Product Description

Superior VRE3242 42" Outdoor Vent-Free overview

The VRE3242 is Superior's Pro Series outdoor traditional fireplace, built around rugged 304 stainless steel on every weather-exposed surface. It arrives as a complete fire with detailed charred-oak style ceramic fiber logs, a heavy-duty stainless grate and burner, and a concealed gas valve.

Battery-operated electronic ignition and a wireless remote mean no wiring is required, though an optional AC power adapter kit is available for battery-free use. Tall, dancing yellow flames, stainless fire screens and a choice of stacked or herringbone refractory liner and floor complete the look for an outdoor kitchen or patio.
