The Empire Spirit Natural Gas Stove delivers dependable direct vent heating in a compact cast iron design for residential spaces. The Empire Spirit 22" Natural Gas Stove features an intermittent pilot ignition system that lights the pilot only when heat is needed, helping reduce continuous pilot gas consumption compared to a standing pilot system. Its sealed direct vent design draws combustion air from outdoors while safely exhausting combustion gases outside, helping maintain indoor air quality.
This freestanding stove is equipped with Empire's Slope Glaze Burner system, which combines ceramic beads, glowing embers, and a hand-painted ceramic fiber log set to produce natural-looking flames. With a heating input range of 13,500 to 19,500 BTU/hr, it provides consistent heat while the glass front allows radiant warmth to enter the room. The unit can also operate with an optional remote control or thermostat for added convenience. Finished in matte black cast iron, the Empire Spirit DVP20CC70FN combines traditional styling with modern direct vent technology while offering installation flexibility through a 4 x 6 5/8 inch venting system.
