{"product_id":"empire-vail-24-vent-free-fireplace-with-millivolt-control","title":"Empire Vail 24\" Vent-Free Fireplace with Millivolt Control","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Empire Vail 24\" vent-free fireplace measures 22 5\/8\" wide by 26 1\/2\" tall by 11\" deep — compact dimensions that open up installation possibilities most fireplaces can't touch. No chimney, no venting, and with millivolt controls that operate entirely without electricity, no dependence on your home's wiring either. That last point matters more than it sounds: when the power goes out on a cold night, this fireplace keeps working.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOutput is rated at 10,000 BTU for both natural gas and propane configurations, making it well-suited for supplemental zone heating in smaller rooms or finished spaces. The intermittent pilot ignition system with on\/off switch keeps things straightforward, and the millivolt control system is fully remote-ready — compatible with standard Empire battery-operated remote controls, sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFraming dimensions of 23 1\/4\" wide by 26 3\/4\" tall by 11 1\/4\" deep give builders and installers a clean, predictable rough opening to work with. At 51 lbs., it's manageable for a two-person installation without specialized equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vail 24\" is designed with a meaningful accessories ecosystem. Field-installed liner options include Aged Brick and Traditional Brick for a classic hearth aesthetic. A blower can be added for improved heat distribution. Platinum embers, a hammered pewter outer steel frame, and both standard and corner mantel options let you finish the installation to match your space rather than compromising on the look. None of these accessories are included — they're available separately and installed in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's worth noting what \"vent-free\" actually means in practice: no flue, no chimney liner, no exterior wall penetration. That simplicity is a genuine advantage in renovation projects, additions, or any room where traditional venting isn't feasible. Proper room sizing and local code compliance always apply — consult installation documentation for specifics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vail 24\" occupies a sensible middle ground: substantial enough to anchor a room visually, modest enough in its footprint to install in spaces where a larger unit would be impractical. The finish details are where it becomes yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10,000 BTU output on both natural gas and propane configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVent-free design — no chimney, flue, or exterior wall penetration required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMillivolt controls operate without electricity — functional even during power outages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntermittent pilot ignition with on\/off switch for reliable, consistent starts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote-ready: compatible with standard Empire battery-operated remote controls (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 11\" depth fits installations where full-depth fireplaces cannot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFraming dimensions: 23 1\/4\" W x 26 3\/4\" H x 11 1\/4\" D for a clean rough opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips at 51 lbs. — manageable two-person installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eField-installable liners available in Aged Brick and Traditional Brick finishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional blower accessory for improved heat distribution (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with hammered pewter outer steel frame and platinum embers (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard and corner mantel options available to complete the installation\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\u003eVFP24FP30L10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSku\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVFP24FP30L10N\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBtu Natural Gas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBtu Lp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFuel Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural Gas or Propane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIgnition System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntermittent Pilot with On\/Off Switch\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\u003eActual Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 5\/8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eActual Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26 1\/2\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eActual Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFraming Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26 3\/4\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFraming Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 1\/4\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFraming Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 1\/4\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVent-Free Fireplace\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVail 24\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem Weight Lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Comfort Systems","offers":[{"title":"Natural Gas","offer_id":45054091395280,"sku":"VFP24FP30L10N","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Propane","offer_id":45054091428048,"sku":"VFP24FP30L10P","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/3999\/5088\/files\/VFP24FP30L10_01.jpg?v=1782711968","url":"https:\/\/www.shopsandersgas.com\/products\/empire-vail-24-vent-free-fireplace-with-millivolt-control","provider":"Shop Sanders Gas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
