What to know before buying
- The listing gives a 5-inch overall height but separately says the base raises logs about 3 inches. It also uses both 17-inch length and width wording, and says maximum compatible size is 17 inches without defining what that measures. Measure the firebox and confirm fit. The coating may be damaged by direct gas flame, and the grate is not for gas or electric fireplaces.
