The Empire Tahoe Deluxe 36" Direct Vent Gas Fireplace (DVD36FP series) is a budget-friendly traditional fireplace for family rooms and bedrooms, especially where wall depth is tight. At about 16" deep it fits shallow framing that rules out many other units.
Its Contour tube burner is matched to the hand-painted ceramic fiber log set to create a natural, dancing flame, and the 20,000 BTU rating is right for an average-size room. Louvers and trim kits give it a conventional look, or it can go into a cabinet or corner mantel.
