Their 42-inch vent-free outdoor gas fireplace with electronic ignition is a great example of why we love their products.

The housing is built from weather-resistant stainless steel for lasting utility, and the firebox features a refractory interior to project heat outward. Capping off its features is the included remote, making it easy and convenient to enjoy.
