{"product_id":"white-mountain-hearth-elite-18-inch-vented-gas-burner-33-000-btu","title":"White Mountain Hearth Elite 18-Inch Vented Gas Burner, 33,000 Btu","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe White Mountain Hearth BFE18MTN is built around a single, practical premise: your existing masonry fireplace already does most of the hard work. The firebox, the flue, the hearth — it's all there. This 18-inch burner system slots in and adds reliable, variable gas heat without requiring a structural overhaul or a hardwired electrical connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 33,000 Btu, this is a serious heat source, not a decorative afterthought. The intermittent pilot ignition is battery-powered, so operation is clean and self-contained. There's no standing pilot burning gas around the clock, and no need to run electrical lines into your firebox. The variable remote control gives you full flame adjustment from across the room — which, on a cold evening, is exactly where you want to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a solid-fuel burning fireplace with a functional flue and non-combustible interior materials. Minimum clearances to keep in mind: 29 inches at the front width, 19 inches at the rear width, 14 inches of depth, and 20 inches of height. The chimney vent opening must be at least 49 square inches, and chimney height no less than 10 feet. If your existing fireplace checks those boxes, the BFE18MTN is engineered to fit cleanly within it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis burner ships as a natural gas unit and includes an LP conversion kit, so switching fuel sources later doesn't mean sourcing a separate part. The air shutter is set to 1\/16 inch open from the factory — a precise calibration detail that reflects the care built into this system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA compatible vented log set is required for installation and sold separately. The BFE18MTN is confirmed compatible with the Pioneer Refractory Vented Log Set and the Kensington Forest Ceramic Fiber Vented Log Set — both 18-inch options that pair naturally with this burner. One practical note: glass fireplace doors must remain open during operation, as this is a vented system that draws combustion air from the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a unit for every installation — it's specifically designed for solid-fuel burning fireplaces with a working flue, and it should not be used with solid fuels once converted. But for the fireplace that qualifies, the BFE18MTN delivers the kind of controlled, adjustable gas fire that makes you wonder why you were stacking wood for so long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18-inch burner rated at 33,000 Btu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery-powered intermittent pilot — no hardwired electrical connection required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable remote control for flame adjustment from anywhere in the room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural gas unit with LP conversion kit included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for installation in existing solid-fuel burning fireplaces with working flue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Pioneer Refractory and Kensington Forest 18-inch vented log sets (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum fireplace requirements: 29\" front width, 19\" rear width, 14\" depth, 20\" height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum chimney vent opening: 49 sq. in.; minimum chimney height: 10 ft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir shutter factory-set to 1\/16\" open\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlass fireplace doors must remain open during operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot compatible with solid fuel use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBurner Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18-inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBtu Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33,000 Btu\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBFE18MTN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFuel Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural Gas (with LP conversion kit included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIgnition Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntermittent Pilot with Battery Powered Electronic Ignition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVariable Remote Control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVented - for installation in solid fuel burning fireplaces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Fireplace Rear Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Fireplace Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Fireplace Front Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Fireplace Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Chimney Vent Opening\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e49 square inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Chimney Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 feet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAir Shutter Setting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/16 inch open\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand Marketed As\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite Mountain Hearth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Empire Comfort Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45054071931088,"sku":"BFE18MTN","price":1225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.shopsandersgas.com\/products\/white-mountain-hearth-elite-18-inch-vented-gas-burner-33-000-btu","provider":"Shop Sanders Gas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
