{"product_id":"empire-flint-hill-5-piece-ceramic-fiber-gas-log-set-18-inch","title":"Empire Flint Hill 5-Piece Ceramic Fiber Gas Log Set, 18-Inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Flint Hill is built around a vent-free Contour Burner rated at 28,000 BTU\/hr — with a minimum output of 19,000 BTU\/hr — so you can dial heat delivery to the room rather than committing to full output every time the fire is on. Five ceramic fiber logs ride above the burner and embers package, producing the layered, dimensional look that ceramic fiber does better than most materials: it holds fine surface detail and stays light enough to handle without a forklift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation flexibility is a genuine selling point here. The Flint Hill works in both masonry and prefabricated fireplaces and requires a minimum firebox depth of just 12 inches — a threshold that opens up a wide range of existing hearth openings. It ships as a vent-free gas log heater, but it can also be installed as a vented decorative appliance if your fireplace setup calls for it. Either way, the gas inlet accepts pressures between 4.5 and 10.5 inches W.C., with a pressure setting of 3.5 inches W.C. and a 1\/8-inch air shutter opening for fine combustion tuning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eControl is handled by a millivolt valve with an on\/off switch and a standing pilot — the kind of system that doesn't depend on household current to keep the fire going. Lighting is handled by push-button Piezo ignition, so there's no hunting for a long lighter. The set is also remote-ready out of the box, meaning it's compatible with the full range of VFDR-series accessories: battery-operated remote controls, electric remote controls, wall switches, remote wall thermostats, and millivolt thermostats. If you eventually want to light the fire from the couch, the wiring is already waiting for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded embers add the finishing layer of realism at the base of the logs. For those who want to build out the aesthetic further, the Flint Hill is compatible with the EK-1 Embers Kit, PE-20 Platinum Embers, and the ELH-1 and ELH-2 Fireplace Hoods — all sold separately. The complete set weighs 21 pounds, making handling and positioning during installation manageable for a solo installer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 18 inches, this log set is sized for fireplaces that don't need — or simply don't have room for — the larger format sets. The five-piece arrangement gives enough visual mass to read as a genuine wood fire without overcrowding the firebox.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28,000 BTU\/hr maximum output with 19,000 BTU\/hr minimum rate for adjustable heat delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-piece ceramic fiber log set with included embers for layered, realistic appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVent-free Contour Burner — also installable as a vented decorative appliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits masonry and prefabricated fireplaces with minimum 12-inch firebox depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMillivolt valve with on\/off switch and standing pilot — operates independently of household current\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-button Piezo ignition for reliable, tool-free lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote-ready: compatible with VFDR-series wall switches, thermostats, and remote controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGas inlet pressure range: 4.5–10.5 inches W.C.; pressure setting 3.5 inches W.C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir shutter opening: 1\/8 inch for combustion adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with EK-1 Embers Kit, PE-20 Platinum Embers, ELH-1 and ELH-2 Fireplace Hoods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21-pound total weight for manageable installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlint Hill 5-Piece 18-Inch Ceramic Fiber Log Set\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePieces\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\u003eValve Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMillivolt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBtu Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28,000 BTU\/hr\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Btu Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19,000 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\u003eControl Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMillivolt valve with on\/off switch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIgnition Method\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePush-button Piezo ignition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePilot Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStanding pilot\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\u003eRemote Ready\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncludes Embers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVent-free (can also be used as vented decorative appliance)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGas Inlet Pressure - Maximum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.5 inches W.C.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGas Inlet Pressure - Minimum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5 inches W.C.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressure Setting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5 inches W.C.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAir Shutter Opening\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/8 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem Weight Lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Comfort Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45054088347856,"sku":"VFDR18LBN","price":835.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/3999\/5088\/files\/VFDR18LB_01.jpg?v=1782711898","url":"https:\/\/www.shopsandersgas.com\/products\/empire-flint-hill-5-piece-ceramic-fiber-gas-log-set-18-inch","provider":"Shop Sanders Gas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
