The Empire Spirit Direct Vent stove is a freestanding cast iron heating appliance designed for homes requiring dependable natural gas heating with sealed combustion technology. The Empire Spirit Natural Gas stove uses a direct vent system that draws combustion air from outdoors while exhausting combustion by-products outside, helping separate room air from the combustion process. This design makes the Empire Spirit Gas stove suitable for installation along an exterior wall or through the roof when properly vented.
This model features a matte black cast iron finish, a millivolt ignition system with a standing pilot, and a concealed on/off switch located on the rear of the stove. The direct vent burner incorporates Empire's Slope Glaze Burner system with ceramic beads that create naturally moving flames, complemented by a hand-painted ceramic fiber log set and glowing ember bed for a realistic fire appearance. With an input range of 13,500 to 19,500 BTU per hour, this Direct Vent stove can serve as a primary heat source where appropriate. It can also operate with optional remote control or thermostat accessories and is capable of providing heat during a winter power outage when installed according to manufacturer requirements.
