How large of an area will this unit heat outdoors? Also, is a blower needed and if so, do you have any that have very minimal noise?
1 Answer
This product is not intended for outdoor use and you may see rapid oxidation of certain components if installed outdoors. Additionally, this is a firebox only, so the heat output would be dependent on the gas logs installed. Please consider a unit designed to be used outdoors like this one

from Hilo, HI asked:
April 20, 2020
Can we use fire glass with this? What else does it require?
1 Answer
Since this is simply a firebox and would not include any gas controls that would be included with a separately-purchased ventless gas burner, you would have to order a more contemporary ventless gas burner separately.

Fred
from Manasquan, NJ asked:
January 26, 2020
I have an existing log set that requires a minimum depth of 14". The VFD32 lists its depth, with brick, at 13 5/16". Is there a tolerance built in that would allow for my log set to fit?
1 Answer
No, unfortunately, there is no way to increase/decrease these spacial requirements from the manufacturer. Your only option for a VFD32 firebox would be to go without a liner.

January 20, 2020
My fireplace is 23" tall x 30" wide x 20" deep. Would this VFD32FB0F fit flush?
1 Answer
The Breckenridge fireboxes are not meant for installation inside an existing fireplace. For an existing fireplace such as yours, we would recommend a vent-free gas fireplace insert. Please see the Empire Innsbrook Vent-Free Gas Fireplace Insert series.

What else do I need to complete this?
1 Answer
You will need a ventless gas log set to complete a vent-free gas fireplace system. While the brick liner shown is not included, it is not required for installation/operation. There are several options for a brick liner, and any ventless gas log set that fits can be used within this box. We have plenty of options, please see our full selection here: Ventless Gas Logs. You may also add an optional blower to this box if desired.

The framing dimensions of this fireplace are 33 3/4" H x 35 1/2" W x 16 1/4" D. This unit does not come with a log set, so in order to utilize a propane tank (minimum 100lbs), you will need to purchase a propane vent free log set.
