Product Description

The Vent Free Slope Glaze Burner from Empire

Who say's you can't have both heat and good looks? The internal ceramic beads in the slope glaze burner tumble the gas to create lifelike, dancing flames. Creating one of the most realistic flame experiences in a vent free log set!

And don't forget the heat! The slope glaze burner creates a consistent, controlled heat - without dangerous flare-ups or chilling die-downs. 

Empire Charred Oak Vent Free Gas Log Set Features: 

  • Available in (3) sizes: 16”, 18", 24" and 30"
  • Efficient heating appliance - up to 38,000 BTUs
  • The flames do the talking! 
  • Realistic glowing embers
  • Clean presentation - in the remote ready models the ugly parts (valve/controls) are hidden for a more appealing visual experience
  • Multiple control options to choose from

Control Valve Options

1. Manual (Hi-Med-Low Knob)

The most basic of the control valve options, with manual control, the control knob is located on the side of the burner. When you want to control the fire you reach into the fireplace and turn the knob. The control knob turn the fire on/off, and adjust the flame height between High, Medium, and Low settings. Keep in mind, the manual control option requires a larger fireplace opening because the control valve is located 4" to the right side of the burner. 

Manual Control has a standing pilot and requires no electricity. 

2. Millivolt (Remote Ready)

This is the most versatile control valve and is powered by a millivolt generator placed in front of the pilot light. The millivolt generator sends electricity to the control valve which allows you to control the log set from a wall switch/thermostat or a remote control. There are many different models of remote controls and you don't have to purchase an EmpireWhite Mountain Hearth specific remote to operate your log set.

  • On/Off Millivolt (Remote Ready) - comes with on/off switch on the burner and is ready pair with a millivolt remote control that you already have or have purchased separately
  • Empire On/Off Wall Switch | FWS1
  • Empire Standard On/Off Remote Control | FRBC
  • Empire Remote Control Thermostat | FRBTC2

Millivolt (remote ready) has a standing pilot

3. Variable Flame Remote Control

Variable flame remote control means you can control the height of your flames from high to low and anywhere in between. You can also turn the log set off and on from the remote. 

This option also has a standing pilot. 

4. Electronic Ignition - Variable Flame Height with Thermostat

The only control option that does not have a standing pilot. Electronic ignition operates on an intermittent pilot system meaning the battery-powered digital remote will light the pilot when you turn on the log set. It also means you can operate the log set and provide heat for your home in a power outage. You will have to change the batteries (approx 1x/year). And it's important to note that the electronic ignition takes longer to warm up than a standing pilot. 

The electronic ignition comes with a multi-functional remote control that lights the pilot, turns the log set on/off, allows you to adjust the flame height, and acts as a thermostat. 

What's Included?

  • Slope Glaze Burner System
  • Heavy Duty Log Grate
  • Glowing Embers (rock wool)
  • Decorative Lava Rock to Place Around the Burner
  • Remote Kit (depending on your control valve configuration)
