Description
The Superior WRT4550 50 Inch Traditional Wood Fireplace with Refractory Panels is the largest model in the series, offering an impressive open-hearth design that brings the timeless beauty of a masonry fireplace into spacious living areas. Featuring a massive smoke dome for reliable draft performance, this fireplace provides an unobstructed view of the fire while enhancing overall operation.
