Our take on the Empire 28" Innsbrook Traditional Vent-Free Gas Fireplace Insert

The Empire Innsbrook 28 is a vent-free gas fireplace insert that drops into an existing wood-burning fireplace and runs on natural gas or propane without a chimney flue. Its Slope Glaze burner makes flickering flames over hand-painted ceramic logs, and banded brick liners give it a traditional masonry look. A blower and fine mesh barrier screen come standard, and it keeps heating when the power fails. Against vented inserts and gas log sets, it wins on installation ease and heat output but gives up some realism and needs clearance to combustibles.

About the Empire 28" Innsbrook Traditional Vent-Free Gas Fireplace Insert

The Empire Innsbrook is a traditional vent-free gas fireplace insert. It installs inside an existing fireplace, and the same unit can also be installed as a vent-free fireplace. It is rated at 28,000 BTU/hr maximum and 20,000 BTU/hr minimum.

It has banded brick liners, hand-painted ceramic fiber logs and a fine mesh barrier screen. The logs sit on a variable-flame burner. The Slope Glaze Burner produces flickering flames. A blower is included.

The insert lights with a switch and gives heat even when electric power fails. It can also run with an optional thermostat, wireless wall thermostat, remote control or thermostat remote control. One surround is required to complete the unit. Metal surrounds do not include a bottom cover, so for in-wall installation (not on a hearth) a custom 4-sided surround is needed.

Questions and answers

Does it need a chimney or vent?
No. It is vent-free, so it installs in an existing wood-burning fireplace without a flue. It still needs a gas line and proper clearance to combustibles.
Will it heat during a power outage?
Yes. The burner lights and runs without electricity, so it provides heat when the power fails. The blower needs power to move air.
Can I add a remote or thermostat?
Yes. Empire offers an optional thermostat, wireless wall thermostat, remote, or thermostat remote. These are not included with the insert.
What comes in the box?
The insert, banded brick ceramic liner, fine mesh barrier screen, on/off switch, blower, and log set.
Natural gas or propane?
The insert is built for either fuel, but the gas type must match what you order. Confirm the valve is set for your supply before installation.
Is it hard to install?
It fits into an existing fireplace opening, but gas line connection and clearance checks call for a qualified installer. Plan for professional installation.
