Overall Dimensions: 33.9 in W x 35.8 in H x 21.3 in D (860 x 910 x 540 mm, EcoSmart Heritage 26SS spec sheet)

The EcoSmart Heritage 26SS is the smallest of EcoSmart's three Heritage built-in fireplaces, a zero-clearance bioethanol firebox that frames into wood or metal studs and gives the look of a traditional hearth with ceramic logs on a grate behind an integrated glass screen. It burns e-NRG bioethanol in a stainless BK5 burner, so there is no gas line, flue, chimney, vent or electrical connection, and the zinc-sealed, hi-temp powder-coated black steel body is rated for indoor or covered outdoor use.

Installation Notes

Secure the firebox in a fixed position before use, and keep the opening uncovered: it is not designed for doors and must stay open for air. Do not install it beside wallpaper, laminate, veneer or other heat-sensitive finishes, do not place real wood or other combustible media in it, and follow EcoSmart's mantel and finishing clearances. Use it only in a room of at least 2,472 cu ft. Book a free design consultation and we will help you plan the framing and finish wall.
