{"product_id":"empire-vail-36-vent-free-peninsula-fireplace-three-sided-viewing","title":"Empire Vail 36 Vent-Free Peninsula Fireplace, Three-Sided Viewing","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree sides of open flame visibility is not something most fireplaces can claim. The Empire Vail 36 Peninsula Fireplace (VFP36PP32EN) is built specifically for peninsula installations — think kitchen islands of fire — delivering a 360-degree-minus-one-wall viewing experience that a standard insert simply cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the unit sits a 24-inch Slope Glaze Vista Burner rated between 25,000 and 38,000 BTU\/hr, giving you real heat output and real flame character. The banded brick ceramic fiber liner frames the burner in a classic hearth aesthetic, while the included rockwool glowing embers fill the base with the kind of warm, realistic glow that makes a room feel lived-in rather than staged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVent-free construction means no chimney, no flue, and no exterior wall penetration required — making this fireplace genuinely flexible in placement. An Oxygen Depletion Sensor monitors air quality automatically and shuts the unit down before CO becomes a concern, so the vent-free convenience doesn't come at the expense of safety. The standing pilot with piezo ignitor and millivolt control valve operate independently of your home's electrical system — a quiet but meaningful detail when the power goes out in January.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOut of the box, the Vail 36 Peninsula arrives with a junction box, matte black hood, and matte black slat louvers already in the package. The compatible LSU24RR-2 Refractory Log Set (sold separately) adds the finishing layer of realism. From there, the accessory ecosystem is extensive: the FBB5 Variable Speed Blower Kit circulates heat more efficiently, the SCV-1 wall-mounted speed control keeps the room at your preferred comfort level, and frame kits in Black, Brass, Stainless Steel, and Hammered Pewter let you dial in the aesthetic. An optional Accent Light Kit mounts inside the top of the firebox for ambient illumination, and the White Mountain Hearth LK2-120V Lighting Kit with Dimmer Control adds another layer of atmosphere control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit measures 39 inches wide, 37¾ inches tall (without standoff), and 24 inches deep, with a 3\/8-inch gas inlet and an operating pressure range of 5–10.5 inches water column. At 147 pounds, it's built with the kind of material weight that suggests longevity rather than compromise. A 5-year limited warranty backs the investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your project calls for a fireplace that anchors a room from the center rather than hiding against a wall, the Vail 36 Peninsula was designed with exactly that purpose in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-sided peninsula viewing configuration — open flame visible from three directions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38,000 BTU\/hr maximum output (25,000 BTU\/hr minimum) via 24-inch Slope Glaze Vista Burner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVent-free installation — no chimney or flue required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) for built-in air quality safety shutoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMillivolt ignition with standing pilot — operates without household electricity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBanded brick ceramic fiber liner for classic hearth aesthetics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes matte black hood, matte black slat louvers, junction box, and rockwool glowing embers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with LSU24RR-2 Refractory Log Set (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with FBB5 Variable Speed Blower Kit and SCV-1 wall-mounted speed control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame kits available in Black, Brass, Stainless Steel, and Hammered Pewter finishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional Accent Light Kit and White Mountain Hearth LK2-120V Lighting Kit with Dimmer Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e39\"W x 37¾\"H x 24\"D overall dimensions; 3\/8-inch gas inlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-year limited warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePremium Vent-Free Peninsula 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\u003eIgnition Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMillivolt Control with Standing Pilot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Btu Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38,000 BTU\/Hr\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Btu Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25,000 BTU\/Hr\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Height (Without Standoff)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37 3\/4 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGas Inlet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/8 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eViewing Configuration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThree open sides (Peninsula configuration)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBurner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24-inch Slope Glaze Vista Burner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLiner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBanded Brick Ceramic Fiber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Components\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJunction Box, matte black hood, matte black slat louvers, glowing embers (rockwool)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Log Set\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLSU24RR-2 Refractory Log Set\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSafety Features\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOxygen Depletion Sensor, standing pilot with piezo ignitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eValve Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMillivolt Pilot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural Gas Inlet Pressure Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-10.5 inches Water Column\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-year limited warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem Weight Lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e147.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Comfort Systems","offers":[{"title":"Natural Gas","offer_id":45054092214480,"sku":"VFP36PP32EN","price":3029.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Propane","offer_id":45054092247248,"sku":"VFP36PP32EP","price":3029.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/3999\/5088\/files\/VFP36PP32E_01.jpg?v=1782711990","url":"https:\/\/www.shopsandersgas.com\/products\/empire-vail-36-vent-free-peninsula-fireplace-three-sided-viewing","provider":"Shop Sanders Gas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
