Superior: VRT3142 (Vent-Free Fireplace)

A vent-free firebox that gives gas logs a real fireplace to sit in.

Quick Facts

• Fuel: Gas, set by the vent-free log set you choose.

Who It’s For

Building a fireplace usually means a chimney, and that isn’t possible in every room. You need a firebox that frames in without one. The Superior VRT3142 is for the new build or remodel that wants a 42-inch fireplace for vent-free gas logs. Vent-free means no chimney and no flue, so the heat stays in the room.

What Makes It Special

It is a heat-circulating firebox with a clean face and a hooded tall opening, with refractory liners or fiber liners and a black floor.

Blower kits, an outside air kit, and twin-pane screen doors are optional. Superior backs it with a 20-year limited warranty.

Possible Downsides

• The logs are sold separately. Choose a Superior vent-free gas log set to go in it.
• Vent-free is not allowed everywhere. Check local codes before you plan the room.

If you want a fireplace for gas logs without building a chimney, the Superior VRT3142 is the right decision. The room gets a real fireplace without a chimney on the roof.
