The Empire Spirit Natural Gas Stove is a compact direct vent cast iron heating appliance designed to provide dependable room heating while keeping combustion air separate from indoor living spaces. The Empire Spirit Gas Stove uses a direct vent system with outside air intake and external exhaust, helping maintain indoor air quality while delivering efficient heat output. Its intermittent pilot ignition eliminates the need for a continuously burning pilot, helping reduce gas consumption when the stove is not operating.
This Empire Spirit 22 Inch Natural Gas Stove features Empire's Slope Glaze Burner system with an expanded ember bed, ceramic beads that create naturally moving flames, and a hand-painted ceramic fiber log set for a realistic wood fire appearance. The sealed combustion chamber and glass front allow heat to transfer into the room while maintaining a controlled combustion environment. Designed for freestanding installation, the stove can operate using the integrated on/off switch and is compatible with optional remote control or thermostat systems. The package includes the cast iron stove, 4-piece log set, fireplace barrier screen, and Slope Glaze Burner. A required 45-degree elbow and other optional accessories are sold separately.
