When a traditional fireplace would seem out of place, the Loft Series of contemporary burners complement the unique décor you worked so hard to achieve. The Loft Series Burner installs in any certified vent-free firebox or masonry fireplace to help complete your artistic statement. It operates as a vent-free system for heating or can be installed in a vented fireplace to provide the ambiance of a fire but without the heat. The Loft Series Burners are ideal when installed in Empire’s Deluxe Vent-Free Fireboxes – available in three sizes (32-inch, 36-inch and 42-inch) each in traditional louver front or flush front models. To completment the new Loft Series Burners, an optional polished black or stainless steel liner – exclusive to the Deluxe Firebox – creates the perfect setting.

Your Loft Series Burner arrives finished in lustrous matte black. Decorative accessory tops – available in polished black and brushed stainless steel – install in minutes without tools to instantly change the look and character of your fireplace.

Empire also offers three styles of decorative glass to conceal the burner and create the illusion of flame floating above a reflective field. All of the glass starts as tempered panes that are shattered, screened for the proper particle size, and tumbled to minimize sharp edges.

I either have to put the gas products in the warehouse to make room or I need to sell it and get it out of here. You know I worked hard to get it in here this summer so I would certainly prefer to sell it rather than work doubly hard to get it out. Let’s make a deal and put a fine gas stove or fireplace in your home today.

Below are a few photos from around the showroom of various gas products I would like to sell rather than move to the warehouse (which has dozens of gas units already).

My apologies for the graniness. Too much winter stress and I’m not smart enough to figure out the image stabilizer on my camera. CLICK IMAGES FOR LARGER VERSION

In the first photo we have a Waterford emerald DV, a Lexington Forge DV, a HearthStone Sterling DV, a Vermont Castings Stardance VF, a HearthStone Tribute DV and almost out of view, a HearthStone Santa Fe DV.

In the second photo is a Regency BV for you contemporary design lovers. Very nice stove and burn.

In the third photo; A lovely red Vermont Castings Radiance DV, a Jotul GF600 DV, a Jotul GF300BV, a Jotul GF100 DV in Ivory, a Jotul GF200 DV, a Jotul GF200 DV, a Jotul GF400 BV in ivory and almost outta sight is a Jotul GF300 DV.

In the 4th photo is a very nice Monessen 32 inch vent free fireplace with a honey oak cabinet. You can just set this up, connect gas and be DONE. This setup is usually a little over $2,000 but Its been on the floor a while, brand new but time to go. First $950 will take this one. I think it will need a small piece of filler oak on the bottom but I’ll look around and see if I can find it.

the 5th is just a closer look at that elegant Jotul ivory enamel. Aint it purdy?

The 6th photo is the shop troll. If you buy all the gas stoves on the floor you get him for free to come bring it all to your house.

Introducing -

• The most efficient direct-vent gas fireplace product you can buy – so efficient, it uses PVC pipe for venting. 
• The first and only condensing vented gas fireplace system certified for use in the U.S. 
• A gas fireplace so unique, it takes multiple industry standards to certify it. 
• The only vented fireplace system that also humidifies as it heats. 
• The most advanced solid-state computer-controls on any fireplace – for even greater comfort, efficiency, and safety. 
• The fireplace with the greatest installation flexibility.

Super-Efficient Design Exceeds 90% AFUE

The Mantis stands alone as the most efficient fireplace you can buy. The concealed three-stage heat exchanger captures more than 90 percent of the heat energy from the burner and directs this warm air into your home – not up the flue. With so much of its heat extracted, the exhaust can be vented outdoors in conventional PVC piping – saving money, labor, and space on installation compared to traditional direct-vent systems.

The Mantis puts the green in environmentally friendly. Its powered inlet/exhaust blower ensures the optimal air/fuel mixture for consistently clean-burning operation under any conditions.

As the first condensing vented gas fireplace certified for use in the U.S., the Mantis is unique. The certifying agency drew from multiple national standards to test and certify it.

With the vast majority of the heat delivered to your room, the top and sides of the Mantis stay cool-to-the-touch – so cool, in fact, it earned a zero-clearance certification for installation against any combustible building materials.

