The Empire Tahoe Premium 42" Direct Vent Gas Fireplace (DVP42FP31 millivolt, DVP42FP70 electronic) is a wide, traditional zero-clearance fireplace for great rooms and large living rooms where the look of a big log fire matters more than maximum heat output.
Its deeper firebox, about 20", allows a taller, deeper log stack on Empire's Slope Glaze burner, which gives the fire real dimension. Unlike the Luxury line, it uses a four-piece log set and offers both top and rear venting, which can simplify placement on an outside wall.
