Know before you buy
Yes, the CrossFire series is designed to be compatible with both traditional masonry fireplaces and factory-built, zero-clearance fireplace units.
Measure the width of the front opening, the rear width, and the depth of your fireplace floor. You should select a set size that allows for at least a few inches of clearance on all sides to ensure proper airflow and a realistic look.
Match Lighted is the most basic manual option, while SPKI and RMCIE provide standing pilots for easier ignition. The VEI option is an electronic ignition system that eliminates the standing pilot, allowing you to light the fire via remote control only when needed.
Yes, the logs are designed with a reversible bark and split-wood pattern. This allows you to customize the aesthetic of your fire by choosing which side of the log faces forward during installation.
The logs are constructed from high-heat resistant cement reinforced with steel rods, making them extremely durable. They are also finished with ceramic staining specifically formulated to resist fading even when exposed to temperatures exceeding 2300 degrees Fahrenheit.
No, the burner system is specific to the gas type you choose at the time of purchase. You must select either natural gas or propane to ensure the burner and safety valves are correctly calibrated for your home's fuel source.
