Slope Glaze Burners and Matching Log Sets
Our popular Slope Glaze Burners contain ceramic beads which tumble the gas to create exceptionally realistic flame movement. We offer ceramic fiber, traditional refractory concrete, and Burncrete® logs. Each log is hand-painted to bring out the rich detail.
Our Vent-Free Burners are approved for use in any certified vent-free firebox. They may be also installed in an existing wood-burning fireplace, with the damper closed, to operate as a vent-free heating system. For applications where you want the ambiance of a fire without the heat, our Millivolt and manual burners are also certified for installation as decorative vented log sets.
- 16, 18, 24 and 30-inch Vent-Free Burners – up to 38,000 Btu
- Millivolt (VFSR), Manual (VFSM), Intermittent Pilot (VFSE), and Variable Flame (VFSV) models

Loft Series Burners
Loft Burner Systems
Loft Burners deliver a contemporary look with an artistic flair – by itself or accessorized to suit the room. Choose decorative tops and firebox liners, in reflective black or brushed stainless steel, and crushed glass in black polished, blue clear, and clear frost.
- 18, 24 and 30-inch Vent-Free Burners – up to 40,000 Btu
- Millivolt models include an on/off switch but will operate with Empire remote controls and thermostats
- Intermittent Pilot models include a variable flame height thermostat remote control with 30 percent turndown (for vent-free installation only)
- Special 10,000 Btu Millivolt model for bedroom applications (where allowed by code)
A vent-free Millivolt Loft Burner may also be installed as a decorative appliance in a vented fireplace to provide ambiance and light – but without the heat. In a vented installation, the burner cannot be operated by thermostat, and the flue damper must be blocked open. A damper clamp is included with all Loft burners. Because IP Loft Burners include a thermostat remote and may not be installed as decorative appliances, a non-thermostat remote is available.
