Empire Breckenridge Premium See-Through 36" Vent-Free Firebox
The Breckenridge Premium See-Through is the double-sided member of Empire's deep-stage vent-free firebox line — one fire, open to two rooms back to back. The banded brick liner comes preinstalled, each face is available flush or louvered, and the box installs without a chimney or flue.
- Two-sided fire: see-through design shares the flame between two rooms — a wall opening becomes a shared fireplace.
- Banded brick liner included: the finished interior comes preinstalled, not sold separately.
- Two face styles: Flush Front for a clean, seamless look or Louver for the traditional recirculating-firebox face.
- Superior seal: hem-bent seams reduce the hardware needed and speed installation.
- Matched components: pairs with Empire's Vent-Free Slope Glaze Burner systems and Stone River or Rock Creek log sets.
| Configuration | See-through — open front and back |
| Nominal width | 36" |
| Liner | Banded brick liner, preinstalled |
| Venting | Vent-free — no chimney or flue required |
| Burner compatibility | Empire Vent-Free Slope Glaze Burner systems; Stone River or Rock Creek log sets |
| Included | Firebox, junction box, standard matte black hood, banded brick liner |
Because it draws room air for combustion and vents nothing outdoors, the See-Through can be framed into an interior partition wall — living room to dining room, bedroom to bath — where a vented double-sided unit would be impossible without a flue. The junction box, standard hood, and brick liner are all included, so the box arrives ready to frame in.
Finish it your way: Empire (White Mountain Hearth) offers a blower, lighting kit, ember kit, louvers, and door and frame options for the line, plus traditional-style cabinet or corner mantels in five finishes or stainable oak and hardwood.
Sold Separately — a burner and log set are required
This is the firebox only. To complete the fireplace you'll add an Empire Vent-Free Slope Glaze Burner system with a Stone River or Rock Creek log set. An extended hood is also required when your surround material is thicker than 1 inch.
Is the Breckenridge Premium See-Through 36" right for you?
It's one fireplace serving two rooms — the Breckenridge for partition walls, where both sides deserve the flame.
Buy the Breckenridge Premium See-Through 36" if:
- You're framing a fireplace into an interior wall shared by two rooms
- You want the interior finished out of the box — the banded brick liner is preinstalled
- You're pairing it with Empire's Slope Glaze burner and Stone River or Rock Creek logs
Consider another model if:
- You want the fire visible from three sides on a projecting wall — see the Breckenridge Premium Peninsula 36" Firebox
- You're installing against a standard wall — the Breckenridge Premium 36" Vent-Free Firebox is the single-sided version

Frequently asked questions
Is the burner or log set included?
No — this listing is the firebox with its banded brick liner, junction box, and standard matte black hood. You'll add an Empire Vent-Free Slope Glaze Burner system and a Stone River or Rock Creek log set to complete the fireplace.
What does "see-through" mean here?
The firebox is open on the front and back, so it's framed into a wall between two rooms and the same fire is visible and enjoyed from both sides.
Is the brick liner included?
Yes — the banded brick liner comes preinstalled on this model, unlike the single-sided Breckenridge fireboxes where liners are optional add-ons.
Does it need a chimney or vent?
No. It's a vent-free firebox — it uses room air for combustion and requires no chimney, flue, or outside venting, which is what makes an interior-wall see-through installation possible.
What accessories can I add?
Empire offers a blower, lighting kit, ember kit, louvers, and door and frame options for this model, all sold separately. An extended hood is required when the surround material is thicker than 1 inch.
