Great product, instant heat
The gas mantle was bought to provide ambiance and warmth to a large, open kitchen-dining room. After installation, there was a problem with the On/Remote/Off module responding to the remote control. After a few telephone calls to tech support, we determined that the module was not functioning regards the remote control. A new unit was sent and swapped out. Then the unit was completely functional. The thermostatic blower coupled with the thermostat remote makes it a great way to warm up a space versus the whole house or a super emergency heat source.

Stove
this fireplace is awsome for heating the whole house, i use it to heat 1500 sq ft house and works great. the wireless thermostate works great and the fan is thermostate control or stay on your choice.

ProCam Duel Fuel Vent-Free Fireplace 32,000 BTU
This product is very simple to operate. Comes w/remote or you can manually turn off and on on the bottom of the fireplace. You can control the temp. and after reaching the desired temp. it will automatically shut off. Will go on again when temp. falls below setting. Beautiful and so realistic without the mess of wood, ashes. I've had so many compliments on it. It heats the entire room within minutes. I cannot say anything that isn't great about it only that I wish I had ordered one last year when I had thought about it.

Excellent fireplace
I've had the fireplace for about 4 months now, and I've been very pleased with the overall performance. I use mine with natural gas.
The unit puts out a LOT of heat, more than enough for the 2,000 sq.ft. basement it's in. Granted, it's used as "supplemental" heat, but the regular heat hasn't been running much ever since I got it. Like all vent-free systems, there is a bit of an odor for the first few minutes when you run it. Compared to a previous vent-free system I used, this is very minor. I also got the optional blower, which helps disperse the odor pretty quickly. I highly recommend the blower, it is quiet and helps distribute the heat.
The remote is extremely convenient. When you're cold, you turn on the fireplace. Warm enough? One click and it's off. It's probably the ultimate proof of my laziness, but it is _nice_. I have not used the "temperature" mode (which will turn the fireplace on automatically if the room is too cold), since I don't really want the system to come on when I'm not there.
The documentation is superb. Clear diagrams, advice for the installers, etc. You have to really try hard if you want to mess up the assembly. Even the log stacking was well described. The logs look decent, but it's nothing spectacular. Some gas fireplaces have the fluffy stuff that glows like embers, this unit doesn't have that. So if you want the ambiance of a wooden fire, you may be disappointed. The mesh doors work really well, I have several cats and the doors provide a great deal of security compared to the mesh "curtains" some units have.
I was pleasantly surprised by the wooden mantel. It's not real wood of course, but the veneering is pretty decent. I originally was interested in the unit because it could be used in a corner. I ended up installing it in the center of the wall, but it's nice to have the option. There is just enough room inside the mantel for the flex hose for hooking up to the gas supply, but things can get a little tight.
In short, there is nothing about the unit I don't like. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. Quality, fit and finish were well above what I expected at this price point.

Excellent Product
this is an excellent source of backup heat that looks attractive in any room. we put it in our living room and it can get it as hot as you want. its controlled by battery power. the remote works great and it comes with enough batteries to run it. i'm pretty sure you can turn it on manually. we bought it as a backup in case the power went out but wound up using it as a supplemental too.
