{"product_id":"empire-vail-26-vent-free-fireplace-30-wide-millivolt-ignition","title":"Empire Vail 26 Vent-Free Fireplace, 30\" Wide, Millivolt Ignition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Empire Vail 26 (Model VFD26FP30L10P) is a vent-free, zero-clearance fireplace with a 471 sq. in. viewing area — 26\" wide by 18.12\" tall — framed in a matte black metal interior and finished with black unitized louvers and a matching black exterior trim kit. At 30\" wide and 30.25\" tall, it's sized for meaningful visual presence without demanding a room redesign.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it's vent-free, no flue, chase, or venting products are required. Rough framing dimensions of 30.25\" W x 30.37\" H x 13.25\" D make planning a built-in installation straightforward. The unit ships complete with logs, the Empire Contour Burner System, black frame, hood, and louvers — the essentials are included, not itemized separately as add-ons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Contour Burner System is Empire's own design, developed to produce a realistic, layered flame pattern. Rock wool is included to round out the log bed presentation. A fixed fire screen is also part of the package, which is one less decision to make at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIgnition is millivolt with an on\/off switch — a system that operates independently of household current, so a power outage doesn't mean a cold room. Millivolt also means full compatibility with Empire's range of optional remote control accessories, if you'd prefer to manage the fire from the couch rather than the hearth. No judgment either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 10,000 BTU, this model is approved for bedroom installations where permitted by local codes — a specification worth noting if you're planning a master suite or a guest room feature fireplace. Always verify applicable local regulations before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vail 26 is part of Empire's VFD26 Series and is designed for built-in and custom mantel applications. It's compatible with optional Empire cabinet mantels and corner cabinet mantels, available in cherry, dark oak, nutmeg, oak, white, unfinished hardwood, and unfinished oak finishes — a range broad enough to suit most interior palettes without requiring a custom build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnit weight is 66 lbs.
