Empire Ponderosa Refractory Vented Gas Log Set

Vented Fireplace Design

Designed for use in indoor wood-burning or masonry fireplaces—choose the correct model for either a single-sided or see-thru configuration—with a working flue or chimney.

Realistic Flames

Delivers a natural-looking flame pattern with glowing embers that mimic a traditional wood-burning fire.

Decorative Appliance

Because the damper remains open, most heat escapes up the chimney—this set is meant to enhance ambiance, not serve as your primary heat source.

Ignition Options

Choose from manual safety pilot, millivolt valve systems, or electronic (intermittent) ignition—many models are compatible with optional remotes.

Tip: Always follow your owner’s manual and local codes for safe installation and operation.

Where to Install

• Masonry (natural brick) wood-burning fireplaces that have been converted to gas, with a fully functioning open flue or chimney
• Prefabricated solid-fuel wood-burning fireplaces converted to gas, with a working chimney or flue
• Outdoor wood-burning fireplaces converted to gas, with proper ventilation and an approved stainless steel burner

Always follow your owner’s manual for safe installation.

Where Not to Install

• Direct vent fireplaces or inserts
• Vent-free fireboxes or fireplaces
• Fireplaces not approved for vented gas logs
• Fireplaces without proper ventilation
• Burners not designed for vented gas logs

Log & Burner Fit

For the best performance and safety, always use the burner system made specifically for your vented gas log set. Outdoor installations must use an approved stainless steel burner.

Timeless Performance Starts with Simple Care

Indoor vented gas logs give you a beautiful, natural-looking fire. With a little seasonal upkeep and common-sense safety, your logs can burn bright for years. Always check your manual before first use.

Pre-Season

• Remove dust, cobwebs, or debris from the fireplace and burner.
• Test your pilot and ignition system.
• Ensure logs are in the proper position and haven’t shifted.

In-Season

• Observe flame behavior periodically.
• Avoid rearranging logs unless your manual allows.
• If it’s been a while or you notice any changes in performance, a quick annual inspection by a certified tech can help keep things running smoothly.

Important

• Keep glass doors fully open while the logs are burning.
• Follow your manual's cleaning and safety instructions to preserve your warranty.
