Empire Spirit Small Cast Iron Direct Vent Gas Stove
Bring timeless charm and reliable warmth to your home with the Empire Spirit Small Cast Iron Direct Vent Gas Stove. Built from durable cast iron, this direct vent gas stove combines traditional design with modern heating efficiency, making it an ideal addition to any living space.
The direct-vent system uses two vent pipes—one drawing in fresh outdoor air for combustion and the other safely exhausting by-products outside. This sealed combustion chamber, paired with a large glass front, ensures clean operation while allowing you to enjoy the beauty of the flames.
For enhanced comfort, room air circulates around the chamber, and an optional blower helps distribute heat evenly throughout your home. Designed for flexibility, the Spirit Gas Stove can be installed along an exterior wall for a shorter vent run or vented vertically through the roof.
Advantages:
- Good efficiency – 60 to 80%
- Good heat output with thermal transfer through the glass and air circulation
- Separates room air from combustion air
- May be used as primary heat source
- Can operate with a remote or thermostat
- Most systems can provide life-saving heat during a winter power outage
Empire Cast Iron Stoves
Direct-Vent Spirit Stoves include Empire’s Slope Glaze Burner system with expanded ember bed for extra glow. Ceramic beads within the burner swirl and tumble the gas to create naturally swirling flames that are indistinguishable from a wood fire. Topped off with the hand-painted ceramic fiber log set and glowing embers, the effect is stunningly realistic and guaranteed to keep you and your guests mesmerized for hours.
Choose from two sizes (19,500 or 26,500 Btu) and three colors – porcelain black, porcelain mahogany, and matte black.
Spirit Stoves are available in two types of ignition.
i) Millivolt (MV)
Empire Cast Iron Stoves are available in two types of ignition – Millivolt (MV) and Intermittent Pilot (IP). The Millivolt system lights a standing pilot with a pushbutton piezo ignitor. Once the standing pilot is lit, the MV system operates with an on/off switch concealed on the back of the stove or with one of Empire’s optional remote control systems.
ii) Intermittent Pilot (IP)
IP systems eliminate the standing pilot for even greater energy savings. Pressing the on/off switch ignites the pilot, which then ignites the main burner. IP systems can also operate with an optional remote control system.
Includes AC Power Adaptor (120VAC) with battery backup (switches to battery during power outage)
