Description

Empire Breckenridge Select 36″ Vent-Free Firebox

The Breckenridge Select 36″ is the mid-size model of Empire’s floor-level vent-free firebox line. With no lower louvers and a low-profile top and bottom, it installs at or near floor level — a tall, deep stage for the log set with less firebox face showing, for the look of a site-built fireplace. It’s zero-clearance certified, installs without a chimney or flue, and accepts any certified vent-free burner and log set.

• Floor-level installation: no lower louvers, so the box sits at or near floor level for a natural, integrated look.
• Tall, deep stage: a lofty 31 5/8″-high opening presents the log set prominently while outer dimensions stay compact.
• Zero-clearance certified: frames directly into standard construction.
• Recirculating design: still supports Empire’s optional blower despite the low-profile form.
• Customization options: Empire liners, decorative door sets, and steel frames tailor the finished look.

Because it draws room air for combustion and vents nothing outdoors, the Breckenridge Select can go where a vented unit can’t — interior walls, additions, and rooms without a chimney path. The low floor height is what sets it apart: the fire sits close to the floor like a masonry fireplace, rather than raised behind a louvered face.

Despite the minimal face, it remains a recirculating firebox, so Empire’s optional automatic single-speed blower (with speed control) can be added, along with the ember kit, fresh air kit, liners, decorative door set, and steel frame offered for the line.

Sold Separately — a burner and log set are required

This is the firebox only. To complete the fireplace you’ll add a certified vent-free burner and log set, sized for a 36″ firebox. An extended hood is also required when your surround material is thicker than 1 inch.

Is the Breckenridge Select 36″ right for you?

It’s the most popular size of the floor-level Breckenridge — maximum fireplace presence, minimum visible firebox face.

Buy the Breckenridge Select 36″ if:

• You want a floor-level, site-built look — no lower louvers raising the fire off the floor
• You want a tall, deep log stage behind a standard 36″-class opening
• You’re pairing it with your own certified vent-free burner and log set

Consider another model if:

• Your wall cavity is shallow — the Breckenridge Deluxe 36″ Vent-Free Firebox is just 19″ deep
• You prefer the traditional louvered or flush raised face — see the Breckenridge Premium 36″ Vent-Free Firebox
• You need a different width — see the Select 32″ or the Select 42″
