The Empire Spirit 22 Inch Propane Gas Stove Direct Vent Matte Black Finish DVP20CC70FP is a compact cast iron heating stove designed for freestanding installation with a direct vent system. As part of the Empire Spirit Gas Stove lineup, this model uses an intermittent pilot ignition system that eliminates a standing pilot, helping reduce gas consumption while providing reliable startup through the integrated on/off switch. The sealed direct vent design draws combustion air from outdoors while venting exhaust outside, helping keep indoor air separate from the combustion process.
This Empire Spirit Propane Gas Stove features Empire's Slope Glaze Burner system with an expanded ember bed, ceramic beads that create naturally swirling flames, and a hand-painted ceramic fiber log set for a realistic fire appearance. With an input range of 13,500 to 19,500 BTU/hr, it is suitable for use as a primary heat source where appropriate. The stove can also operate with optional remote control or thermostat accessories for added convenience. Finished in matte black, this direct vent cast iron stove includes a 4-piece log set, fireplace barrier screen, and Slope Glaze Burner, while additional accessories and venting components are available separately to complete the installation.
