Designed to drop into an existing, fully vented wood-burning fireplace with a gas hook-up and open damper, it converts an underused hearth into a dependable heat source without a full remodel. The 30-inch footprint requires a minimum fireplace width of 30 inches, so measure twice and enjoy the warmth once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe integrated radiant fiber heat sink is central to how this burner works. Rather than simply heating the air in front of the firebox, the fiber heat sink glows and radiates warmth outward—a meaningfully different experience from a basic open-flame burner. It is UL Certified and configured at the factory for Natural Gas, with an included LP Conversion Kit for installations where only propane is available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIgnition is handled by a battery-powered Intermittent Pilot (IPI) system, which means no standing pilot light burning gas around the clock. The pilot lights on demand, the fire starts, and when you're done, everything shuts down cleanly. The included variable flame remote control lets you adjust the flame height from across the room—because the ideal seat by the fire is rarely the one closest to the controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a vented fireplace equipped with a damper clamp to hold the damper in the open position during operation, and a minimum chimney height of 10 feet. The gas pressure range runs from 6.0 to 10.5 inches water column, with the regulator preset at 5.3 inches. All of these specifics matter at the installation stage, and a qualified gas technician should be involved in that process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne compatibility note worth underscoring: the BFE30MTN is designed to work exclusively with the Kensington Forest or Pioneer Log Set. It is not a universal burner, and pairing it with another log set is not supported. This specificity is intentional—the radiant system and the log sets are engineered together for a result that looks and performs cohesively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt $1,265.00, this is a considered purchase for homeowners who want reliable, controllable gas heat from an existing fireplace opening—delivered with the kind of build quality and certification that holds up over years of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e65,000 BTU output from a 30-inch Elite Radiant Vented Burner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated radiant fiber heat sink for efficient, glowing heat distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery-powered Intermittent Pilot (IPI) ignition — no standing pilot light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable flame remote control included for adjustable heat from across the room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural Gas configuration with LP Conversion Kit included in the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible exclusively with Kensington Forest or Pioneer Log Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires existing fully vented wood-burning fireplace with gas hook-up and open damper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDamper clamp compatible — keeps damper safely open during operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum chimney height: 10 feet | Minimum fireplace width: 30 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGas pressure range: 6.0\" to 10.5\" WC | Regulator preset at 5.3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUL Certified for verified safety and performance standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBtu Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65,000 BTU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFuel Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural Gas (NG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVenting Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVented\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBurner Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElite Radiant Vented\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIgnition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElectronic Ignition (Battery Powered IP\/IPI)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePilot Valve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntermittent Pilot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemote Control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVariable Flame Remote Control Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeat Sink\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegrated Radiant Fiber Heat Sink\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUL Certified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConversion Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLP Conversion Kit Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegulator Pressure Setting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.3\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGas Pressure Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.0\" \/ 10.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Chimney Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 feet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Fireplace Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Comfort Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45054071996624,"sku":"BFE30MTN","price":1265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.shopsandersgas.com\/products\/empire-comfort-systems-elite-radiant-vented-burner-30-inch","provider":"Shop Sanders Gas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
