This vent-free firebox does not include a burner or log set, so there is no BTU rating, as that will be determined by the log set you choose to install inside it (purchased separately). The log set and burner configuration you choose will also dictate whether or not a remote control is included.

The inside area of this firebox measures 36" wide in the front, 29 3/16" wide in the back, 16 1/2" deep and 24" high in the front and 20" high in the back. These dimensions decrease a bit if you add an optional decorative liner, so certain log sets will not fit if you add one of those kits.

Does this unit come with all of the mechanicals necessary for gas and electric hook up?
1 Answer
This is a full vent-free gas firebox ready for installation in a framed enclosure, but please note there is no burner or log set included with this box. You can use any ventless gas log set that fits inside -- this box takes most 24" sets. As for the electricity, the box has an optional blower fan that must be purchased separately, if desired, and you would need to run the electricity to the framed enclosure for installation.

July 2, 2017
Our property sits at approximately 6800 feet elevation. Will this model perform well at that elevation using propane gas?
1 Answer
If you were to purchase and install this firebox and any number of corresponding ventless gas logs that would work with this firebox, the gas log set would likely not perform well. Ventless gas systems will not operate without issue at elevations above 4500'. A much better model to consider is the Empire DVD36FP70N Tahoe Deluxe Direct Vent Fireplace.

from CA asked:

Are glass doors included?
1 Answer
This unit does not offer glass doors as an option. Because it is vent free, it requires room air for combustion, which glass doors would inhibit. However, there are several styles of operable screen doors in the accessory section for this item. They are able to be added separately to enhance the look of the unit.
