The Empire Spirit 22" Natural Gas Stove is a compact Direct Vent stove designed to provide dependable supplemental or primary heat while keeping combustion air separate from indoor living spaces. This Empire Spirit Gas stove features a porcelain black cast iron exterior and a millivolt ignition system with an integrated on/off switch, allowing operation even during many winter power outages because it does not rely on household electricity for basic function. The direct vent design uses outside air for combustion and vents exhaust outdoors, supporting efficient and sealed operation.
Inside, Empire's Slope Glaze Burner system combines ceramic beads, glowing embers, and a hand-painted four-piece ceramic fiber log set to create naturally moving flames with the appearance of a traditional wood fire. The expanded ember bed enhances the visual presentation while maintaining the performance of a gas heating appliance. This Empire Spirit Natural Gas stove is designed for freestanding installation and supports optional remote control or thermostat operation. With an input range of 13,500 to 19,500 BTU/hr, it delivers steady heat output in a compact footprint while maintaining the classic appearance of a cast iron stove.
