When you are ready, the system lights on demand. From there, electronic variable flame control lets you dial in the flame to suit the moment — whether that is a low, ambient flicker or the full dramatic output of all 55,000 BTU.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Elite Radiant Vented Burner classification is an important distinction: this unit operates as a decorative vented system. It requires a proper chimney with a minimum height of 10 feet, and it is not rated as a primary heat source, nor can it be converted to vent-free operation. What it delivers instead is a convincing, beautifully rendered fire that pairs exclusively with two compatible log sets: the Pioneer Refractory Vented Log Set and the Kensington Forest Ceramic Fiber Vented Log Set. Compatibility is not flexible on this point — those are the two options, and they are the right ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShips standard configured for natural gas, with a regulator pressure setting of 5.3 inches WC and an operating gas pressure range of 6.0 to 10.5 inches WC.
