Overview

An outdoor living space with a gas supply can take this zero clearance insert, which burns gas across a sloped stainless H-burner under a bed of reflective crystal glass. The firebox panels are mirror finish stainless and a drain tray is included.

Reflective crystal glass and mirror finish panels give a bright flame display, and the stainless parts are built for outdoor exposure. A propane conversion kit is in the box. The limitation is paperwork: the power source and weight rows disagree with the copy, and some assembly is needed.

Who it's for

Builders of outdoor fireplaces with a gas supply and a prepared opening will use the zero clearance insert. The battery only assists the igniter, and the gas valve is manual. Those who want a log look, or a ready-to-run freestanding unit, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Stainless steel construction
  • Reflective crystal glass media
  • Propane conversion kit included
  • Vent-free, no chimney
Cons
  • Weight and power rows conflict
  • Some assembly required
  • Manual gas control only

Performance notes

Gas feeds the sloped H-burner and the manual valve sets the flame, with a battery-assisted piezo igniter to light it. The crystal glass reflects the flame, and the mirror finish panels repeat it on every side. A stainless draw screen barrier is listed, along with a drain tray to direct moisture.
