{"product_id":"empire-vail-premium-32-vent-free-gas-fireplace-32-000-btu","title":"Empire Vail Premium 32 Vent-Free Gas Fireplace, 32,000 BTU","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt 99.9% efficiency, the Vail Premium 32 Vent-Free Gas Fireplace doesn't waste much — which is the point. Every BTU stays in the room, not the chimney (there isn't one). This is a fully self-contained, unvented system that draws on up to 32,000 BTU at peak output and steps down to 22,000 BTU at its lower setting, giving you meaningful control over heat delivery without the all-or-nothing frustration of a single-output appliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the unit is a Slope Glaze Millivolt Burner, operated via an on\/off switch with manual control. Millivolt ignition means the fireplace runs entirely on its own standing pilot — no household electricity required to keep things running. That's a quiet but important detail if you're heating a space that sees power interruptions, or simply want a system that doesn't depend on your home's electrical circuit to function.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fireplace opening measures 31\" wide by 22 7\/8\" tall, set within a framing footprint of 39.5\" wide, 36.25\" tall, and 17.875\" deep. At 96 lbs, this is a substantial unit built for a permanent installation. The package includes a hood, outer frame, and louvers finished in matte black — a clean, restrained look that doesn't fight with the surrounding décor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne important note before checkout: the Vail Premium 32 ships as a complete fireplace chassis, but a log set is required to finish the system. Two 24-inch options are available separately — a 5-piece ceramic fiber log set or a 6-piece refractory log set. Both are sized specifically for this unit; choose based on your preference for visual texture and aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe system is also designed with expansion in mind. Compatible optional accessories include faux brick liners to dress the firebox interior, a blower (model FBB5) to circulate warm air more actively through the room, doors, mantel cabinets, and both remote controls and thermostat remotes. None of these are required, but they're worth considering at the time of purchase if you're planning a finished installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vail Premium 32 is a well-specified, professionally oriented unit for buyers who want documented performance numbers, a clean installation footprint, and the flexibility to finish the system to their own taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32,000 BTU max output \/ 22,000 BTU min output for adjustable heat delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e99.9% efficiency rating — vent-free design keeps heat in the room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlope Glaze Millivolt Burner with on\/off switch and manual control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMillivolt ignition operates independently of household electricity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e31\" wide x 22 7\/8\" tall fireplace opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFraming dimensions: 39.5\"W x 36.25\"H x 17.875\"D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes hood, outer frame, and matte black louvers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLog set required to complete system (5-piece ceramic fiber or 6-piece refractory, both 24\", sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with optional blower model FBB5 for active air circulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccepts optional remote controls and thermostat remotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional faux brick liners, doors, and mantel cabinets available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e96 lbs — built for permanent installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVail Premium 32 Vent-Free Gas 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\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBtu Max\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBtu Min\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEfficiency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e99.9%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBurner Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlope Glaze Millivolt Burner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFireplace Opening Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 7\/8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFireplace Opening Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFraming Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36 1\/4\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFraming Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 1\/2\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFraming Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 7\/8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e96 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncludes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHood, Outer Frame, Louvers in Matte Black, Slope Glaze Millivolt Burner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOn\/Off Switch with Manual Control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFireplace Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnvented (Vent-Free)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItem Weight Lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e96.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Comfort Systems","offers":[{"title":"Natural Gas","offer_id":45054092869840,"sku":"VFPA32BP30LN","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Propane","offer_id":45054092902608,"sku":"VFPA32BP30LP","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/3999\/5088\/files\/VFPA32BP30L_01.jpg?v=1782712007","url":"https:\/\/www.shopsandersgas.com\/products\/empire-vail-premium-32-vent-free-gas-fireplace-32-000-btu","provider":"Shop Sanders Gas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
