Empire Tahoe

Zero-clearance means the fireplace is engineered to be installed directly against combustible materials like wood framing or drywall. This makes it a versatile choice for renovations or new builds where space is at a premium, as you don't need to build a large, non-combustible buffer zone around the unit.

Yes, this model is available in both natural gas and propane configurations. You must specify your fuel type at the time of purchase, as the burner and valve systems are calibrated differently for each gas source.

The Empire Tahoe produces 20,000 BTUs, which is ideal for supplemental heating in a medium-sized room or living area. It is designed more for creating ambiance and localized warmth rather than acting as a primary heating source for an entire home.

The unit comes standard with a flat black interior. If you prefer a different aesthetic, such as a brick or reflective liner, those are sold as optional accessories that you can install to customize the look of your firebox.

No, this is a direct-vent fireplace, meaning it uses a dedicated pipe system to draw fresh air from outside for combustion and exhaust the byproducts back outside. It can be vented horizontally through an exterior wall or vertically through the roof, eliminating the need for a traditional masonry chimney.
