Refractory Concrete Logs![]()
Refractory concrete gas logs offer long life and an impressive ability to absorb, store and release heat. These logs are cast from real natural logs and feature hand-painted finishes with authentic splits, knots, and other bark details to create the most realistic appearance possible. This effect is further enhanced by the combination of large logs and smaller branches to recreate the look of a real wood fire.

Ceramic Fiber Logs![]()
Ceramic fiber gas logs offer an alternative option to more traditional concrete gas logs. The ceramic fiber construction of these logs allows them to glow wherever they're touched by flames for a distinct effect. These logs also radiate more heat into the room than most vented gas logs. Like the concrete logs, these ceramic logs feature richly detailed, hand-painted finishes to create an impressive firebox appearance in any home.

White Mountain Hearth Vented Gas Log Sets![]()
Vented gas log sets slot into an existing wood fireplace to recreate the look and feel of a natural wood fire with less maintenance and upkeep. As the name suggests, these appliances require proper ventilation to exhaust smoke and other combustion byproducts.
Empire's White Mountain Hearth vented gas log sets offer several customizable options to meet the needs of your installation. Each premium log set is matched to a burner specifically engineered to provide optimum performance and aesthetics.
Triple Burners![]()
Designed to complement the appearance of larger log sets, Empire's triple burner systems feature two large tube burners as well as a smaller ember bed burner to simulate the effects of a hot coal bed. Empire's own Slope Glaze Burner design also includes internal ceramic beads to artistically disrupt the gas flow to form an ultra-realistic burn pattern.
All sand pan triple burners include the burner, a log grate, crushed glass media, and ember glow to create a quality firebox display.

White Mountain Hearth Vent-Free Gas Log Sets![]()
Vent-free gas log sets are a great option if a traditional vented log set won't work for your project. These appliances are also a better option for those looking to use their fireplace as a heat source. However, it's important to note that vent-free appliances are not allowed in all areas. Be sure to check your local codes and other regulations before purchasing.
Like their vented log sets, Empire's ventless log sets can be customized in a variety of ways to meet your needs.
Slope Glaze Ventless Burners![]()
Like their vented counterparts, vent-free Slope Glaze Burner systems contain ceramic beads designed to tumble gas for authentic flame movement. Though vent-free burners typically produce a less impressive flame than their vented counterparts, the Slope Glaze Burner raises the standard for what's possible with a vent-free unit.
