Does this firebox with logs give out any warmth to the room and can it be installed in a ceramic wood burning fireplace space?
1 Answer
This firebox does not include a burner or log set. You must purchase a
ventless gas log set separately, which, because there is no vent, will indeed provide plenty of supplemental heat. This firebox is not intended for installation inside another woodburning fireplace, but we also offer
vent-free gas fireplace inserts that can be.

Can this fireplace be mounted in a wall with a 55" TV above it (without damaging the TV)?
1 Answer
For this type of installation, I strongly suggest installation of a mantel that is at least as deep as the television to protect it. Vent free fireplaces release a large amount of heat to the area directly above them and they are prone to damaging sensitive electronics without a mantel or shelf of some sort.
