The Empire Vail Premium 36" Peninsula Vent-Free Gas Fireplace is a three-sided zero-clearance firebox for room dividers and half-walls where running a vent would be difficult or costly. Because it is vent-free, every bit of heat stays in the room, which makes it a strong supplemental heater.
What sets the Vail apart is its burner media: ceramic glazed pellets that give the flame a lively, swirling motion around the log set. The peninsula layout shows the fire on the front and both ends, and louver options let you match the trim to traditional or Mission-style rooms.

No flue is needed, but vent-free gas appliances are restricted or not allowed in some areas and are subject to room-size limits, so confirm your local code first. It should be installed per the manufacturer's installation manual and local codes, by a qualified installer.
Required: fuel and a log set (Empire 24" multi-sided refractory log set). Choose louvers for the face (Black or Hammered Pewter, Arch or Mission) and, if wanted, for the peninsula end. Options include doors and screens, blowers, remotes and trim.
