Our take on the Empire Premium Tahoe Direct Vent LP Fireplace

The Empire Tahoe is a zero-clearance direct vent gas fireplace that vents through an exterior wall, so it needs no chimney. It puts out up to 30,000 BTU and is heater rated, meaning it can warm a room rather than just look good. A millivolt system with a thermostat and remote lets it run without household power, which suits outages and off-grid rooms. Against sealed-combustion rivals it is a straightforward, builder-friendly box; owners rate it highly, though the millivolt controls are basic next to electronic ignition models.

Best forLiving rooms and family rooms where a real flame is the focal pointHomes without a chimney or with an interior wall to vent throughRooms that need backup heat during power outagesNew construction and remodels with framed zero-clearance openings

Pros

Direct vent design needs no chimney and pulls combustion air from outside
Heater rated at up to 30,000 BTU, so it heats as well as decorates
Millivolt ignition and thermostat work without electricity
Zero-clearance framing fits into standard wall construction
Remote and thermostat included
Runs on propane or natural gas

Cons

Millivolt controls are less precise than electronic ignition and modulation
No blower included, so heat spread depends on air circulation
Tempered glass gets very hot; a screen or barrier matters with kids
Requires a vent kit and framing clearances, so installation is not a simple swap
Limited flame and log adjustability compared with premium linear fireplaces

What people mention

Flame appearancePraisedOwners say the log set and flame look convincing and become the room's focal point.

Power outagesPraisedThe millivolt system keeps working when the electricity is out, which owners value.
ControlsMixedSome find the millivolt thermostat and remote basic compared with electronic models.
InstallationMixedOwners note the vent kit, framing and finishing make it a bigger project than expected.
Heat circulationCriticisedWithout a blower, some say heat stays near the fireplace instead of spreading through the room.

Questions and answers

Does the Tahoe need a chimney?: No. It is a direct vent fireplace that vents horizontally or vertically through an exterior wall with a vent kit. That lets it go on interior walls where a chimney is impossible.
Can it heat a room without electricity?: Yes. The millivolt ignition and thermostat run on the standing pilot, so the fireplace keeps working during a power outage. A blower, if added, would need power.
What is included in the box?: The fireplace, log set, tempered glass front, thermostat and remote are included. Vent pipe, termination kit, framing materials and finishing are separate.
Propane or natural gas?: Both versions exist, so order the one that matches your fuel supply. They are not field-convertible without the correct conversion kit.
How much space does it need?: The framed opening is about 37 5/8 inches high by 49 inches wide, with roughly 19 7/8 inches of depth. Check the manual's clearances to combustibles before framing.
Is it safe around children?: The tempered glass front gets hot during operation. Keep children back and consider a screen or barrier, and follow the clearance requirements.
Where is the Empire Premium Tahoe Direct Vent LP Fireplace cheapest?: At F.W. Webb Company, for $2,189.00, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Empire Premium Tahoe Direct Vent LP Fireplace?: Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 13 ratings.
Where can I buy the Empire Premium Tahoe Direct Vent LP Fireplace?: 9 stores we checked sell it, including eBay, F.W. Webb Company, Modern Blaze, EmpireHeat.com, North Country Fire.
