The Empire Breckenridge Premium 36" Peninsula Vent-Free Firebox brings the appeal of a traditional fireplace to open-concept living spaces. Its three-sided peninsula design provides views of the fire from multiple angles, making it an excellent choice for room dividers and custom fireplace installations.
Designed for use with properly sized, ANSI Z21.11.2-certified vent-free gas log heaters, this 36-inch ventless peninsula firebox offers flexibility in burner and log set selection. The firebox includes a traditional banded brick liner and is available in flush-front or louvered-front configurations to complement different interior styles.
Three standard black hoods and a junction box are included. Optional accessories, such as a black porcelain liner, decorative louvers, blower kit, and accent lighting, allow further customization. A compatible vent-free gas burner and log set are required and sold separately.
