ProCom PCS150T-3AS Dual-Fuel Vent-Free Gas Fireplace: 15,000 BTU/h

What you get

The ProCom PCS150T-3AS Dual-Fuel Vent-Free Gas Fireplace is a vent-free gas fireplace rated by its maker at 15,000 BTU per hour.

At full fire it burns about 14 cubic feet of natural gas or about 0.16 gallons of propane an hour (its 15,000 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 12.63 in (D) x 28 in (W) x 36 in (H) and cast iron construction.
