Empire Super Stacked Wildwood Vent-Free Gas Log Set

Vent-Free Fireplace Design

Designed for use in approved vent-free fireboxes or masonry fireplaces—choose the correct model for either a single-sided or see-thru configuration—without the need for a chimney or flue.

Efficient Heating

Delivers high BTUs directly into the room, making it an excellent supplemental heat source.

Clean Burn

Burns clean with minimal byproducts and includes safety features like an oxygen depletion sensor (ODS).

Ignition Options

Choose manual, millivolt, or electronic (intermittent) ignition systems—many compatible with remotes or thermostats.

Tip: Check local codes—some areas restrict vent-free appliances.

Where to Install

• Masonry fireplaces (natural brick)
• Prefabricated fireboxes
• Approved vent-free fireboxes

Always follow your owner’s manual for safe installation.

Where Not to Install

• Direct vent fireplaces or inserts
• Fireplaces not specifically approved for vent-free use
• Burners not designed for vent-free logs
• Areas where local codes prohibit vent-free appliances

Check your local building codes and refer to your owner's manual to confirm safe placement.

Log & Burner Fit

For the best results, use the burner designed specifically for your vent-free log set. Matching the correct components ensures safe, efficient operation. Outdoor installations must use an approved stainless steel burner.

Regular Maintenance = Long-Lasting Logs

Vent-free gas logs are low-maintenance by design—but indoor use still calls for occasional upkeep to keep things clean and operating safely. Before your first seasonal burn, take a few minutes to review your owner’s manual for model-specific guidance.

Pre-Season / Before Use

• Clear away dust, pet hair, or debris from the burner and surrounding area.
• Test your remote, wall switch, or manual ignitor before the first burn.
• Confirm that your pilot light lights and holds properly.
• Check the logs for any shifting—vent-free logs must remain in their exact factory placement.
• Look out for unusual flame behavior (like lifting, yellowing, or odor).

During the Heating Season

• Light the pilot as needed and observe flame pattern regularly.
• Avoid moving or adjusting logs—misplacement can cause soot buildup or unsafe conditions.
• Keep an eye out for dust or cobweb buildup around the burner.
• A quick professional checkup once a year is a good idea—especially before heavy use.

Important

• Always leave glass doors fully open during operation to allow proper airflow.
• Refer to the manual to avoid voiding your warranty.
• When in doubt, call a professional instead of troubleshooting complex issues.
