The Empire Innsbrook 28" Vent Free Medium Fireplace Insert is a natural gas insert that installs inside an existing wood-burning fireplace. The same unit can also be installed as a vent free fireplace. It has a maximum input of 28,000 BTU/hr and a minimum of 20,000 BTU/hr.
The Slope Glaze Burner produces natural flickering flames. A fine mesh barrier screen is included. The unit uses a log set and banded brick liner, both sold separately and both required to complete it.
It lights with a switch and uses a millivolt ignition, so it keeps producing heat when electric power fails. It can be operated with a wall switch, a wall thermostat, or a battery-operated thermostat remote control. A thermostat, wireless wall thermostat and remote control are optional. One surround is required to complete the unit.
