MAGNUM VENT FREE GAS FIREBOX

The Magnum firebox series offers Monessen's trademark angled firebox design coupled with a deep box and tall opening for maximum heating capacity. Finish your fireplace right up to the firebox with the material of your choice and add the log set you love for a perfect custom look.

See how easy it is to incorporate the timeless elegance and satisfying warmth of fire into your home with the vent free firebox series from Monessen.

Our Magnum MCUF series is available in either 36 or 42 inch sizes with your choice of standard 3D ceramic or Herringbone Firebrick. With radiant design and a wide variety of optional accessories, you can frame your fireplace right up to the firebox and finish it with a custom look.

A Monessen vent free firebox is the perfect way to display and operate your Monessen vent free log set. While our log sets can be utilized in an existing approved wood-burning fireplace (converted with a gas line), if your home does not already have an existing fireplace, a vent free firebox is an economical way to add a fireplace to your home. Installed in either your wall or a free-standing cabinet, a vent free firebox is simply the metal combustion chamber of a traditional fireplace system, without the log set and engine. You then add the vent free log set (with engine) of your choice to complete it.

Monessen offers one of the most diverse lineups of vent free gas fireboxes available, making it easy to find the right look for your home. Enjoy beautiful flames, excellent heating, and a customized look with the addition of your choice of Monessen log sets.

Because vent-free fireboxes and log sets are designed to be installed and operated without a chimney, flue, or vent, they can be installed in locations in your home where it would be impossible or cost-prohibitive to install a vented fireplace. They provide the most economical installation, only requiring a connection to a gas line.

Monessen vent free fireboxes allow for zero clearance installation, which means they may be installed flush against any combustible surface such as drywall or wood. This gives you added flexibility and helps save installation dollars when deciding where to install your fireplace, whether on an interior or exterior wall. (It is important to remember that the appliance should be sized to fit the area in which it is to be installed and must meet any additional regional or local requirements.

Monessen offers a large selection of vent-free log sets (sold separately) that are a perfect complement to your new fireplace.
