Made in the USA by Empire

White Mountain Hearth products are manufactured by Empire at the company’s facilities in Belleville, Illinois, just outside of St. Louis. Empire’s history reaches back to a sheet metal shop established in 1911, with the company’s manufacturing roots continuing through its Belleville facility opened in 1932. Today, White Mountain Hearth remains part of Empire’s long-standing American manufacturing tradition.

That background is important for homeowners and contractors who want hearth products from a manufacturer with deep experience in gas heating, fireplace design, vented and vent-free appliances, log sets, burners, and replacement parts. White Mountain Hearth products are designed around practical installation needs, realistic fire presentation, dependable operation, and a broad range of style choices.

White Mountain Hearth Gas Log Sets

White Mountain Hearth gas log sets are one of the brand’s most popular product categories. These log sets are designed to bring the look of a traditional fire to an existing fireplace or approved firebox, with options for natural gas and liquid propane applications.

White Mountain Hearth log sets are available in multiple sizes, commonly ranging from smaller fireplace openings to larger hearth applications. Depending on the series, customers can choose from ceramic fiber logs, refractory concrete logs, hand-painted log details, glowing embers, decorative media, and burner systems designed to create a fuller flame appearance.

Gas log sets may be a good choice if you want to refresh an existing fireplace without a full fireplace replacement. They are often used in masonry fireplaces, approved vent-free fireboxes, and other compatible installations where the correct burner, fuel type, log size, and safety controls are selected for the application.

White Mountain Hearth Vent-Free Log Sets and Burners

White Mountain Hearth vent-free log sets and burners are designed for approved vent-free fireboxes and certain existing fireplace applications when the installation meets the manufacturer’s requirements and local code. Vent-free products can provide convenient supplemental heat without a traditional chimney venting system, but they must be selected and installed carefully.

White Mountain Hearth vent-free burners include options designed to create realistic flame movement, ember glow, and a fuller fire appearance. Many vent-free log sets are available in natural gas or propane versions, with control options that may include manual controls, remote-ready controls, variable flame remotes, or electronic ignition depending on the model.

Because vent-free appliances are regulated differently by location, always confirm local code, room size requirements, air quality considerations, and manufacturer instructions before purchasing or installing a vent-free fireplace, burner, or log set.

White Mountain Hearth Vented Gas Logs and Pan Burners

White Mountain Hearth vented gas logs are made for customers who want a more open, traditional flame appearance in a fireplace designed for vented operation. Vented log sets are commonly used in masonry fireplaces where the damper remains open during use and the fireplace is suitable for the selected gas log system.

White Mountain Hearth vented pan burners use a burner system beneath the logs to create a natural-looking flame pattern. Depending on the burner type, the system may use sand, embers, glass media, or other approved decorative components to help shape the flame and improve the finished look of the fire.

Vented gas logs are often chosen for ambiance and fireplace appearance. They are different from vent-free systems and should be installed only in fireplaces and chimney systems approved for vented gas log operation.

White Mountain Hearth Direct Vent Fireplaces

White Mountain Hearth direct vent fireplaces are designed for homeowners who want a sealed-combustion gas fireplace with flexible style options. Direct vent fireplaces bring combustion air from outdoors and exhaust flue gases outside through an approved venting system, helping separate room air from combustion air.

White Mountain Hearth direct vent models include traditional and contemporary designs, with options such as clean-face fireplaces, decorative fronts, liners, media choices, blower options, remotes, and trim accessories depending on the model. These fireplaces are commonly used in living rooms, family rooms, finished basements, bedrooms where approved, and new construction projects.

Direct vent fireplaces are appliance-specific, so the correct venting, termination, clearances, framing, gas type, and installation requirements must be confirmed before ordering.

White Mountain Hearth Linear Fireplaces

White Mountain Hearth linear fireplaces are designed for homeowners who want a modern fireplace look with strong horizontal lines, clean styling, and a contemporary flame presentation. These fireplaces are often installed at eye level or integrated into feature walls, media walls, and modern room designs.

Linear White Mountain Hearth fireplaces may include decorative glass, contemporary burners, accent lighting, liners, fronts, and other design options depending on the series. They are a strong choice when the fireplace is intended to be a visual centerpiece as well as a source of supplemental heat.

Before choosing a linear fireplace, consider the wall layout, viewing height, television placement, clearances, heat management, gas type, and venting requirements.

White Mountain Hearth Vent-Free Fireplaces and Fireboxes

White Mountain Hearth vent-free fireplaces and fireboxes are designed for approved installations where a traditional chimney or direct vent system is not being used. These products are often selected for remodels, room additions, supplemental heating spaces, and areas where venting a fireplace would be difficult.

Vent-free fireplaces can offer installation flexibility, but they are not the right choice for every home or every location. Local regulations, room size, ventilation, moisture, oxygen depletion safety systems, and manufacturer requirements should all be reviewed before selecting a vent-free product.

If you are considering a White Mountain Hearth vent-free fireplace or firebox, WoodstovePro can help you compare the available options and understand which details need to be confirmed before purchase.

White Mountain Hearth Inserts, Stoves, Mantels, and Outdoor Products

White Mountain Hearth also offers products beyond standard log sets and built-in fireplaces. Depending on the model and availability, the lineup may include gas fireplace inserts, cast iron stove options, mantels, outdoor fireplaces, and outdoor fire features.

A White Mountain Hearth insert may be used to update an approved existing fireplace opening, while a gas stove can provide the look of a freestanding hearth appliance with the convenience of gas heat. Mantels and decorative accessories can help complete the finished installation, while outdoor fireplace products can create a warm gathering area for patios, porches, and backyard spaces.

Because each product type has different installation requirements, it is important to identify the correct category before selecting a model.

Choosing the Right White Mountain Hearth Product

The best White Mountain Hearth product depends on your fireplace opening, fuel type, venting needs, room size, installation location, and the look you want. A vented gas log set, vent-free burner, direct vent fireplace, linear fireplace, insert, and outdoor fireplace are all different product types with different requirements.

Before ordering, it is helpful to confirm your fireplace type, measurements, gas supply, whether you need natural gas or propane, whether the installation is vented or vent-free, and whether local code allows the product you are considering.

WoodstovePro can help you determine:

  • Whether you need a gas log set, burner, fireplace, insert, stove, mantel, or outdoor product
  • Whether a vented, vent-free, or direct vent product is appropriate
  • Which size log set or fireplace model fits your space
  • Whether you need natural gas or propane
  • Which control type, remote, blower, liner, front, or accessory may apply
  • Whether your existing fireplace can accept the product you are considering
  • Which replacement parts or accessories match your existing White Mountain Hearth unit
