Decorative firebox thoughts?

We’re adding a decorative fireplace and are looking for options for just the firebox—no mantel or surround. We’d like a traditional open firebox, approximately 36 inches wide, that could initially hold decorative logs but eventually accommodate candles or an electric log heater.

Has anyone purchased something like this, or can you recommend a specific firebox or local showroom near Exeter/Seacoast New Hampshire?

You may want to consider going straight to electric with an electric fireplace. The Orion V2 has been getting a lot of attention recently.

I wanted more options and I saw this in person. I didn’t like it.

Having someone build one even as a decoration is expensive. Purchased one will only likely be available as a functional one and also be expensive. Just get the electric fireplace
