Can a TV be mounted above the firebox?
1 Answer
While the manufacturer does not outline a required height to mount a television above this fireplace, it is not recommended due to the amount of heat that is directed upwards out of the fireplace.

How many BTUs does this unit generate?
1 Answer
Zero, that is a firebox alone. It would be paired with a log set that would produce the heat.

Does this have a glass front?
1 Answer
No, this is a vent-free gas firebox and does not offer a glass front or optional glass doors, as air must be able to get in and out of the box for combustion. Please note also that this item is a firebox only and does not include a burner or log set.

from Terrell, TX asked:
November 11, 2016
Does this run on natural gas or propane?
1 Answer
Because this is just the firebox, the fuel type will be dependent on the vent free gas log set that you choose to install into it. This model can indeed use the optional Empire FBB-5 Automatic Single-Speed Blower - For Breckenridge Fireboxes.
