The Ventis HE250R (VB00015) is a mid-size EPA 2020-certified zero-clearance wood fireplace for homes of roughly 850 to 2,200 square feet. It frames into a new wall or chase like a gas fireplace would, but it gives you a real wood fire that can carry a good share of the heating, at up to 80,000 BTU/hr.
Compared with the smaller-log HE325R, the HE250R takes 20-inch logs in its 2.5 cubic foot firebox and offers a larger 258 square inch viewing area, with 74% optimum efficiency and 1.14 g/h emissions. It is Washington State approved, uses a C-Cast baffle and has an adapter for outside combustion air.

It should be installed per the manufacturer's installation manual and local codes by a qualified installer.
Choose a faceplate (required). Add 6" DuraVent DuraTech chimney components and any optional Ventis accessories.
HE250R or HE325R?
The HE250R takes longer 20" logs and has more glass; the HE325R adds retractable doors and burns even cleaner.
Does it need outside air?
An exterior air-intake adapter is included; local code and the manual determine whether it must be connected.
