Superior VRE6036 36" Masonry Outdoor Vent-Free Firebox
SuperiorVRE6036 Overview
The Superior VRE6036 is the 36-inch Signature Series outdoor masonry vent-free firebox, the flagship of the VRE6000 lineup. Designed for large outdoor applications, this insulated firebox features an industry-leading 30-inch tall opening height. The defining feature is the REQUIRED Mosaic Masonry brick interior, sold as a separate component and chosen by the customer at order time from sixteen options: four colors (Ivory, Midnight, Slate Grey, Warm Red) crossed with four patterns (Full Stacked, Full Herringbone, Split Stacked, Split Herringbone). Mosaic Masonry bricks are kiln-fired for an authentic hand-laid masonry appearance. Standard equipment includes stainless steel facing and mesh screens.
This is a FIREBOX ONLY - a vent-free gas log set must be ordered separately. Approved for any ANSI Z21.97-listed outdoor vent-free log set (Mega-Flame OD recommended). The starting price shown ($7,727) already includes the cheapest Mosaic Masonry interior choice (Full Stacked, $3,258). Other mosaic patterns add a delta to the base price. Approved for OUTDOOR USE ONLY per ANSI Z21.91. Note: the VRE6000 vent-free firebox does not offer the Mosaic-specific bi-fold door that's available for the wood-burning WRE6000 counterpart - the door isn't compatible with vent-free operation. OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
Firebox only - log set required separately. This product ships as a firebox shell with refractory liner, stainless steel facing, and mesh screens. You must order a vent-free gas log set separately to complete the installation. Mega-Flame OD outdoor vent-free log sets (catalog page 136) and Dual-Burner outdoor vent-free log sets (page 137) are approved options. Contact Fireplace Insider for log set selection assistance.
Outdoor use only - vent-free jurisdictional restrictions apply. This firebox is listed for outdoor application only and is not approved for indoor installation. Additionally, vent-free gas appliances (indoor or outdoor) are prohibited or restricted in some jurisdictions including California, Massachusetts, and certain municipalities. Verify local code compliance before purchase.
