The Empire Innsbrook Medium is a direct-vent gas fireplace insert that converts an existing wood-burning fireplace into a sealed gas unit. It has a 26,000 BTU input, a variable-flame-height burner with hand-painted ceramic fiber logs, and an included blower to push heat into the room. It comes in millivolt or intermittent-pilot (IPI) control, and the IPI version saves gas by lighting the pilot only on demand. The liner kit and surround are sold separately, so budget for those and for professional installation. It suits homeowners who want a traditional log look and a working blower without a full fireplace rebuild.

The Empire Innsbrook Medium Direct-Vent Gas Fireplace Insert (DVC26IN) 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 medium model has a 26,000 BTU/hr heat input and includes a blower. It is made in the USA by Empire Comfort Systems. The Innsbrook line also comes in 20,500 and 28,500 BTU sizes, and optional liners are available to complete a traditional look.
Two control options are offered. The millivolt system uses a standing pilot with an on/off switch, and the gas valve works without household electricity. The intermittent pilot system lights the pilot only when the fireplace is called for, which saves gas. Blowers and lights need a 120V supply. A qualified installer must install the insert according to the Empire installation manual and local codes.
