Abstract
A fireplace includes a first enclosure defining a combustion chamber and having a front that allows viewing within the combustion chamber, one or more back panels opposite the front, a plurality of side panels, a top panel, and a bottom panel. At least one of the one or more back panels and plurality of side panels includes a plurality of optically transmissive regions. A second enclosure includes a plurality of panels that are secured together to surround the plurality of side panels. A flame-generating element is disposed within the combustion chamber adjacent the bottom panel and is adapted to generate a flame. A lighting assembly between the first enclosure and the second enclosure is operable to project light onto portions of the second enclosure facing the first enclosure to passively illuminate an interior of the combustion chamber through the plurality of optically transmissive regions.
