The manual allows outdoor use with walls on all sides and no overhead cover, a partial enclosure with limited side walls, or overhead cover with at least 30 percent of the perimeter permanently open. Do not burn wood in this firebox. This is an outdoor-only vent-free system, and the approval path in New York City must be confirmed before you buy: the NYC Fuel Gas Code and Department of Buildings rules govern outdoor gas appliances.
