{"product_id":"empire-flint-hill-24-inch-ceramic-fiber-gas-log-set-34-000-btu","title":"Empire Flint Hill 24-Inch Ceramic Fiber Gas Log Set, 34,000 BTU","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Empire Flint Hill log set runs on a vent-free contour burner rated at 34,000 BTU\/hr — a meaningful heat output for a gas log set, not just a flickering decoration. The five ceramic fiber log pieces are shaped and finished to read as real wood, while the contour burner beneath them keeps the flame pattern natural-looking and the heat distribution even across the firebox.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eControl is handled through a standing millivolt pilot and piezo push-button ignition. That means no 110V outlet required at the firebox, and no hunting for a battery compartment when you want a fire. Press the piezo, establish the pilot, and the valve does the rest. Because the system is millivolt-based, it pairs cleanly with the full range of Empire remote and thermostat accessories — including battery-operated remotes (FRBC, FRBTC), an electric remote control (FREC), a wired wall switch (FWS), a remote wall thermostat (TRW), and a millivolt reed switch thermostat (TMV). If your preference is a wall switch over a handheld remote, that works too. The burner ships remote-ready; the choice of interface is yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSafety is handled by a built-in Oxygen Depletion System (ODS), which monitors oxygen levels in the room and shuts the burner down automatically before concentrations drop to a hazardous level. This is a code-required feature for vent-free appliances, and it operates passively — no user attention required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation fits existing masonry or factory-built fireplaces as well as new construction openings. The minimum firebox requirements are 30 inches front width, 23 inches rear width, 12 inches depth, and 18 inches height — worth confirming before purchase. The unit can also be installed in a vented fireplace with the flue damper blocked open for purely decorative use, which trades heat efficiency for the flexibility of an open-flue look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOutput is adjustable between 24,000 and 34,000 BTU\/hr, so you're not locked into full fire on a mild evening. The 23-pound set weight keeps installation manageable, and the complete kit includes both the logs and the burner assembly — nothing additional required to fire it up, though optional accessories like the EK-1 Embers Kit, PE-20 Platinum Embers, and ELH-1 or ELH-2 Fireplace Hoods are available if you want to finish the look further. Standard 24-inch ember packets (15998) are also compatible for added glow depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt $919, the Flint Hill is priced as a complete heating appliance, not a cosmetic accessory — because that's exactly what it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-piece ceramic fiber log set with vent-free contour burner — complete system, no additional components required to operate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e34,000 BTU\/hr maximum input with adjustable output down to 24,000 BTU\/hr\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiezo push-button ignition with standing millivolt pilot — no electrical outlet needed at the firebox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote-ready millivolt valve compatible with Empire FRBC, FRBTC, FREC, FWS, TRW, and TMV control accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Oxygen Depletion System (ODS) shuts the burner down automatically if room oxygen drops to unsafe levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits fireplaces with minimum 30\" front width, 23\" rear width, 12\" depth, and 18\" height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstalls in unvented applications as a heater, or in vented fireplaces (damper blocked open) for decorative use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with optional EK-1 Embers Kit, PE-20 Platinum Embers, and ELH-1\/ELH-2 Fireplace Hoods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural gas fuel type; 23 lbs total set weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLog Set Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLog Piece Count\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 pieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\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\u003eNatural Gas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMillivolt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBtu Input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34,000 BTU\/hr\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Btu Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24,000 BTU\/hr\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBurner Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVent-Free Contour Burner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnvented Gas Log Heater \/ Vented Decorative Appliance\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\u003eIgnition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePiezo push-button ignition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePilot Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStanding pilot with millivolt valve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSafety Feature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOxygen Depletion System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem Weight Lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Comfort Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45054088872144,"sku":"VFDR24LBN","price":919.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/3999\/5088\/files\/VFDR24LB_01.jpg?v=1782711911","url":"https:\/\/www.shopsandersgas.com\/products\/empire-flint-hill-24-inch-ceramic-fiber-gas-log-set-34-000-btu","provider":"Shop Sanders Gas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
