Empire Ponderosa Refractory Vent-Free Gas Log Set

Yes, the Ponderosa log set is designed to fit into existing masonry or vent-free fireboxes. You will need to ensure your fireplace meets the minimum firebox dimensions for the specific log size you choose.

Vent-free operation is designed for maximum heating efficiency, as all the heat stays inside your room. Vented operation allows you to open your damper for a more traditional, purely decorative experience, though you will lose most of the heat up the chimney.

Yes, this set is ANSI certified and includes an integrated Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS). This safety feature automatically shuts off the gas supply if it detects that oxygen levels in the room have dropped below a safe threshold.

The Slope Glaze ceramic-bead burner is specifically engineered to create deep, layered flame patterns that mimic the movement of a natural wood fire. Combined with the hand-painted refractory logs, it provides a highly realistic aesthetic without the mess of ash or soot.

Remote control availability depends on the specific ignition system you select. Some models include a remote, while others rely on a manual control knob; be sure to check the specific configuration you are ordering to confirm if a remote is included.

Yes, this log set is available in both natural gas and propane configurations. You must select the correct fuel type at the time of purchase, as the burner system is calibrated specifically for one or the other and cannot be easily converted later.
