Superior VRT3200: a vent-free firebox with a tall 28 inch opening set low to the floor like masonry
The Superior VRT3200 is a vent-free gas firebox. A firebox is the steel shell that holds the fire. Your builder frames a wall around it and finishes it in stone, tile, or brick. It comes in widths of 32, 36, or 42 inches. Pick the size on the page. The opening is 28 inches tall and sits low to the floor, so it looks like a built masonry fireplace rather than a metal box on the wall. Mesh screens draw across the front. On the page you pick the brick pattern for the inside, stacked or herringbone. The liner is molded from real hand cut brick.
Vent-free means it needs no chimney or vent pipe at all, so it can go on almost any inside wall. It is the firebox only. You add a vent-free gas log set, sold separately, and the logs set the heat. The required heat hood comes with it. You can add an outside air kit. Check your local code first, since some areas restrict vent-free fireplaces. Want the same tall opening without a hood? See the Superior VRT3500 vent-free firebox. The Superior VRT3200 ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What is special about the VRT3200 opening?
It is a 28 in tall, full-width opening set low to the floor, so it reads like a traditional masonry fireplace rather than a raised metal box. The refractory brick liner is molded from hand-cut firebrick in a stacked or herringbone pattern, chosen on the Brick Pattern selector, and mesh draw screens finish the look. The required heat deflection hood is included.
Does it come with a log set?
No. It is a firebox only; choose any listed ANSI Z21.11.2 vent-free log set from our ventless gas logs range to suit the 32, 36 or 42 in opening. The vent-free logs brochure linked in the Manuals tab lists the Superior sets and the minimum firebox sizes each one needs.
Which sizes are available and how are they framed?
32 in, 36 in and 42 in models on the Size selector, all at the same base price with the pattern priced per size. Framing is 38-1/4, 42-1/4 or 48-1/4 in wide, 40-1/4 in high and 20-1/2 in deep. The Specifications tab lists WS and WH versions, which are the stacked and herringbone liners.
How much heat does it give off?
The output comes from the log set you install, up to the 40,000 BTU per hour limit for vent-free log heaters, and the room must pass the ventilation-air check in the installation manual. The VRT3200 is a radiant smooth-faced box with no blower option, so heat comes off the opening and the refractory mass rather than a fan.
Does it need a chimney or vent?
No. A vent-free firebox needs no flue, which keeps the low masonry look uninterrupted and makes it easy to add during a remodel. It draws combustion air from the room, so local vent-free rules apply; the Outside Air selector adds a ducted kit that feeds the burner with outdoor air.
What finish options are there?
Stacked or herringbone refractory brick on the Brick Pattern selector, a black powder-coat exterior, and exterior touch-up paint on the Accessories row for after installation. There are no door or blower rows on this model; its radiant smooth-faced design is meant to be finished flush with your surround.

What Our Customers Say
D
A sauna turns your garden into a spa oasis. We debated it for a while, but after renovating our house, we pulled the trigger and bought a sauna from Norse Steam and Maya. She was always super responsive and helpful throughout the process. Don't kid yourself, getting a really nice sauna is not that easy. Sizing and heating need to be figured out, as does the building, but we have always had a helpful partner on our side. She never upsold us on anything we didn't need, and we got some nice freebies when the sauna was delivered. And now we can really enjoy every moment in our garden.
KF
I'm really happy with my sauna purchase. Maya gave above and beyond excellent customer service. She wasn't pushy and gave impressive followup after the delivery to make sure everything was just right.
DE
I enjoy my FD2 Sauna with Red Light, Infrared and radiant heat. Use it 5x a week and my post workout soreness is minimal and sleep great. Maya at Norse Steam was excellent to work with.
B
We purchased the 3-person sauna for our outdoor garden. We chose the cube sauna for the aesthetic and could not be happier.
I assembled by myself except for the 2 large panels (requires a few people). Instructions were good - took me two partial Saturdays to complete and a few hours to unpack and organize in advance of assembly. Had my elec. add a NEMA enclosure on the back for the controller and power for lights and a 2nd panel for the wireless control.
Customer service was excellent
MP
Awesome Sauna and Awesome Company and Experience purchasing it from Maya!
After much research I chose the Finnmark FD-2 and it has met and exceeded all my expectations! Easy to assemble and it functions great - just as advertised. I highly recommend it for home use!
EA
Recently purchased the Finnmark one person after much research. Extremely happy with it and the ordering process. Maya was very responsive and helpful during the process and keeping us updated while we waited for shipment. There were several places I could have ordered this, but i chose Norse Steam based on the communication and customer service which was fantastic. The shipment was also excellent. The setup was pretty seamless for two people - but the best part is the sauna experience 10/10

Maya is amazing - super helpful and responsive. Looked at many stores, these guys have the best prices and service. Highly recommend
GR
Norse Steam, and specifically Maya, were extremely helpful as I was making the decision for our Sauna. I was able to get all of the necessary details to make a decision as construction was happening in my backyard to make space for it.
We absolutely love the CL7G. It is extremely comfortable for 6 people (can fit more less comfortably). The Thermory Spruce and Aspen in the interior smells great. The lighting is lovely. We paired the CL7G with the Harvia Spirit 10.5kw.
RS
Had great experience shopping at Norse Steam for the new heater. They had very good deal, with rocks. Customer service was good, and responded very fast with my questions. Received the heater, and it looks good, and the quality seem to be great. Will install soon, and am very excited to start experiencing sauna the way it ment to be

Can highly recommend Norse Steam for others.

Smoking Hot Tub!
I got the Norse Steam SaunaLife wood-fired hot tub, the S4N model, and its been seriously great. It heats up quicker than I expected, usually around an hour and a half, and once its hot, it stays that way for a good long while. The wood-fired system is simple to use, and honestly kind of fun.
The tub itself feels solid and well put together. The thermo-spruce exterior looks beautiful in person, and the fiberglass interior is smooth, deep, and easy to clean. Its the kind of setup that just works without a bunch of fuss, which I really appreciate.
Also, the team at Norse Steam was genuinely great to work with. Super helpful, quick to respond, and made the process really easy from start to finish. It felt like they actually cared that I was happy with it. The tub has totally become a go-to way to unwind, and I wouldnt change a thing.

Great Sauna & Purchase Experience
Great experience purchasing Finnmark FD-2 from Norse Steam. Good communication and easy to assemble. Temperature increases quickly (30 minutes or less to 140) and maintains well. So far this has been a great purchase.
M
Great sauna and great customer service
We purchased the Finnmark SD-1 sauna. Maya was extremely helpful with the purchase. We had an issue with the sauna not reaching the maximum temperature, and Maya connected us with the appropriate technician that explained how to correct the issue. The sauna now heats to the maximum temperature (170 degrees) in less than an hour, and it is a great unit. We are very happy with it, and we would definitely purchase from NorseSteam if we needed any other items.

Sauna Review
I recently purchased a sauna from Norse Steam, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional, and Maya deserves special recognition for her outstanding support!
Maya was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, answering all my questions about the sauna features, installation process, and maintenance. She went above and beyond to ensure I selected the perfect model for my home. Even after the purchase, Maya followed up to make sure everything was running smoothly and that I was satisfied with my sauna.
The sauna itself is top-notch beautifully designed, durable, and easy to use. It's clear that Norse Steam takes pride in the quality of their products and their commitment to customer satisfaction.
If you're considering a sauna, I wholeheartedly recommend Norse Steam. With their excellent customer service and high-quality products, you're in great hands. Thank you, Maya, and the entire Norse Steam team for a fantastic experience!
