The Empire Innsbrook Large Direct-Vent Gas Fireplace Insert (DVC28IN) converts a drafty wood-burning fireplace into a gas fireplace. A variable-flame-height burner sits beneath a hand-painted ceramic fiber log set and produces natural, flickering flames.
This is the large size in the Innsbrook line, which also comes in 20,500 and 26,000 BTU models. It has a heat input of up to 28,500 BTU/hr on natural gas and 27,500 BTU/hr on propane. A blower is included. Empire Comfort Systems makes it in the USA.
Two control options are available. The millivolt version uses a standing pilot with an on/off switch, and its gas valve works without household electricity. The intermittent pilot version lights the pilot only when the fireplace is called for, which saves gas. On the millivolt version, the blower and lights need a 120V supply.
