Our verdict

A stainless outdoor natural gas fireplace with a high-output burner and remote-ready controls. The listing conflicts on whether a log and remote are included, and a log set is required.

Overview

Empire Comfort Systems OP42FP32MN is a stainless steel vent-free gas fireplace for outdoor installation, with a Harmony burner and concealed but reachable controls.

A traditional stainless look and a strong burner make it a ready centerpiece for an outdoor room, with simple installation claimed. The limits are a listing that disagrees with itself about logs and the remote, and a framing size that has to be planned in advance.

Who it's for

Homeowners building out a patio who have natural gas and want a vent-free stainless unit. Buyers who need exact box contents should confirm with the seller before ordering.
