OverviewProduct details and key features
The 48-inch Kalea Bay creates a wide, open-front fire feature for an outdoor wall or custom enclosure. Its burner and firebox use 304 stainless steel, with a clean rectangular viewing opening that lets the surrounding finish become part of the design.
Battery-operated ignition
This non-LED model uses battery-operated Ecoflow ignition, making it a distinct choice from the line-powered LED model. Ecoflow provides electronic ignition, adjustable flame control and a safety shutoff with automatic relight following flame loss.
Choose the correct gas
Select Natural Gas or Liquid Propane to order the corresponding factory model. Both options on this listing are single-sided. A see-through conversion kit is optional and sold separately; do not assume the second glass and hood assembly is included.
Included and required separately
The factory fireplace includes its burner, firebox, ignition system and control center in a stainless steel cabinet. The surrounding wall, framing and finish materials are supplied separately. Rock media, fire glass and log sets are not included. Select manufacturer-approved media before operation. Optional weather covers, remote controls and see-through conversion kits are separate purchases.
Installation planning
This is an outdoor built-in gas fireplace, not a portable freestanding fire pit. A qualified installer must plan the gas supply, cross ventilation, framing, required clearances and battery access using the exact model manual. The appliance dimensions below are not the framed opening dimensions. Manufacturer drawings in the gallery cover several sizes; use the row for this 48-inch model.

How to measureSizing and measuring guidance
Take three measurements before ordering: width, height, and depth of your fireplace opening (or the surface where this product will be installed).
Always measure to the nearest 1/8 inch. Take each dimension twice and use the smaller number — fireplaces aren't always square.

Frequently Asked
Will fireplace doors save energy?
Yes. When closed during periods the fireplace is not in use, glass doors seal the firebox opening — preventing warm indoor air from escaping up the chimney and blocking cold drafts from entering. This is one of the most common reasons buyers add doors to a masonry fireplace, where an open damper can lose hundreds of cubic feet of conditioned air per minute.
Can I close the doors while a fire is burning?
It depends on the door type. Most masonry-fireplace doors with tempered or ceramic glass are designed to be operated open while a wood fire burns at full intensity, then closed once the fire has burned down to embers. Always check the manufacturer's instructions for your specific model. Doors with mesh curtains can stay closed during active fires — the mesh blocks sparks while letting heat radiate through.
How do I measure for fireplace doors?
Measure the firebox opening at three points each direction (top, middle, bottom for width; left, center, right for height) and use the smallest measurement. For overlap-fit doors, add room for the frame overlap (typically +2" width / +1" height). For inside-fit, subtract clearance (-1" width / -½" height). Every custom order ships through our free Expert Fit Review — we verify your measurements before production.
What's the warranty on EF fireplace doors?
All doors carry a 5-year warranty against frame defects. The powder-coat finish is warranted against chipping and fading for 5 years. Glass and mesh are warranted against defects for 1 year. Damage in transit is fully covered — file a claim within 48 hours of delivery.
Do you offer free shipping and returns?
Free freight shipping on all orders within the contiguous US. Custom-made doors are non-returnable because every order is verified through Expert Fit Review before production — no measurement risk on your end. Quick-Ship inventory items have a 30-day return window on unused, uninstalled units.
