Our take on the Empire Innsbrook Large Clean Face Direct Vent Gas Insert

The Empire Innsbrook Large Clean Face Direct Vent Gas Insert is a 28,500 BTU zone heater that converts an existing wood-burning fireplace into a sealed gas heat source. It is the largest of three Innsbrook sizes, so it suits a large firebox and a room that needs serious supplemental heat. The clean face design keeps the front simple, with no heavy surround breaking up the opening. Against basic vented gas logs, a direct vent insert is sealed and draws combustion air from outside, so it avoids the heat loss and draft that a open wood fire creates.

About the Empire Innsbrook Large Clean Face Direct Vent Gas Insert

The Empire Innsbrook Large Clean Face is a direct-vent gas insert that turns an existing wood-burning fireplace into a gas-fired heat source. It is a zone heating appliance, so it heats the room you use most instead of the whole house. The Innsbrook comes in three sizes. This is the Large, model DVC28IN, rated at 28,500 BTUs.

It uses two 3-inch flexible co-linear vent pipes. One draws air from outside, and the other sends flue products outdoors. The flexible metal venting lets it install in a site-built or manufactured fireplace. The Slope Glaze Burner produces a natural flickering flame, with a variable flame height burner and hand-painted ceramic fiber logs. A mesh barrier screen covers the hot glass, and a blower is included.

Millivolt ignition with a standing pilot provides heat even without electric power. The electronic intermittent pilot version saves more energy and can run with a standing or intermittent pilot during power outages. A remote control does not come standard.

Questions and answers

How does the Large differ from the Medium and Small Innsbrook?
They are the same clean face direct vent insert in three sizes. The Large is rated 28,500 BTUs, the Medium 26,000 and the Small 20,500, so the choice comes down to firebox size and how much heat the room needs.
Will it fit my existing fireplace?
It is designed to drop into an existing wood-burning fireplace, and the Large is the biggest of the three sizes, so measure your firebox opening and depth before choosing. A direct vent flue also has to run up the existing chimney.
Does it really heat better than my wood fire?
Empire says a wood fire sends more than half its heat up the flue and pulls cold outside air into the house. A sealed direct vent insert is classed as a zone heating appliance, so more of the heat stays in the room.
What is a clean face front?
It means the front is kept plain, without a bulky louvered grille or heavy surround across the opening. The firebox view stays the focus.
Can I install it myself?
Gas connections, venting and clearances make this a job for a qualified installer in most homes. Plan for professional installation rather than a weekend DIY project.
