Our take on the Empire Rushmore Clean Face 35" Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Insert

The Empire Rushmore Clean Face 35" is a direct-vent gas fireplace insert that converts an existing wood-burning fireplace into a sealed, high-efficiency heater. Its TruFlame burner produces tall flames over a glowing ember bed behind a clean-face ceramic glass front, and it delivers up to 39,000 BTUs on natural gas or propane. A multifunction thermostat remote runs flame height, accent lighting and the variable-speed blower, with a Smart Thermostat mode that modulates the flame to hold room temperature. It suits larger living rooms and buyers who want wood-fire ambiance with sealed venting and remote control; against basic inserts it adds the blower, accent lighting and thermostatic modulation, though it needs a 3" x 4" direct-vent run and professional installation.

About the Empire Rushmore Clean Face 35" Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Insert

The Empire Rushmore Clean Face 35" Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Insert converts an existing wood-burning fireplace into a gas heating system. It works with masonry or factory-built fireplaces and is available for natural gas or propane. It produces up to 39,000 BTUs of supplemental heat.

Empire's TruFlame system creates large, natural-looking flames and a glowing ember bed that resembles a wood fire. The clean-face design has a ceramic glass front for an unobstructed view of the fire. The insert vents through a 3" x 4" direct vent flex system.

A multifunction remote controls variable flame height, the overhead accent light and the variable-speed blower. It works as a conventional thermostat, as a manual control, or in Smart Thermostat mode, which lowers the flame height as the room reaches the set temperature.
