{"product_id":"empire-tahoe-deluxe-36-inch-direct-vent-fireplace","title":"Empire Tahoe Deluxe 36-Inch Direct-Vent Fireplace","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tahoe Deluxe 36 leads with a 34-inch wide by 23-inch tall viewing area — enough real estate to make a fireplace the obvious focal point of any room rather than an afterthought. Behind that 20 x 30½-inch tempered glass, five ceramic fiber logs sit arranged to replicate the look of a seasoned wood fire, with the notable advantage of never needing to be chopped, stacked, or carried inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the performance side, this natural gas unit operates between 14,000 and 20,000 BTU input, delivering up to 14,600 BTU of usable heat output at 73% efficiency. That's a straightforward, honest number — enough warmth for a dedicated living space without pretending to heat an entire floor plan. The millivolt control system means the fireplace operates independently of household electricity, a practical detail that becomes quite relevant the next time the power goes out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirect-vent technology draws combustion air from outside and exhausts it back out through a single 4 x 6⅝-inch coaxial venting system, keeping indoor air quality uncompromised and installation flexible. Rough framing dimensions of 37⅜ inches wide by 35¾ inches tall by 16⅜ inches deep give builders and remodelers a defined target to work toward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApprovals for bedroom, bathroom, and mobile home installations expand where this fireplace can legitimately go — a meaningful distinction that separates it from units restricted to main living areas only. UL Listed and carrying MEA Approval Number 267-05-E, it meets the compliance standards that matter for permitting and peace of mind alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tahoe Deluxe 36 is part of the millivolt DVD series, which means it's compatible with up to seven remote control accessories — including wall switches, thermostat controls, and hand-held programmable remotes — all sold separately. An optional blower and decorative trim or facing are also available to customize the finished look. One important note: a barrier screen or door set with barrier screen is required to complete the unit and must be purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 102 lbs, this is a substantial built-in appliance designed for permanent installation. If you're planning a new build or a hearth remodel and want a fireplace that earns its wall space with a large, well-lit flame presentation and genuine installation flexibility, the Tahoe Deluxe 36 is worth a close look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e34-inch wide by 23-inch tall viewing area with 20 x 30½-inch tempered glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20,000 BTU max input \/ 14,600 BTU max output at 73% efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 ceramic fiber logs for a realistic, low-maintenance flame presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMillivolt control system operates independently of household electricity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect-vent (4 x 6⅝-inch) keeps combustion sealed from indoor air\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRough framing: 37⅜\"W x 35¾\"H x 16⅜\"D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproved for bedroom, bathroom, and mobile home installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUL Listed; MEA Approval No. 267-05-E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with up to 7 remote control accessories (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional blower and decorative trim\/facing available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrier screen or door set with barrier screen required to complete unit (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDVD36FP30N\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTahoe Deluxe 36-inch Direct-Vent Fireplace\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\u003eMaximum Btu Input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Btu Input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Btu Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14,600\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEfficiency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e73%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVenting Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect-Vent (4 x 6 5\/8 inch)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTempered Glass Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 x 30 1\/2 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eViewing Area Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eViewing Area Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 1\/16 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRough Framing Dimensions Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37 3\/8 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRough Framing Dimensions Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 3\/4 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRough Framing Dimensions Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 3\/8 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber Of Logs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\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\u003eMobile Home Approved\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBedroom Approved\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBathroom Approved\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUl Listed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMea Approval Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e267-05-E\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e102 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem Weight Lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e102.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Comfort Systems","offers":[{"title":"Natural Gas","offer_id":45054076682448,"sku":"DVD36FP30N","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Propane","offer_id":45054076715216,"sku":"DVD36FP30P","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/3999\/5088\/files\/DVD36FP30_01.jpg?v=1782711655","url":"https:\/\/www.shopsandersgas.com\/products\/empire-tahoe-deluxe-36-inch-direct-vent-fireplace","provider":"Shop Sanders Gas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