The dual burner delivers 9,000 Btu (front only), 19,000 Btu (rear only) or 28,000 Btu (combined). Operating the front burner alone lets you enjoy the ambiance of the attractive log set and gas fire without overheating the room. But, when the temperature dips, the Mantis rises to the occasion, switching on the second burner to produce maximum heat output.Humidify While You HeatCondensed water – a by-product of the Mantis’s super-efficient heat extraction – is captured and then evaporated to introduce humidity to the room air. The automatic blower gently diffuses the humidified air into the room.The result is a more comfortable home environment, fewer complaints of dry throats, and less frequent static electricity discharges as you move about the room.

Advanced Solid-State Controls

The sophisticated control system monitors every critical aspect of the Mantis’s operation to maximize efficiency, comfort, and safety. For all its advanced technology, the system is amazingly easy to operate, with just two on/off buttons for the two burners you can set the temperature to low (front only), medium (rear only) or high (both burners).

Or, choose the optional programmable thermostat to deliver the right amount of heat for each day of the week and time of the day.

The Mantis automatically purges unburned gas from the combustion chamber after each burn and before each ignition for controlled, even starts every time.

The automatic fan cycles on only after the Mantis reaches operating temperature and continues blowing as long as it senses warm air. You never feel a cool draft, just warm,

humidified air.

Versatile Installation

The Mantis may be installed in an existing fireplace as an insert or as a zero-clearance system with a wood cabinet mantel or, with the optional pedestal, as a freestanding stove.

With the exhaust and intake pipe made from PVC and a blower controlling the flow of air and exhaust, the venting options are numerous. Install the Mantis as a direct-vent or ambient-vent system with PVC pipe.

Fireplace Options and Accessories:

• Pedestal Base
• Thermostats and Remote Controls
• Metal Surround (for insert and mantel installations)
• Tops, 5-inch and 10-inch (for insert and mantel installations)
• Cabinet Mantels and Corner Cabinet Mantels (Cherry, Dark Oak, Oak, Unfinished, and White)

When to choose an insert – When converting a wood burning fireplace to gas or to burn wood more efficiently.
A fireplace insert is a convenient and affordable way to convert your existing wood burning fireplace to natural gas or liquid propane gas (LPG). Perhaps you still want to burn wood or pellets, but for efficient heating purposes more so than ambiance. Inserts fit into your existing fireplace and use the existing chimney. To determine the size you will need just measure the opening of your fireplace – (width x height x depth) and give Jack a call or email. We’ll help you select the correct fireplace insert for your home.

When to choose direct vent gas - When you don’t have a chimney or when you want the most efficient sealed-combustion design.
A Direct Vent Fireplace is a perfect solution for homes that don’t have an existing chimney. The sealed combustion units draw outside air in for combustion and simultaneously exhaust the flue gasses out a small exhaust vent. The fireplaces can be installed in almost any room in your house^*…several options and styles are available. You can have a direct-vent appliance configured as an insert, stove, or fireplace. Choices abound with direct-vent technology; the most advanced available and the target of the most agressive investment by manufacturers.

When to choose a stove – Can be used with or without an existing chimney.
Freestanding stoves are an attractive and functional addition to any room. Stoves are available with multiple venting options and can go virtually anywhere in your house. Cast iron and steel stoves are admired for their esthetic beauty and are available in a variety of colors and options to suit your every need. Stoves are available in wood, gas, coal, oil, pellet and kerosene. Some gas stoves are unvented and require no chimney at all and manufactured chimney systems are available if your home has no chimney.

When to choose Gas Logs – When converting a wood fireplace to a gas fireplace to keep the fireplace look.
LPG and natural gas log sets fit easily inside your existing wood fireplace providing fireplace ambiance with added convenience and less mess. No more lugging wood and dirt into the house. With a gas log set you enjoy the fireplace and robust flames while adding thermostat or remote control convenience. Jack has personally installed thousands of gas logs in fireplaces. Contact Jack to find out if your fireplace is a good canditate for conversion.

*Local building codes may prohibit installation in certain rooms.

