Does this have glass doors?
1 Answer
It does not. Because this is a vent free unit, it will only have a safety screen. This allows heat transfer to occur between the unit and the room.

How long will the unit run on a 100 lb tank of propane?
1 Answer
This fireplace has a BTU rating of 20,000, so it would take about four and a half hours of operation at maximum input for it to use one gallon of propane. As such, it would take over 450 hours of operation at maximum to deplete the 100 gallon tank.

A Great Addition to Our Home
We recently purchased a ventless propane fireplace for our new sunroom so that we could enjoy it all year round. The Empire 26 was a great choice and looks great on the raised platform; we prepared to feature it as the focal point of the room. The only disappointments are that it was not equipped with a remote and the flame control level shows little difference from low to high, making the flame pretty much the same all the time. All in all, we are very happy with our purchase, the ease of the transaction, the speedy well-packaged shipping to the door, and the quality of the product.

Exceptional Service
Recently ordered a new gas vent-free fireplace for my kitchen. I did a lot of research and eFireplaceStore offered the greatest selection and prices. I placed my order on a Sunday and by Wednesday, 3 days later I had my new fireplace. The item was packed well and I had no problem assembling and installing the unit. I ordered a great amount of items online and sometimes companies can't promise what they say. eFireplaceStore delivered on all that they said they would. Great experience.

Perfect addition!
We bought this as a gift for my son's family. It was installed earlier this week and already in use. They love the fireplace. Not only is it beautiful but it is very functional. I am sure they will love it for many years to come. It arrived within a few days after it was ordered. We are 100% pleased with the whole process.

Heats Like Crazy
After researching vent free gas fireplaces for a couple of months I chose this one. I wanted white and one that was not too big or too small and this is just the right size. I have a small 50 ish cottage and by the end of the day the low setting is heating the whole house. The electricity went out for about a hour and it sure was nice to have heat! I had professionals install it so I can't comment on that issue.
ProsBeautiful, simple design and a nice size. It looks like a quality product that beongs in the house.
ConsWould like the flame to be a bit higher sometimes but it really doesn't distract from pleasure.
