The Innsbrook Vent Free insert includes a fine mesh barrier screen, blower, and an on off switch for everyday operation. Its Slope Glaze Burner is engineered to produce natural flickering flames, while optional concrete or fiber log sets and optional banded brick liners allow the appearance to be customized.
