A Permanent Outdoor Fireplace With Traditional Gas-Log Styling
The Laredo is designed for homeowners who want the visual presence of a traditional masonry-style fireplace with the convenience of gas operation.
Its approximately 79-inch height and 46-inch-wide structure create a substantial architectural focal point, while the 34"W × 19"D × 18"H firebox provides room for the standard 24-inch log grate and Weathered Oak log presentation.
The factory fireplace is configured for Natural Gas and can be converted to Liquid Propane using the appropriate conversion equipment and procedures.
Important before ordering: The Laredo is not a portable fire feature. The supplied product information lists a weight of approximately 600 lb., so plan the foundation, delivery route, fuel supply, clearances, ventilation, and final placement before purchase.

At approximately 79 inches tall, the Laredo is designed to become part of the architecture of the outdoor living area.

Flame Authority Expert Recommendation
Choose the Cal Flame Laredo FRP-905-1 when you want a permanent outdoor fireplace that combines traditional log-fire styling with a large architectural structure and gas convenience.
Its 79-inch height, 34-inch firebox, 90,000 BTU double burner, Weathered Oak log presentation, herringbone ceramic-brick interior, vented design, and optional exterior treatments make it especially suitable for dedicated patios, courtyards, backyard living rooms, and outdoor entertainment spaces.
Before ordering, confirm the complete 46"W × 28"D × 79"H footprint, approximately 600-lb. weight, foundation capacity, delivery route, Natural Gas service, ventilation, clearances, and selected exterior finish.
If Propane operation is required, plan the conversion separately and do not assume the standard fireplace is ready for direct LP connection.
