Measure your fireplace opening in three places so your set fits with room for the flame:

  • Front width (left-to-right at the opening) — pick a log set about 2–6" narrower. A 30" opening → a 24" set.
  • Depth (front-to-back along the floor) — most sets need at least 12–14".
  • Height (floor to top of opening) — at least 14" for a full flame.

Not sure which size? Use the Buying Guide at the top of the configurator — it recommends your exact size from these measurements.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked

Is the remote control included?

Yes — the multifunction remote is standard and acts as a room thermostat with six flame-height levels. It also switches the fireplace between intermittent pilot (IPI) and continuous pilot (CPI) modes.

What media goes on the burner?

Crushed decorative glass (1/4") is required and ordered separately — up to 5 sq ft, available in Blue Clear, Black Polished, Clear Frosted, Bronze Reflective and Copper Reflective. A Rustic Contemporary log-and-stone set (LSM1THF) is an optional alternative look.

Will it work in a power outage?

Yes — the wall-mounted control interface includes battery backup, so ignition and flame control continue to work when the power is out.

Can I put a TV above it?

With proper framing and Empire's heat management options (interior gravity air kit or exterior forced air kit) heat can be redirected away from the wall above — ask us to spec the right kit for your wall design before installation.

Does it need to vent through the roof?

No — the Boulevard 48 vents top or rear with 4" x 6-5/8" coaxial pipe, horizontally through a wall or vertically through the roof; an optional DVKPM power vent extends horizontal runs.
