The Empire Spirit Natural Gas Stove delivers efficient supplemental heating in a freestanding cast iron design with a matte black finish. This Empire Spirit Gas Stove uses a vent free system with an intermittent pilot ignition that eliminates a standing pilot, helping reduce gas consumption while providing reliable operation through the included on/off switch. Designed with Empire's Contour burner system, this Vent Free Stove creates vibrant flames with a hand-painted ceramic fiber log set and glowing embers for a realistic fireplace appearance.
With an input of up to 25,000 BTU, the stove is suitable for spaces requiring dependable heat while offering installation flexibility because vent-free technology removes the need for a venting system. The fully operable decorative cast iron doors and detailed cast iron construction provide a traditional stove appearance, while compatibility with optional remote controls, thermostat controls, blower, shelving, and floor pad accessories allows the system to be configured to suit different installation preferences. The included Contour burner uses ceramic beads to produce natural flame movement, creating the visual effect of a wood-burning fire while maintaining an efficiency rating of up to 99.9%.
