Overall Dimensions: framing opening 41 in W x 36 in H x 19-1/8 in D per current listing (Empire's Carol Rose 36 premium manual gives 41 x 36 x 19-1/4 in)

The Carol Rose 36 inch Premium Outdoor Firebox (OP36FB2MF) is the build-your-own version of Empire's Carol Rose outdoor fireplace: a stainless steel firebox with a refractory brick interior that you complete with the burner of your choice. Pair it with a 24 inch Harmony burner and the 24 inch Wildwood log set for a traditional fire, or a 24 inch Loft burner for a contemporary linear flame, then add glass doors, a weather door or a drain tray. It suits a designer or homeowner who wants control over the look of an outdoor fireplace outside the city.

What Is Included and What You Will Need

Installation Notes

This firebox is for outdoor use only and must never be installed in a building, garage or other enclosed area. Confirm framing, clearances and gas sizing with the Empire instructions for both the firebox and the burner before building. Vent-free gas appliances cannot be installed in New York City under the NYC Fuel Gas Code. We sell this model for installations outside the five boroughs where local code allows it. Book a free design consultation and we will help you choose the burner and plan the build.

Documentation

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the firebox include a burner?

No. It is the shell only. Add a 24 in Harmony burner with the Wildwood log set, or a 24 in Loft burner.

What framing opening do I need?

41 in W x 36 in H x 19-1/8 in D per current listing, plus 1 in of height if you add the drain tray. Confirm against the Empire instructions before framing.

Harmony or Loft?

Harmony with logs gives a traditional fire; Loft gives a modern linear flame on media.

Can it be installed in New York City?

No. Vent-free gas appliances are not permitted in the five boroughs.

Warranty

Empire's Carol Rose outdoor fireplace manual gives a limited five-year parts warranty on components and one year on remotes, thermostats and accessories. The previous listing described a lifetime combustion chamber warranty, which Empire's documents we reviewed do not state, so we confirm the firebox warranty with your order.
