- Beautiful
- Easy to install
Cons
- Instructions are not real clear
- not feeling the 21,000 BTUs
- product info OPTIONS are misleading

Great quality for an affordable fireplace.
The install was easy, fired right up out of the box, and it heats our 1400 sq. ft home just fine. Not to mention it looks real nice also. Very pleased with what we got for how affordable it was. Of course is is not a top of the line fireplace, but that is not what I was expecting in this price range.Please keep in mind that we are in a southern state (New Mexico) and for only a 21K BTU fireplace, I wouldn't expect it to heat a whole house in a colder climate. But it did our house just fine this past week at 20 degrees
Pros
- Ease of install
- Safety over old wall furnace
- Looks & Styling of unit
Cons
- We didn't have it last year
