Product Description

The SF-OD43 from SimpliFire

The SimpliFire Forum 43" (SF-OD43) is an indoor/outdoor linear electric fireplace with a 43-3/4" W x 15-3/8" H view: UV-resistant driftwood logs over black embers and clear crystal media, four flame colors, and 13 ember-bed colors. It produces no heat, so it runs on a covered patio in any season, and its weather-resistant components and attached GFCI cord are built for the outdoors. from $2,259.

Choose it for a covered patio, porch, or three-season room where you want the look of a fire without the heat — built to shed weather and run on a GFCI circuit.

It is not a heater — the Forum makes no heat at all — and it is not waterproof: it must be installed in a framed, sealed wall with a drainage path, not left fully exposed to standing water.

Specifications

The SF-OD43 frames into a 18-1/2" H x 46-1/4" W x 9" D opening with zero clearance to combustibles on all sides. It draws just 36 W on a 120V GFCI circuit, and excess water drains through weep holes in the base — build a drain path, or add the optional drain pan.

How the SF-OD43 compares

The Forum comes in 43" and 55" (from $2,579). Same weatherproof build and no-heat flame — size it to your wall.

Features

  • A 43-3/4" W x 15-3/8" H view with UV-resistant driftwood logs, black embers, and clear crystal media built for the outdoors
  • Flame effect only, so it runs in spring, summer, or fall without adding heat to a covered patio
  • Four flame colors and 13 ember-bed colors from push buttons or the included remote
  • Weather-resistant components with a GFCI power cord; installs into a framed exterior wall with a built-in drainage path
  • Built-in for a frameless look or recessed with the included self-trimming front

Answers to common questions

Can the Forum go outside?

Yes — it's designed for indoor/outdoor use with weather-resistant components and UV-resistant logs. It installs into a framed exterior wall or bump-out with sealed joints and a drainage path, and runs on a GFCI circuit. It sheds moderate water but isn't waterproof, so it shouldn't sit fully exposed.

Does it put out any heat?

No. The Forum is a flame-only appliance — 36 W, no heater — so it looks like a fire without warming a covered patio. That's by design for outdoor and three-season spaces.

How does it handle rain and drainage?

Excess water drains through weep holes in the base. The builder provides a path for that water to exit the structure; an optional drain pan (SF-OD**-DP) can be added for extra protection. All joints must be sealed during installation.

What’s included, what’s required, and what’s optional?
  • Included in the box: The SF-OD43 Forum firebox with UV-resistant driftwood logs, black embers, clear crystal media, self-trimming front, GFCI power cord, and multi-function remote (2 AAA).
  • Required to complete the installation, purchased separately: A GFCI-protected 120V circuit at the opening (plug the attached cord in, or hardwire); A framed exterior wall or bump-out with sealed joints and a drainage path per the manual.
  • Optional: A matching drain pan and ShadowGlo birch or timber log sets are available — the Forum runs complete without them.
Does buying online affect my SimpliFire warranty?

No. And we handle it for you: from registering your warranty to filing any claim directly with SimpliFire, so you're never chasing paperwork.
