The Superior WRE4536 is a UL 127 factory-built firebox: it frames into an outdoor enclosure with 1-1\/2\" of airspace, sits directly on the floor, hides its ash cleanout in the hearth, and vents on IHP 12\" double-wall snap-lock chimney — 9.5 feet of system height minimum outdoors. The interior is a full white refractory set in your choice of stacked or herringbone pattern, and the grate, screens, ash box and ember protector are in the carton. from $5,509.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the WRE4536 if you want the tall-opening Custom-series firebox outdoors — a 30\" opening with the brick running clear to the front edge, a hidden ash cleanout and stainless facing — rather than the smaller-opening Pro series, and you would rather pick the brick pattern than accept a fixed look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e right if there is no route for at least 9.5 feet of vertical chimney above the firebox, or if the fireplace is going inside the house — this manual covers the outdoor WRE4500; the indoor Custom-series firebox is the Superior WRT4500, which shares the same openings and panel patterns. And for a chimney-free outdoor space, look at a vent-free outdoor firebox like Superior's VRE4500 series instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrame an opening 45-5\/8\" wide, 58-1\/8\" high and 28-1\/4\" deep, holding 1-1\/2\" of airspace at the back and sides — not required at the nailing flanges — with 42\" to the ceiling, 48\" clear in front, and 12\" from a perpendicular wall to the opening. The chimney runs 12\" IHP snap-lock double-wall pipe: 9.5 feet of system height minimum outdoors with at least 4 feet of pipe sections, 16 feet residential, 50 feet maximum, capped with a listed round or square chase-top termination. In front, a noncombustible hearth extension sized as the manual sets out — see Figure 6 on page 8 of the installation manual — protects a combustible floor, with the provided ember protector under the front edge. The enclosure must allow drainage and fresh-air ventilation.

This 36\" starts at from $5,509, against the 42\" at from $5,599 and the 50\" at from $5,889. The hearth extension size is set by the manual — see Figure 6 on page 8 of the installation manual — and the perpendicular-wall clearance grows from 12\" to 18\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36\" outdoor wood-burning firebox with a 30\" tall opening, panels to the front edge and a hidden ash cleanout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite refractory interior in a stacked or herringbone brick pattern — the bottom panel arrives factory-installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUL 127 factory-built fireplace that also accepts vented or vent-free gas log sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVents on IHP 12\" double-wall snap-lock chimney — 9.5 feet minimum outdoors, 16 feet residential\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips with the stainless grate, two mesh fire screens, the ash box and the ember protector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"text-transform:none\"\u003eAnswers to common questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails open style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eWhat’s included, what’s required, and what’s optional?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded in the box:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36\" x 30\" fireplace opening, panels to the front edge; Full white refractory interior panel set — White Stacked or White Herringbone (bottom panel pre-installed); Stainless steel grate, two mesh fire screens with rods, ash box and ember protector; Gas-line knockouts; UL 127 \/ CAN\/ULC-S610 listed (PFS); IHP 20-year limited warranty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRequired to complete the installation, purchased separately:\u003c\/strong\u003e Venting - IHP 12DM double-wall snap-lock chimney with firestop spacers, flashing and a listed termination; 9.5 feet of system height minimum outdoors, 16 feet residential (12HT stainless and the cold-air kit in Canada); Floor Protection - a site-built noncombustible hearth extension in front of the opening, sized as the manual sets out — see Figure 6 on page 8 of the installation manual; Outdoor Enclosure - an enclosure with adequate drainage and fresh-air ventilation for the outdoor build.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bi-fold glass doors (BDG36, black), outside air kits (AK4 sidewall \/ AK4F floor), refractory stain kits, and a gas line with a vented or vent-free gas log set — the fireplace burns wood fully without them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eWhat chimney does it need, and is it in the box?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eNo — the chimney is sold separately. It runs IHP 12\" snap-lock double-wall wood-burning pipe (12DM; the stainless 12HT is required in Canada along with the cold-air kit): outdoors the system must reach at least 9.5 feet from the base of the fireplace to the flue outlet with a minimum of 4 feet of pipe sections, a residential run needs 16 feet, and 50 feet is the maximum, capped with a listed round or square chase-top termination at least 3 feet above the roof.

The chase for the termination needs its shortest vertical side at least 30\" high with a 19\" minimum inside dimension. Hold 1-1\/2\" of airspace at the back and sides, 48\" clear in front, and 42\" to any ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eCan I burn gas logs in it instead of wood?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eYes — the fireplace is approved for a vented gas log set (ANSI Z21.60 or Z21.84) with the damper removed or locked fully open and the doors fully open, or for a vent-free set listed to ANSI Z21.11.2. A 1\/2\" black iron gas line runs in through the knockouts. Never operate an unvented log set with the chimney removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e2ded8;padding:10px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:600;cursor:pointer;text-transform:none;font-size:1em;\"\u003eWhat does it need for the floor?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 4px;\"\u003eThe firebox itself sits at 0\" on the floor — over carpet or tile it goes on a metal or wood panel its full width and depth.
