The Empire Spirit 22" Vent-Free Cast Iron Stove VFD20CC30BN is a natural gas heating appliance designed for freestanding installation and reliable supplemental warmth. Built with a millivolt ignition system, it uses a standing pilot that can be activated via a pushbutton piezo ignitor and controlled through an on/off switch located on the unit or compatible optional remote systems.
This model delivers up to 20,000 BTUs of heating output, providing efficient heat distribution without the need for venting, which simplifies installation requirements. The stove features Empire’s Contour burner system, designed to enhance flame movement and ember glow through precision-port technology and ceramic bead gas interaction.
A hand-painted ceramic fiber log set and glowing embers contribute to a realistic fire appearance. Fully operable cast iron doors add functional accessibility and visual authenticity. With its porcelain black finish and richly detailed casting, this stove is engineered for installation versatility while maintaining consistent performance during operation, including during power outages where applicable.
