Majestic Fortress 36" Indoor/Outdoor See-Through Gas Fireplace
A 36" by 30" viewing area faces your living room on one side and your patio on the other. The Majestic Fortress 36" is a see-through indoor/outdoor direct vent gas fireplace with a stainless steel outdoor face: 56,000 BTU/hr on natural gas or propane, an eight-piece log set over three burners, two halogen accent lights, anti-reflective glass, safety screens for both sides, and a touch screen remote included. It is priced from $10,649, with a Limited Lifetime warranty on the body, firebox and heat exchanger.
Choose the Fortress 36" if you want one traditional log fire you can see from inside the house and from outside it, lit for ambiance by its accent lights. The remote handles the flame, the thermostat and the lights, and the outdoor side has its own glass door and stainless steel screen.
It is not right for you if you want a long, low linear flame. With a viewing area 30" tall by 36" wide, the Fortress 36" gives the room and the patio a tall, traditional view of the logs.

What venting does the Fortress 36" need, and is it in the box?
Vent pipe is sold separately, and our sales team builds the vent package for your run. The Fortress uses Hearth & Home Technologies DVP direct vent pipe on its own vent, with at least 24 in. of vertical pipe off the fireplace before any elbow and up to three 90-degree elbows, ending in a horizontal or vertical termination, never inside a screened porch. It is also approved with a Hearth & Home Technologies power vent on SLP pipe, and each power vent needs its wire harness, ordered separately.
Where can the Fortress 36" be installed?
In an exterior wall, with the indoor side in the room and the stainless steel outdoor side outdoors. It sits on wood flooring or on a metal, wood or non-combustible panel the full width and depth of the fireplace, never directly on carpet or tile, and a non-combustible hearth extension protects the floor in front unless the fireplace is raised at least 3 in. It is also approved as an OEM installation in a manufactured home in the U.S. or in a mobile home.
Can the Fortress 36" run on propane?
Yes. Every Fortress is built for natural gas. Choose Propane above and the LP conversion kit is added to your order, and a qualified service technician fits it. It is rated 56,000 BTU/hr high on either gas, with a low of 38,000 on natural gas and 44,000 on propane.
Does it come with a remote?
Yes. The touch screen remote is included and runs the fire on and off, the flame height, the thermostat, the accent lights and the Cold Climate setting. A Wi-Fi module for the IntelliFire app and wireless wall switches are available below the cart.
