SimpliFire Forum Outdoor Electric Fireplace
Product Description
The SimpliFire Forum turns an outdoor wall into a glowing focal point with the look of a real fire and none of the gas, venting, or ash. It plugs into a standard outdoor circuit, so a covered patio, porch, or three-season room can carry a fireplace wherever a GFCI outlet reaches.
Choose the 43-inch or 55-inch size to match your wall, then set the look with the driftwood logs and crystals included in the box or with an optional ShadowGlo HD log set in Alpine Timber or Natural Birch. A self-trimming decorative front installs flush for finishes up to one inch or comes off for a thicker surround or a frameless look. Add the matching drain pan when the unit sits where rain can reach it.
The Forum runs on a 120V, 15-amp circuit through the attached GFCI cord and is not a heat source. Per SimpliFire, it delivers four flame effects and 14 ember bed color themes with four brightness settings and a timer, all managed by the included remote. Multi-color LED lighting sets the flame and ember colors across the media bed, and the unit is designed for zero-clearance framing on all sides.
