Does this firebox with logs give out any warmth to the room and can it be installed in a ceramic wood burning fireplace space?

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.

Where can I find doors and gas logs for this unit?

As this is a vent free firebox, meaning the appliance you select for the inside would need to take in air from the room and release water vapor back into the room, there would be no doors. For assistance selecting an appropriate gas log appliance, please use our tool here.

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.
