Monessen Twilight Modern: one gas fire for the living room and patio
The Monessen Twilight Modern is a see through direct vent gas fireplace set in an outside wall. See through means one side faces the living room and the other faces the patio. It comes 36 inches wide, with a window about 36 by 21 inches on each side. Flames rise through crushed glass instead of logs. The vent runs out the back, leaving the wall above the fire free for a window. It puts out up to 38,000 BTU.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Direct vent means a sealed pipe runs to the outside. It brings in air for the fire and carries the exhaust out, so the fire never uses the air in your room. IntelliFire Touch ignition lights it with a button. With the Wi-Fi module you can run it from the IntelliFire app or with your voice. On the page you pick the fuel, glass color, and control: a wall switch, Wi-Fi module, or touchscreen remote. You can add a fan or a wood mantel or mantel shelf. Prefer logs?

FAQ
What should be settled before the wall framing goes up?
Three numbers drive the project: a framing width of 44 inches, a framing depth of 23 inches, and a framing height of 47-5/8 inches. Lock those in early, then decide the finished surfaces for each face of the wall, since this fireplace presents a finished view on both sides. Agreeing on dimensions and finishes before construction starts keeps the surround work from being torn out and redone later.
How does the ignition system add a layer of safety?
Enhanced safety is a designed-in feature here, delivered through the IntelliFire Touch ignition system. Rather than leaving startup to a match and a hope, the system governs every lighting of the burner, a meaningful reassurance on a fireplace that serves living areas on each side of a wall. You enjoy the fire; the electronics mind the way it starts.
Will the Twilight Modern suit a minimalist interior?
That is exactly its brief. The contemporary design skips rustic trappings entirely: artistic flames rise through a crushed glass firebed, giving the fire a refined, gallery-like character that sits comfortably in spare, modern rooms. With clean lines and no log stack to impose a cabin mood, it reads as a deliberate piece of design, and the outdoor face carries the same aesthetic to the patio.
Does the 36 label match the exact glass dimensions?
The 36 is a nominal size. The actual viewing area measures 35-5/8 by 21-1/2 inches, and each face of this see-through model frames that same expanse of fire. Use the nominal number when comparing models across a lineup, and switch to the exact figures, along with the framing dimensions on the specifications tab, once real drawings are on the table.
Are the flames real on a fireplace filled with glass?
Completely real. This is a gas fireplace rated at 38,000 BTU per hour on natural gas; what changes is the setting the flames rise through. There is no log set here. The burner sits beneath a bed of crushed glass, so genuine fire takes on a modern, artistic presentation. The media changes the look, never the warmth.
How long have indoor/outdoor see-through gas fireplaces existed?
Not long at all. Monessen’s Twilight line pioneered the category as the first indoor/outdoor gas fireplace, and the Twilight Modern is its design-forward expression, trending ahead with a contemporary take on the concept. Among multi-sided fireplaces it represents the newest thinking in the category, purpose-built for the role rather than adapted from an existing indoor design.
Can a mantel or custom surround be added?
Yes. Monessen publishes a dedicated mantels, shelves, and surrounds brochure for this series, so the firebox can anchor anything from a floating shelf to a full built-out surround. The contemporary styling also stands confidently on its own in a bare wall. Whichever direction the design takes, have your installer confirm the required clearances before materials are ordered.
