{"product_id":"empire-flint-hill-18-inch-ceramic-fiber-gas-log-set-5-piece","title":"Empire Flint Hill 18-Inch Ceramic Fiber Gas Log Set, 5-Piece","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Empire Comfort Systems Flint Hill is a five-piece ceramic fiber gas log set built around an 18-inch dual-rated Contour burner — meaning it plays well with both vent-free installations and conventional vented fireplaces (with the flue damper secured open). That flexibility makes it a practical choice for retrofitting an existing masonry or prefabricated fireplace, or spec'ing into new construction without locking yourself into a single venting approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCeramic fiber logs are lighter and better at retaining and radiating heat than their concrete counterparts, and the Flint Hill's five-piece arrangement is sized to fill a firebox as compact as 28 inches wide at the front, 17 inches at the rear, 17 inches tall, and 12 inches deep — useful specs to have on hand before you start moving furniture. The full set weighs just 20 pounds, so setup doesn't require a second set of hands or a questionable lower-back situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeat output runs between 22,000 and 28,000 BTU, managed by a straightforward three-position Hi-Med-Low knob with manual variable flame height control. There's no electronic valve or wall switch to troubleshoot — just a reliable piezo ignition and a knob you actually turn. Rock wool embers scattered across the burner bed add an authentic glow at the base of the flame, filling in the visual detail that separates a convincing hearth from a novelty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is compatible with the Empire Comfort Systems Vent-Free\/Vented Contour Burner, and the dual rating gives you the option to run it as a primary heat source in a vent-free application or purely as a decorative appliance in a vented fireplace. Either way, propane supply is required — this set is factory-configured for liquid propane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your fireplace has been sitting idle because the old wood-burning setup became more chore than comfort, the Flint Hill offers a direct, no-drama path back to regular use. Concrete specs, honest controls, and a log arrangement designed to look like it belongs there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-piece ceramic fiber log set on an 18\" dual-rated Contour burner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-rated for both vent-free and vented fireplace installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e22,000–28,000 BTU output range for meaningful supplemental heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-position Hi-Med-Low manual knob with variable flame height control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiezo manual ignition — no electricity required at the firebox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRock wool ember bed for realistic flame appearance at the base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum firebox requirements: 28\" front width, 17\" rear width, 17\" height, 12\" depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePropane (liquid propane) fuel type\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight 20 lb. complete set weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Empire Comfort Systems Vent-Free\/Vented Contour Burner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for existing fireplaces and new construction applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLog Pieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 pieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLog Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLog Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCeramic Fiber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFuel Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePropane (Liquid Propane)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBtu Max\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBtu Min\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual with 3-position (Hi-Med-Low) knob\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIgnition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePiezo manual ignition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBurner Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\" Vent-Free\/Vented Contour burner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlame Height Control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual variable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEmber Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRock wool embers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Firebox Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Firebox Width Front\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Firebox Width Rear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Firebox Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 inches (L)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem Weight Lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Comfort Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45054087561424,"sku":"VFDM18LBP","price":649.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/3999\/5088\/files\/VFDM18LBP_01.jpg?v=1782711878","url":"https:\/\/www.shopsandersgas.com\/products\/empire-flint-hill-18-inch-ceramic-fiber-gas-log-set-5-piece","provider":"Shop Sanders Gas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
