Bring a striking, contemporary flame display to your outdoor living space with the Empire Carol Rose 48" See-Through Outdoor Linear Gas Fireplace. Part of Empire's Carol Rose Coastal Collection, this stainless steel fireplace features an open, double-sided design that lets you enjoy the flames from both sides of an outdoor dividing wall. Its sleek linear profile makes it an inviting focal point for patios, outdoor entertaining areas, and other properly ventilated outdoor installations.
At the heart of the fireplace is a concealed linear gas burner delivering up to 55,000 BTU/hr. Flames rise through a bed of decorative crushed glass, while integrated multicolor LED lighting illuminates the glass from below. The combination creates a vibrant display that can be customized with seven LED colors, adjustable brightness, and automatic color-changing modes.
Designed for convenient manual operation, the Carol Rose See-Through Fireplace features push-button electronic ignition powered by an included AA battery and a three-stage flame control with High, Medium, and Low settings. A tilt-up control cover maintains the fireplace's streamlined appearance, while two included glass wind deflector panels help shield the flames from wind. Optional taller glass deflectors are available for installations exposed to stronger breezes.
Available in Natural Gas (OLL48SP12SN) and Propane (OLL48SP12SP) configurations, this 48-inch outdoor fireplace combines stainless steel construction, contemporary styling, and adjustable lighting for a distinctive two-sided outdoor fire feature.
Important: Decorative crushed glass is required for operation and is sold separately. The 48-inch fireplace requires eight 1-square-foot packages of approved crushed glass media. Choose from Empire's Clear Frost, Bronze Reflective, or Copper Reflective crushed glass options.
