Empire Breckenridge Premium Peninsula 36" Vent-Free Firebox
The Breckenridge Premium Peninsula is the three-sided member of Empire's deep-stage vent-free firebox line — glass-free fire visible from three sides, built to project into a room or cap a peninsula wall. The banded brick liner comes preinstalled, the front face is available flush or louvered, and the box installs without a chimney or flue.
- Three-sided fire: peninsula design shows the flame from the front and both sides — a natural room divider.
- Banded brick liner included: the finished interior comes preinstalled, not sold separately.
- Two front-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.

Because it draws room air for combustion and vents nothing outdoors, the Peninsula can sit in the middle of a floor plan — the end of a kneewall between kitchen and living room, a divider in a great room — places a vented fireplace could never go. 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 Peninsula 36" right for you?
It's the Breckenridge for open floor plans — a fire you can see from three sides, dividing a space without walling it off.
Buy the Breckenridge Premium Peninsula 36" if:
- You're building a peninsula or room-divider installation where the fire shows from three sides
- 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 open to exactly two rooms, back to back — see the Breckenridge Premium 36" See-Through 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 "peninsula" mean here?
The firebox is open on three sides — front, left, and right — so it's designed to project into a room or terminate a partial wall, with the fire visible from three directions.
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 a mid-room peninsula 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.
