Know before you buy
No, this is a vent-free system. It is designed to be installed in a vent-free firebox or an existing masonry fireplace with the damper permanently blocked in the open position, depending on your local building codes.
The burner uses internal ceramic beads to diffuse the gas flow, which creates a more natural, flickering flame pattern rather than a uniform, artificial-looking burn.
Yes, the included remote control features a variable flame height setting. This allows you to adjust the intensity of the fire and the heat output to suit your comfort level.
Yes, once you set your desired temperature on the remote, the system will modulate the flame height to maintain that specific heat level in your room.
This unit is fuel-specific. You must select the version compatible with your home's gas supply—either natural gas or liquid propane—at the time of purchase.
Refractory material is highly durable and heat-resistant, allowing for intricate, hand-painted details that mimic the look and texture of real wood logs while standing up to high temperatures.
