The Tahoe Premium See Through model features a built-in 24-inch Slope Glaze Vista Burner that produces rich, natural flames across a glowing ember bed. Large tempered glass viewing windows on both sides provide beautiful views of the fire from adjoining spaces, while the included Banded Brick Liner, ceramic fiber floor liner, glowing embers, and dimmer-controlled interior lighting create the authentic appearance of a traditional masonry fireplace. These premium interior finishes add impressive depth and realism whether the fireplace is providing heat or ambiance.
Designed for flexible zero-clearance installation, the Tahoe Premium 36 See Through fireplace utilizes a 4" x 6 5/8" direct vent system for safe and efficient operation.
