What you get
The Duluth Forge DF300L Dual-Fuel Vent-Free Gas Fireplace is a vent-free gas fireplace that its maker rates at 26,000 BTU per hour and says heats up to 1,400 square feet.
Treat the 1,400 square feet as the maker's best case for an open, reasonably insulated space, and check it against your room before choosing.
At full fire it burns about 25 cubic feet of natural gas or about 0.28 gallons of propane an hour (its 26,000 BTU/h divided by EIA's heat content for each fuel).
Vent-free means no pipe: combustion air comes from the room and the exhaust stays in it. The manual's room-size and altitude limits and its oxygen-depletion sensor are part of using it safely; check local code first. Vent-free vs direct-vent.
Fuel, per the listing: dual fuel. Never connect a gas heater to a fuel it isn't set for.
Ignition: Piezo ignition.
Also on the listing: overall dimensions of 7.84 in (D) x 27.95 in (W) x 18.05 in (H), a shipping or unit weight of 31 lb and ceramic construction.
