Our take on the Empire Gateway 3500 Freestanding Metallic Black Wood Burning Stove

The Empire Gateway 3500 is a large steel freestanding wood stove with a 3.5 cu. ft. firebox and a 110,000 BTU maximum output, rated to heat 1,000 to 2,700 sq ft. It takes logs up to 22 inches, runs on a 6-inch flue, and is certified to 2020 EPA standards. Its 10-hour burn time and 226 sq. in. viewing area put it in the big-firebox class alongside stoves like the Drolet HT-3000 and Englander 30-NC, which offer similar capacity. It suits large or open-plan homes and buyers who want long overnight burns; the door overlay and pedestal or legs are sold separately, so budget for those.

Questions and answers

How much space does the Gateway 3500 heat?
Empire rates it for 1,000 to 2,700 sq ft with a maximum output of 110,000 BTU. That range depends on insulation, ceiling height and climate, so a well-insulated open plan sits near the top and a drafty older house near the bottom.
What size logs does it take?
The firebox accepts logs up to 22 inches long. The 3.5 cu. ft. firebox holds enough wood for the rated 10-hour burn.
What else do I need to complete the install?
A door overlay and a pedestal or legs are required and sold separately. You also need 6-inch chimney pipe and the clearances the manual specifies.
Is it EPA certified?
Yes, it is certified to 2020 EPA standards, so it meets current emissions rules for new wood stoves.
How does it compare with the Drolet HT-3000 or Englander 30-NC?
All three are large steel stoves with roughly 3 to 3.5 cu. ft. fireboxes and similar heating ranges. The Gateway 3500 stands out on its 10-hour burn rating and 226 sq. in. viewing area, but unlike some rivals it needs the door overlay and base bought separately.
Does it need electricity?
No. It is match-lit and manual, with no blower or electronic ignition required, so it works during power outages.
Where is the Empire Gateway 3500 Freestanding Metallic Black Wood Burning Stove cheapest?
At Chimney Cricket, for $3,189.00, as of our latest check.
