{"product_id":"empire-tahoe-36-inch-direct-vent-traditional-fireplace-clean-face","title":"Empire Tahoe 36-Inch Direct Vent Traditional Fireplace, Clean Face","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt 26,000 BTU and 36 inches wide, the Empire Tahoe direct vent fireplace is built around a straightforward premise: a traditional fire, done properly. The clean-face design keeps the surround uninterrupted, giving your chosen mantel or tile work the room it deserves rather than competing with a bulky facade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirect vent technology draws combustion air from outside and exhausts it the same way, which means the fire isn't borrowing warmth from the room to feed itself — a quiet but meaningful efficiency advantage. The sealed firebox also keeps indoor air quality unaffected, a detail that matters more the longer you actually think about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe electronic ignition system lights reliably and consistently, and the built-in battery back-up ensures the fireplace remains fully operational during a power outage — which, let's be honest, is exactly when you most want a working fire. Note that this model is not compatible with standing pilot configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis unit ships as the firebox itself; a log set is required to complete the installation and is sold separately. From there, the accessory options let you build the fireplace to your specific needs: a ceramic fiber liner adds a traditional ember-bed aesthetic to the firebox interior, a variable-speed blower helps distribute heat more actively throughout the room, a lighting kit enhances the visual ambiance, and optional remote controls put everything at your fingertips rather than at the firebox.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether the project is a new build or a thoughtful renovation, the Tahoe's combination of 36-inch scale, clean-face styling, and direct vent flexibility covers a wide range of installation scenarios without requiring compromises on the things that make a fireplace worth having in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e26,000 BTU heat output from a 36-inch direct vent firebox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean-face traditional design keeps the surround uncluttered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect vent system seals combustion from indoor air for cleaner, more efficient operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronic ignition with battery back-up — reliable even during power outages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot compatible with standing pilot models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLog set required to complete the unit (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional ceramic fiber liner for enhanced firebox aesthetics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional variable-speed blower for active heat distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional lighting kit available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with optional remote control systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBtu Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26,000 BTU\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\u003eFireplace Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIgnition Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElectronic Ignition with Battery Back-up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVenting Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect Vent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesign Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClean Face Traditional\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Comfort Systems","offers":[{"title":"Natural Gas","offer_id":45054074192080,"sku":"DVCP36BP70N","price":2589.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Propane","offer_id":45054074224848,"sku":"DVCP36BP70P","price":2589.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/3999\/5088\/files\/DVCP36BP70_01.jpg?v=1782711603","url":"https:\/\/www.shopsandersgas.com\/products\/empire-tahoe-36-inch-direct-vent-traditional-fireplace-clean-face","provider":"Shop Sanders Gas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
