Mendota ML48 Linear Gas Fireplace FireIn

The Mendota ML48 FireIn puts a realistic log fire into a modern linear frame. In the FireIn design, the logs wrap around the burner, so the flame dances around and through the logs instead of just rising behind them. It's a linear fireplace for people who still want a fire that looks like wood.

The viewing area is 47 7/8 by 19 1/2 inches. Natural gas input runs from 11,000 up to 41,000 BTU/hr. Dual blowers come standard, and electronic ignition works with a thermostatic remote.

What Makes the ML48 FireIn Different

• Logs wrapped around the burner. The FireIn layout lets the flame move around and through the logs for a more realistic fire.
• Wide turndown. Natural gas input from 11,000 to 41,000 BTU/hr lets it run low and quiet or turned up.
• Blowers standard. Dual blowers rated at 190 CFM in free air come with it.

This listing is the Mendota ML48 FireIn linear direct vent gas fireplace, part number AA-11-05438. It is not the ML48 Décor/Timberline (AA-11-05434), which has different ratings.
