SuperiorWRT3036 Overview
The Superior WRT3036 is the 36-inch radiant clean-face Pro Series wood-burning fireplace in the WRT/WCT3000 lineup, a step up from the Merit-tier WRT/WCT2000 with realistic white refractory stacked panels, hidden screen pockets, easy-access damper, and gas-log-ready features. Comes with full-length nailing flanges, drywall stops, and dual-access pre-wired junction boxes for blower or accessory wiring. Fully insulated firebox.
This is a true wood-burning fireplace, approved for use with seasoned cordwood, vented gas log sets (ANSI Z21.60/Z21.84), or vent-free gas log heaters (ANSI Z21.11.2 with required IHP hood). Vents through 8-inch IHP wood-burning chimney (8DM standard or 8HT high-temp; Canada requires 8HT). Note: blower kits are NOT compatible with WRT radiant models; if heat circulation is a priority consider the matching WCT louvered version. Listed by PFS Corporation to UL 127.
Chimney sold separately. This fireplace requires a Superior wood-burning chimney system. Smaller models (WRT/WCT 2000 and 3000 series) use 8-inch IHP chimney (8DM standard or 8HT high-temp; Canada requires 8HT). Larger models (WRT 3500/4500/6000/8000 series) use 12-inch IHP chimney (12DM standard or 12HT high-temp; Canada requires 12HT). Chimney sections, elbows, terminations, and roof flashing must be ordered separately. Contact Fireplace Insider for chimney sizing assistance.
