The Empire Innsbrook 27 is a vent-free gas fireplace insert that drops into an existing masonry or factory-built fireplace opening of about 14 5/8 inches high by 25 7/8 inches wide. It runs on natural gas or propane and puts out up to 20,000 BTUs with no chimney liner or venting, so nearly all the heat stays in the room. A hand-painted ceramic fiber log set, banded brick liner and variable-flame burner give it a wood-fire look, and an included blower pushes warm air out. It suits homeowners who want supplemental heat and a real flame without a venting project; against vented inserts it loses some realism and needs a clear safety margin, but it costs far less to install.

Owners of vent-free Empire inserts generally report easy installation into an existing opening and steady supplemental heat, with the flame and log set reading well in a dark room. Complaints center on the vent-free smell and moisture, the modest realism next to a real fire, and the cost of adding a remote.
The Empire Innsbrook 27" is a small vent-free gas fireplace insert that provides supplemental heat. It fits fireplace openings 14 5/8" high by 25 7/8" wide. It installs inside an existing masonry or factory-built fireplace, and the same unit can also be installed as a vent-free fireplace in zero-clearance applications. It needs no chimney liner or venting system.
The vent-free design is rated up to 99.9% efficiency and up to 20,000 BTU. A variable-flame burner lets you adjust the flame height. Hand-painted ceramic fiber logs and a banded brick liner give the look of a wood-burning fireplace. A fine mesh barrier screen comes standard.
A blower circulates heated air through the room. It is available with a millivolt or an intermittent pilot ignition system, and for natural gas or propane. It works with optional remote controls and wall thermostats. Most millivolt systems can keep providing heat during a power outage. One surround is required to complete the unit.
