Lower BTU beautiful Direct Vent Fireplace?

[u/curlynyc2]

What is the most elegant, most realistic (not cheesy) direct vent fireplace with lower BTU? Ortal, Heat n Glo and Mendota all really high BTU and i really don’t want $3k in extras for heat-out kit.

The FPX will be the most impressive of these 3.

Modern or Traditional?

[u/curlynyc2]

prefer something that can go on the floor, so traditional but clean/ high-end. and want tv over it

I would go with a Montigo del ray square. You have a lot of different options for the interior and if you get tired of what you have in there you can always change it out easily and basically have a “new fireplace”.
