At 44 inches wide, 35 inches tall, and 19 inches deep, it's sized to anchor a room, not just warm it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this firebox apart from more restrictive options is its universal compatibility. It accepts any certified vent-free burner and log set, which means you're choosing a platform, not just a box. Prefer aged brick for a classic hearth feel? Stacked limestone for something more contemporary? The Breckenridge is compatible with all six available brick liner styles — Aged Brick, Banded Brick, Traditional Brick, Stacked Limestone, Black Porcelain, and Stainless Steel — so the interior aesthetic is genuinely yours to define.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor those who want more than radiant heat, the firebox is designed to accommodate an optional FBB5 single-speed blower, and it's also compatible with the SCV-1 variable speed control kit if you'd prefer more nuanced airflow management. The circulating firebox design actively moves warm air into the room rather than simply radiating it from the front — a meaningful distinction in rooms with real square footage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe louvered face isn't purely decorative. It plays a functional role in the circulating design, and it gives the unit a clean, intentional look that works with traditional and transitional interiors alike. Inside, hem-bent seams and a curtain fire screen reflect the kind of manufacturing attention you'd expect at this price point. The included standard hood and junction box mean you're not hunting for accessories before installation can begin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation framing dimensions come in at 35.75 H x 44.5 W x 18.75 inches deep. Minimum hearth dimensions without a liner are 39.87 W x 23.56 H x 16.56 D inches; with a liner installed, that shifts to 38.12 W x 23.56 H x 15.31 D inches. The firebox opening itself measures 24.25 inches high by 40 inches wide by 14.125 inches deep — generous proportions that let a quality log set do its visual work. Maximum BTU output is 40,000, with actual output determined by the burner and log set you select.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne practical note: this is an indoor-only unit. It is not rated for outdoor installation. The optional Fresh Air Kit (VFA2) is available specifically for Deluxe firebox models if code or preference calls for fresh air supply, and ember kits (EK1) and extended hoods are also available accessories. Natural gas and propane configurations are both supported.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're building a fireplace surround and want a firebox that gives you real choices — in logs, liners, airflow, and finish — rather than locking you into a single look, the Breckenridge 42-Inch Deluxe is a well-engineered starting point with a documented compatibility list to back it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e42-inch zero-clearance vent-free firebox — 44 W x 35 H x 19 D inches overall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal compatibility: accepts any certified vent-free burner and log set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum 40,000 BTU capacity (output determined by installed burner and log set)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLouvered face with matte black interior and hem-bent seam construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCirculating firebox design actively distributes warm air into the room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with optional FBB5 single-speed blower and SCV-1 variable speed control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccepts all six available liner styles: Aged Brick, Banded Brick, Traditional Brick, Stacked Limestone, Black Porcelain, and Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Fresh Air Kit VFA2, ember kit EK1, and extended hoods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes standard hood and junction box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurtain fire screen included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in natural gas and propane configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndoor installation only; not rated for outdoor use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips at 102 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBreckenridge Vent-Free Deluxe 42-inch Firebox with Louver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVent-free gas firebox\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42-inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLouvered\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExternal Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44 W x 35 H x 19 D inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpening Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24.25 H x 40 W x 14.125 D inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFraming Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35.75 H x 44.5 W x 18.75 D inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Hearth Dimensions (Without Liner)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39.87 W x 23.56 H x 16.56 D inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Hearth Dimensions (With Liner)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38.12 W x 23.56 H x 15.31 D inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBtu Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBased on installed logs and burner set\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Btu Limit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40,000 BTU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFuel Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural gas or propane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZero Clearance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncludes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard hood and junction box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterior Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatte black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFeatures\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHem-bent seams, curtain fire screen, louvered face, allows blower installation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCategory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCirculating firebox\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem Weight Lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e102.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Comfort Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45054087102672,"sku":"VFD42FB0L","price":865.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/3999\/5088\/files\/VFD42FB0L_01.jpg?v=1782711867","url":"https:\/\/www.shopsandersgas.com\/products\/empire-breckenridge-vent-free-42-inch-firebox-with-louvered-face","provider":"Shop Sanders Gas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
