North Country Fire Empire Rushmore Direct Vent Gas Insert

This unit is specifically engineered for masonry fireplaces. Before purchasing, ensure your existing fireplace meets the minimum opening dimensions and venting requirements specified in the installation manual to ensure a proper fit.

The integrated blower is designed for efficient heat circulation, but like any fan, it will produce a low hum when running. You can adjust the speed using the multi-function remote to balance heat output with your preferred noise level.

The Rushmore uses TruFlame Technology, which focuses on creating a natural-looking flame pattern and a glowing ember bed. While it won't replicate the crackle or scent of wood, it provides a highly convincing visual experience without the maintenance of real logs.

The accent lighting adds depth to the firebox, illuminating the logs and ember bed even when the main burner is turned off. It creates a soft, ambient glow that enhances the fireplace's appearance during the day or when you want a subtle mood light.

The fine mesh barrier screen is a critical safety feature designed to prevent accidental contact with the glass. It is intended to remain in place during operation, though it is designed to be unobtrusive so it doesn't obstruct your view of the flames.

Yes, the multi-function thermostat remote allows you to adjust the flame height and blower speed. This gives you direct control over the heat output, letting you dial in the comfort level for your specific room size.
