{"product_id":"empire-flint-hill-gas-log-set-30-inch-ceramic-fiber","title":"Empire Flint Hill Gas Log Set, 30-Inch, Ceramic Fiber","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Empire Flint Hill 30-inch gas log set is built around a 7-piece ceramic fiber log arrangement that produces between 27,000 and 40,000 BTU per hour — enough to mean business on a cold evening without overwhelming a modest firebox. The manual regulator runs at a 6.0\" W.C. pressure setting, with an inlet pressure range of 7.0\" to 10.5\" W.C., and the three-position control knob (high, medium, low) keeps things refreshingly uncomplicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCeramic fiber logs earn their place in premium log sets for good reason: the material holds heat well, renders convincing wood-grain detail, and holds up to repeated thermal cycling in a way that lesser materials simply don't. At 25 lbs for the complete set, the Flint Hill is substantial without being a two-person installation event.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation flexibility is a genuine strength here. The VFDM30LBN can be installed as a vent-free appliance or as a vented decorative log set in compliance with ANSI Z21.60 and the National Fuel Gas Code — giving you options depending on your fireplace configuration and local code requirements. When in doubt, confirm with a qualified installer; when everything checks out, setup is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor those who want a more polished presentation, this set is compatible with the EK-1 Embers Kit and PE-20 Platinum Embers to add glowing ember bed detail, as well as the ELH-1 and ELH-2 Fireplace Hood accessories. These are sold separately and genuinely worth considering — the difference between a log set with an ember bed and one without is visible from across the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA note on controls: the VFDM30LBN uses a manual regulator. If remote control capability is a priority, the VFDR models in this same series support a range of optional controls including battery-operated remotes, electric remotes, wall switches, and millivolt thermostats. The VFDM is the straightforward, knob-operated member of the family — reliable and without unnecessary complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Flint Hill line sits at the intersection of honest craftsmanship and practical value. This isn't a log set that announces itself with a long list of electronic features — it's one that simply looks good, performs consistently, and installs cleanly into a broad range of natural gas fireplace applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-piece ceramic fiber log set (30-inch size)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40,000 BTU\/hr maximum output; 27,000 BTU\/hr minimum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual 3-position control knob: high, medium, low\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual regulator at 6.0\" W.C. pressure setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlet pressure range: 7.0\" – 10.5\" W.C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstalls as vent-free or vented decorative appliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompliant with ANSI Z21.60 and National Fuel Gas Code\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with EK-1 Embers Kit and PE-20 Platinum Embers (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with ELH-1 and ELH-2 Fireplace Hood accessories (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips at 25 lbs — solid build, manageable installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the Empire VFD series; shares accessory compatibility with VFDR and VFDT models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\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\u003eManual Regulator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegulator Pressure Setting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.0\" W.C.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGas Inlet Pressure Max\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.5\" W.C.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGas Inlet Pressure Minimum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.0\" W.C.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBtu\/Hr Max\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBtu\/Hr Min\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30-inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePiece Count\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 pieces (6-piece log set)\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\u003eControl Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual (3-position knob: hi-med-lo)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVent-Free or Vented Decorative\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlint Hill\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem Weight Lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Comfort Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45054088052944,"sku":"VFDM30LBN","price":779.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/3999\/5088\/files\/VFDM30LB_01.jpg?v=1782711890","url":"https:\/\/www.shopsandersgas.com\/products\/empire-flint-hill-gas-log-set-30-inch-ceramic-fiber","provider":"Shop Sanders Gas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
