Summary
The New Forest 1900 Black Edition is one of the largest and most dramatic inset electric fireplaces British Fires builds — a 75-inch-wide showpiece designed for homeowners across Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota who want their media wall to make a statement. With its anti-reflective dark glass surround and hand-charred real oak log bed, this fireplace delivers panoramic flame presence without the smoke, gas lines, or venting required by a traditional wood-burning fireplace.
Hand-finished in the UK, the New Forest 1900 Black Edition represents British Fires’ most refined combination of scale and realism: a wide-format flame view paired with rear dark glass engineered specifically to cut room glare, so the log bed and fire — not your lighting or furniture reflections — remain the focal point of the room.

Why Florida Homeowners Are Choosing the New Forest 1900 Black Edition
Whether you’re building a grand media wall in a South Tampa great room, a waterfront living space in St. Petersburg, or a custom entertainment feature in Sarasota, this fireplace was built to anchor large-format rooms with year-round Florida livability in mind:
- Safe for warm climates — Fully electric operation means real flame ambiance with no open flame, gas lines, or chimney venting, well suited to Florida’s building codes and humidity.
- Runs on standard 110V household power — No specialty electrical work required for most installations; output is calibrated to a 5,000 BTU maximum heat setting, adding cozy supplemental warmth on cooler Tampa Bay evenings without overheating a large room.
- Anti-reflective dark glass (upgraded) — Rear dark glass eliminates the mirror-like glare of standard units, keeping the wide log bed and flame the true centerpiece of your media wall.
- Upgraded real oak log set — Genuine, responsibly sourced UK oak logs, individually hand-scorched and charred, arranged in the signature scattered layout for this model.
- Grand-scale flexibility — Configure as a front-facing, corner (two-sided), or full three-sided installation for a true panoramic flame view.
- Remote-controlled with full thermostatic and timer control — Adjust flame intensity, heat, and scheduling from anywhere in the room.
- Built for oversized media walls — Its expansive width is a favorite among Tampa Bay homeowners designing custom media walls around 75″+ televisions and large built-in cabinetry.
