A compact vent-free fireplace with ceramic fiber logs and yellow flames.

• Controls: Remote-ready pilot model or thermostat-control model; wall switch or wall thermostat optional.
• Fan: Optional

Who It’s For

A small room can’t take a full-size fireplace or a chimney. You need a compact fire that frames in easily. The Superior VCM3026 is for the den, bedroom, or office that wants a small vent-free gas fireplace with logs. Vent-free keeps the heat in the room.

What Makes It Special

It pairs hand-painted ceramic fiber logs with a single row of dancing yellow flames, behind an arch screen with a rolled louvered front.

Choose the remote-ready pilot model or the thermostat-control model; a heat-activated thermostat blower is optional. Superior backs it with a 20-year limited warranty.

Possible Downsides

• Vent-free is not allowed everywhere. Check local codes first.
• The blower is optional. Add it to move more warm air.

If you want a small log fireplace without a chimney, the Superior VCM3026 is the right decision. The small room gets a fire of its own.

Choose the control model, and add a remote, wall control, or blower.
