Empire 16"/18"/24"/30" Vent-Free Slope Glaze Gas Burner with Millivolt Valve (Burner Only)

Empire popular Slope Glaze Burners raise the standard for dancing flames. Internal ceramic beads tumble the gas to create an exceptionally realistic flame movement.

Special Ceramic Bead materials within the precisely ported burner swirl the flowing gas to produce naturally flickering flames. All come with piezo ignition and standing pilot. 

The Slope Glaze Burner features concealed controls and include a standing pilot for instant starts. This burner includes a millivolt valve and features ON/OFF operation and can be controlled manually or by remote or wall switch (sold separately). There is no flame control or temperature adjustment with this burner. You have the option of using a thermostat, a remote or a combination thermostat and remote. It DOES NOT include a remote or a thermostat.
