The Empire Innsbrook Medium Vent Free Gas Insert (VBPC28IN31N) is a traditional log insert for an existing fireplace that you'd like to use as a real heat source without relining the chimney. As a vent-free unit, it keeps its heat in the room, so it is well suited to medium and larger living spaces.
It is a step up in size and output from the Innsbrook Small, with a wider 29¼" view and up to 28,000 BTU. A realistic ceramic fiber log set and millivolt controls keep operation simple.

No flue is needed, but vent-free appliances are restricted in some jurisdictions and must meet room-size limits; check local code first. It should be installed per the manufacturer's installation manual and local codes, by a qualified installer.
Choose a surround that covers your fireplace opening (see the surround instructions on this page). Remotes, wall switches and a blower are available as add-ons from Empire.
Innsbrook Medium Vent-Free or direct vent?
Vent-free needs no liner and keeps all heat inside; direct vent exhausts outdoors and avoids vent-free code limits.
Does it need power?
No, the millivolt control runs on its own.
