The Kennesaw II pairs a HearthRite millivolt burner with a 6-piece refractory log set. It is vent-free, which means no chimney and no flue — essentially all the heat produced stays in the room rather than going up a stack. For supplemental heat in a space that has no venting, nothing else in the Empire range comes close on price.
Millivolt control matters here more than it might elsewhere. The burner generates its own power from the pilot thermopile, so a vent-free set installed as backup heat still works when the power is out — which is often exactly the scenario you bought it for.
Empire sells these as separate part numbers, and the refractory log set is not a standalone product — it has no burner of its own. We have listed the sensible combinations above: the complete set, or the burner by itself if you are replacing a burner and keeping serviceable logs.
Natural gas or propane, specified at order.
Vent-free appliances are restricted or prohibited outright in some jurisdictions, and most codes bar them from bedrooms and bathrooms. Many areas also require an oxygen depletion sensor and set a maximum BTU relative to room volume. Confirm your local code before ordering — this is the single most common reason a vent-free purchase gets returned.
A 24" flexible stainless gas line and an adjustable black hood are available as accessories. Call us and we will confirm what your installation needs — (540) 212-9374.
