Beautiful Fireplace
By BB from Manchester, Maryland on September 4, 2011
We ordered this fireplace on line. It was a little scary with a large purchase as this. We had a perfect experience with delivery in 4 days, the entire order including thermostat was the right one for our fireplace thanks to the man who called us to tell me the correct one to order. (Tyler). We had it installed and are all set for the first frost in Maryland. Thanks efireplacestore. BB
Pros:
very impressive for the size, Nutmeg is a beautiful color.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

By Tyler M. - Fireplace Specialist on November 12, 2012

Answer:
While this package does include the fireplace and the wooden mantel, a blower is not included. Please see the "Accessories" tab on this item page for the blower, as well as a few different remote control choices and a brick liner kit for the inside of the fireplace that may interest you.

What does vent free mean?
By Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional on November 7, 2012

Answer:
"Vent free" refers to a fireplace that does not require any vent piping for operation. These units accomplish this by a number of design features. Vent free units will usually have a lower BTU output than their vented counterparts, which allows them to be used safely. The units will also have a more sophisticated burner system, which ensures that all gases are burned completely and no harmful material is released into the room.

However, vent free appliances are not right for all circumstances. Because they use oxygen from within the room and release moisture as they burn, they are best used in a large, open space. Also, these units are not to be used in a bedroom, unless specified. Some models will have a 10,000 BTU limit and will be specified for bedroom use.

What conversion kit can i use?

By Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional on January 6, 2013

Answer:
Unfortunately, this appliance cannot be converted. Due to possible dangers that will arise if a vent free fireplace is incorrectly converted, most manufacturers do not offer a conversion kit. The entire vent free firebox would need to be replaced with a new unit that burns the correct fuel. I apologize that I do not have a better option for you.

By andrea from Minnesota on September 25, 2012
Can this unit be installed as a corner unit, or does it need to be on a flat wall?
By Kevin E. - Fireplace Specialist on September 25, 2012

Answer:
This particular unit could technically be installed into a corner. However, the mantel's flat back would not provide for a very aesthetically pleasing installation.

Instead, you could purchase the Vail 20,000 BTU Vent-Free Natural Gas 26 Inch Fireplace and the Empire EMBC11S Corner Wooden Mantel Cabinet individually to more appropriately fit your space.

They include the Empire Battery-Operated Remote Control, the Empire Battery-Operated Remote with Thermostat Control, the Empire Electric Remote Control, and the Empire Programmable Battery-Operated Remote Control.

Does this unit have a glass panel over the screen?
By Tyler M. - NFI Certified Specialist on March 7, 2013

Answer:
No, this vent-free fireplace has a fixed screen but no glass panel. No vent-free fireplace can utilize a glass panel because the units need to be open to the room for combustion air.

By Alex from Lamesa tx on November 5, 2011
Is this like a potable one that can be moved from one room to another as long as it is connected to natural gas?
By Kevin E. - Fireplace Specialist on November 7, 2011

Answer:
It can indeed be relocated from room to room. However, due to it's BTU rating it cannot be installed in a bedroom.

By amy from ny on February 5, 2012
I have had this unit for 3 years, and it's been great, though my the remote isn't working, but the manual switch does. What do you think is wrong?
By Kevin E. - Fireplace Specialist on February 6, 2012

Answer:
This concern could be caused by something as simple as dead batteries in the remote transmitter or receiver or by something as severe as a defective remote. I would begin by replacing all the batteries in the remote system and performing a "Learn" procedure to re-sync the transmitter to the receiver. Instructions to do so can be found in your manual that came with the remote.
