Empire Carol Rose Coastal Collection Outdoor Firebox

The unit is constructed from marine-grade stainless steel, which is specifically engineered to resist the corrosive effects of salt air and high humidity found in oceanfront locations. This material choice ensures the firebox maintains its structural integrity and appearance far longer than standard steel models when exposed to harsh coastal elements.

While the vent-free design eliminates the need for a chimney or flue, you still need to follow local building codes and manufacturer clearance requirements. It offers significant flexibility for built-in installations on patios or outdoor living spaces, but you must ensure the surrounding structure is non-combustible and properly ventilated.

This product is a firebox shell, meaning it does not come with the burner or log set. You will need to select a compatible outdoor-rated burner system and log set from the Empire Carol Rose collection to complete the installation.

The stainless steel hood is designed to deflect heat away from the structure above the firebox, while the mesh curtain acts as a safety barrier to contain sparks and embers. Both are essential safety features that also help protect the interior of the firebox from debris when not in use.

No, this firebox is designed for built-in installations and must be framed with non-combustible materials like stone, brick, or concrete board. Because it is an outdoor firebox, using combustible framing materials poses a significant fire hazard.
