42-Inch Outdoor Gas Fireplace

Their quality manufacturing and reputation for classic designs makes them a mainstay in the hearth industry and one of our favorites. If you're in the market for a traditional-looking fireplace designed to stand the test of time, Superior is hard to beat.
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.