When I did the math and found out I could heat with gas cheaper than any other fuel, including wood and pellets, I must admit I was blown away. I’m not talking about some expensive high-efficiency gas wall furnace either. Those are great but not much to look at. What if we could surpass even those efficiencies but have a visible, decorative firebox with logs and a flame? Would that get your attention? It has my attention and that’s exactly what I’m writing about now.

When you are heating your home with gas your focus should be on your source of consumption first. There are gas furnaces that guzzle up a gallon or more of gas per hour to heat the whole house no matter where you are in it. Furnaces are ok, but we should really rethink that whole scenario.

If you heat solely with your gas furnace, even if you turn down the thermostat to 68, you are heating the whole house to 68 degrees. You know where I’m going with this don’t you? ZONE HEATING is a relatively new concept to Americans but in countries like Japan and China, it has been a way of life for years. In Japan, homes will have a small gas heater mounted with a quick-connect gas line. The residents will move the heater from room to room based on where they are spending their time and warm that room. Now I know this does not mesh with our lifestyle but we can still zone heat to save huge amounts of fuel and money.

You can install a gas stove or fireplace in the living room, den, playroom, or wherever in the house you spend most of your time. Use the stove or fireplace to keep that area warm and cozy while the bedrooms and nether regions of the house stay cooler. You won’t be going to bed for several more hours anyway right?

When it gets time for the family to go to bed, you can turn off the stove or fireplace and then let the furnace warm those other rooms. Even the largest gas stove will only consume about 1/3 the gas your furnace will in an hour – often even less! Now to shut that big gas hog down for 2/3 of the day will have a major impact on your gas bill, wear and tear on the furnace, and your carbon footprint.

Gas stoves are not cheap and if they are, they are probably very inefficient. You want to go ahead and bite the bullet when buying your stove or fireplace and get the best you can afford at the time. It will immediately start paying for itself in the saving mentioned above so be glad you went with a better stove.

EFFICIENCY is important. There are a couple B-Vent appliances with good efficiency ratings but there are only a couple. Even those consume room air for combustion so they will create a draft. I always have customers asking if I recommend outside combustion air for a stove or fireplace. I always tell them, “All combustion air is outside air. The difference is how it is brought to the stove”. You see, when your stove burns up room air for combustion, fresh air is sucked into the house through cracks in windows and doors in an uncontrolled manner. Ideally, you want to deliver that air directly to the stove so it does not cool the room.

Direct-Vent gas appliances have this feature built into their chimney systems. They have a small exhaust pipe inside a much larger pipe. The space between acts as an air intake and a preheater to increase efficiency. This is the most advanced technology of the day and what I highly recommend. Since direct-vent appliances have a balanced pressure combustion system, they offer installation advantages as well. If you can locate the stove or fireplace on an outside wall, you can vent out the wall and stop with a special termination cap. That’s right, you don’t even have to cut a hole in the roof with a direct-vent stove or fireplace.

So, if you want to take a chunk out of your gas bill, zone heating is the way. Invest a little more now into a system that will pay for itself in savings. You will also help the environment by burning less fuel in your furnace.

Some states have banned ventless appliance altogether. The reason is not so much that they are going to kill you as it is that they can malfunction if neglected. When they do malfunction (neglect maintenance and it WILL happen to you) they can practically destroy a home’s interior in a matter of a couple of hours!

I have had customers go to bed with everything fine and wake up with soot balls hanging off everything in the house. This was because their vent free logs malfunctioned in the middle of the night while they were sleeping.

Ventless products ABSOLUTELY MUST BE SERVICES ANNUALLY! If you have neglected that maintenance, you better get a tech out as soon as possible to perform the required service.

Jack is an expert in vent-free systems & troubleshooting. I can come out and service you logs, fireplace or stove and have it working like new again – sometimes better than new. Additionally, this will help ensure you do not suffer an unexpected malfunction.

Remember, these are precision machines which are finely tuned. That is why they do not require a chimney. It takes very little to disrupt this precision and cause problems. Let me help keep you safe. Jack@firebyjack.com
