Product Description

Superior WRE4542 overview

The Superior WRE4542 is the 42-inch WRE4500 Custom Series fireplace: an appliance-grade stainless steel wood burner listed for both indoor and outdoor installation. It works well for covered patios, outdoor kitchens and sunrooms, and its 51-1/4" framing width suits a typical outdoor fireplace wall.

Superior designed the WRE4500 Series so the refractory reaches all the way to the face of the 30" opening, with no visible sheet metal. You pick stacked or herringbone panels. The stainless facing, grate and screen mesh are standard, along with a hidden ash cleanout, so it is ready to burn once vented and finished.

  • Indoor and outdoor approved
  • Refractory panels extend to the front edge, no sheet metal in view

Venting & installation

Use Superior's 12" wood chimney with this unit; see the venting recommendation on this page. It should be installed per the manufacturer's installation manual and local codes by a qualified installer.

What to order with it

Select stacked or herringbone refractory, then add 12" Superior chimney parts and any optional doors or screens.

FAQ

Can I put it in a sunroom now and outdoors later?
It is approved for both indoor and outdoor installation; the chimney and clearances must follow the manual either way.

Stacked or herringbone?
Stacked reads as a classic running brick; herringbone gives a more decorative, old-world pattern.
