Empire Tahoe Deluxe 36" Direct Vent Gas Fireplace - DVD36FP
The Tahoe Deluxe is available in (4) Sizes:Deluxe models feature a Contour tube-style burner, designed to complement the hand-painted ceramic fiber log set, and produce a natural dancing flame.
Choose a conventional Deluxe Tahoe model – with louvers and available trim kits. The Deluxe model features large heat resistant, tempered glass windows that provide an unobstructed view to the log set.
