Overall Dimensions: Fits a fireplace at least 28 in wide at the front, 22 in at the rear, 12 in deep and 16 in high, per the Hargrove manual
The Hargrove Element Series 18 in burner (ESCS18) is a contemporary, linear vent-free burner for an existing masonry or factory-built wood fireplace. A mirrored stainless back panel reflects the flame, and you finish it with fire glass, river rocks, or Aspen twig or driftwood log kits, so it reads modern rather than rustic. It uses a millivolt valve that works with a wall switch, thermostat or remote.
Features
- Linear vent-free burner with a reflective stainless back panel
- Up to 33,000 BTU/h on natural gas or 28,000 BTU/h on propane
- Millivolt valve with ODS safety pilot, ready for a wall switch, thermostat or remote
- Choose fire glass, river rocks, an Aspen twig kit or a driftwood kit (variants on this page); about 6 lb of glass media for the 18 in burner
- Contemporary look for a traditional wood-burning firebox

- Vent-free burner with ODS pilot and the control valve you select
- Reflective stainless back panel
- The media kit and fire glass you select (base variant is the burner only)

Installation Notes
Vent-free gas appliances cannot be installed in New York City under the NYC Fuel Gas Code. We sell this model for installations outside the five boroughs where local code allows it.
Where permitted, a qualified gas installer must set the logs in a masonry or factory-built wood-burning fireplace and connect a permanently piped supply of the correct gas type. Hargrove does not allow installation in bedrooms, bathrooms or recreational vehicles, the set is for supplemental heat rather than a primary heat source, and solid fuels must never be burned in a fireplace fitted with it. Keep glass doors fully open while it operates, and do not use a natural gas set on propane or the reverse.
Need a gas fireplace that can be installed in the city? Book a design consultation and we can suggest a direct vent option.
