Empire Driftwood Burncrete Slope Glaze Vent-Free Gas Log

The Empire Driftwood Burncrete Slope Glaze Vent-Free Gas Log set is available in three sizes — 18", 24", and 30" — to fit a range of fireplace openings. For the 18" model, the minimum firebox clearance required is 28" (front width) x 17" (rear width) x 14" (depth) x 17" (height). Choose a log size that matches your burner size, as the Driftwood Burncrete logs are designed specifically for use with the corresponding Slope Glaze burner.

The burner on this set outputs up to 32,000 BTUs on the 18" model, with larger models reaching up to 38,000 BTUs, making it capable of providing meaningful supplemental zone heating. Unlike a wood fire, the vent-free logs generate consistent, controlled heat without flare-ups or die-downs. The included thermostatic remote control lets you set and maintain a desired room temperature automatically.

No chimney or flue is required — this is a vent-free appliance that can be installed in an existing wood-burning fireplace or approved ventless firebox enclosure without any venting infrastructure. It can be installed indoors as long as requirements for adequate combustion and ventilation air are met per the owner's manual. Additionally, you can convert it to a vented decorative appliance simply by opening the fireplace's flue damper — no hardware swap required.

Yes, this gas log set is available in both natural gas and liquid propane versions, so you can choose based on your home's existing fuel supply. Depending on the model variant selected, it comes with either a thermostatic variable remote control (on electronic ignition models) or is remote-ready with compatibility for several optional remotes including on/off, thermostat, and programmable options. The remote can be used to adjust flame height and set the room to a desired temperature.

Empire Comfort Systems warranties this hearth product — including the Slope Glaze burner — against defects in workmanship or materials for five years from the date of purchase. Within that five-year period, Empire will repair or replace any defective part and pay reasonable labor costs at their option. The warranty applies to the original purchaser only, is non-transferable, and requires that the unit be installed and maintained by a qualified gas appliance technician in accordance with the owner's manual.
