About This Product

The Birch Vented Gas Log Set from Empire

Enjoy mesmerizing flames and flickering light without hauling in the logs, lighting the kindling, tending the fire, and hauling out the ash. Vented log sets are all about convenience, ambience, and good looks - and that precisely what you get with the Birch Vented Gas Log Set from Empire. 

Empire Birch Vented Gas Log Set Features

  • Available in (3) sizes: 18", 24" and 30"
  • Up to 75,000 BTUs for tall, brilliant flames
  • Ceramic fiber logs that are lightweight, durable and excellent at retaining heat - making them an energy efficient choice
  • Hand painted for realistic wood appearance
  • Realistic glowing embers
  • A clean presentation - the ugly parts (valve/controls) are hidden for a more appealing visual experience
  • Multiple control options to choose from:

Vented Slope Glaze Burner with Millivolt Gas Valve

The vented slope glaze burner that accompanies your logs features precision ports that position the flames to complement the log set. Inside the burner, gas flows through a bed of precisely sized ceramic pellets that tumble and swirl the gas as it mixes with the air. The result is a cleaner burning fire with natural flame movement. 

Control Options:

The vented slope glaze burner has a millivolt gas valve with the following control options:

  • Manual (Remote Ready) - on/off switch on the side of the burner and is ready to paid with any millivolt remote control (doesn't have to be Empire/White Mountain Hearth remote control). 
  • Wall Switch 
  • On/Off Remote - both remote and receiver are battery powered
  • On/Off Remote with Electric Receiver - battery powered remote with electric receiver

    Warranty

    In the unlikely event your product experiences a defect, our technical team will guide you through the manufacturer’s warranty process. Here is a general outline of what to expect.

    Due to the technical nature of our products, the manufacturer must perform troubleshooting to process a warranty claim. Your installer will need to troubleshoot the problem on-site while working in tandem with our technical team. If troubleshooting leads to what The Torch Guys deems as a defective part, we will submit a warranty claim to the manufacturer on your behalf. Before we submit the claim, we will ask you to review the terms and confirm your consent to proceed.

    Once the claim is submitted, the manufacturer will review it and either approve or deny it. If they have all the information and accept the claim, your warranty replacement part(s) will begin processing for shipment. If, for any reason, the claim is denied or we need more information, we will notify you as soon as possible.

    All warranties are processed as exchanges. You can expect to receive a prepaid return label for the defective part(s), which must be returned within 30 days of receiving the warranty replacement(s).

    Warranty claims can take anywhere from 1-4 weeks to process, depending on the season. Given the length of time claims can take, we recommend you fire up your unit in late summer/early fall to ensure your existing fireplace is in good working order for the winter season.

    Excellent customer service and buying experience

    The customer service was outstanding from the moment we called The Torch Guys to order our new Dimplex fireplace. We needed the fireplace quickly due to our remodel schedule. We received the unit within 4 days of ordering. The delivery company they hired was efficient and the unit arrived with no issues.

    Exceptional owners/service

    Never have I had a company work so hard to assist me. They went above and beyond what any other store most likely would do. The replacement fireplace I needed was discontinued. These guys worked to help me find a fireplace with minimal adjustments needed. The packaging was over the top and shipping fast.

    Product shipped extremely fast, however, it was damaged during shipment. I contacted customer support and they had it replaced within a few days. No hassle, very professional. I couldn’t be happier.

    Beautiful electric fireplace!

    The Torch Guys were great to work with! They followed up on my purchase to make sure I was pleased with my order. I love the fireplace and was the perfect size for my space. It was easy to install and has so many options including color, speed, timer and can use it to produce heat. I had one question about the screw sizes and Clinton helped me immediately. I highly recommend their products and would purchase with them again!

    Spectacular 5-Star Experience Thanks to Julia!

    I had the pleasure of working with Julia. She is so lovely and her customer care, product knowledge, and hospitality skills were impeccable in every way. This was one of the best online shopping experiences of my life. Oh, and Julia’s sweet southern accent was quite a nice departure from blasé Californians Lol. Do yourself a favor and call Julia to purchase your electric fireplace, I assure you won’t be disappointed. Extremely satisfied!

    Great Service and Delivery

    I bought an Amantii Cube from The Torch Guys and their service was terrific. They were great with answering questions, and the order shipped and arrived very quickly. They've followed up sharing the product is registered under warranty (done by them). All and all, very comfortable recommending them.

    Very easy to communicate with, and shipping experience was perfect. We are still in the process of installing because of our new-build schedule, so can't really comment on the fireplace itself.
