About this product
Empire White Mountain Hearth LS30WRS 30" Super Stacked Wildwood Refractory Gas Log Set
The Empire White Mountain Hearth LS30WRS is a 30-inch, seven-piece Super Stacked Wildwood refractory gas log set designed for a compatible 30" Empire Slope Glaze burner. Its layered rear, front, center, and upper logs create a substantial stacked-firewood appearance while the separately selected burner determines the fuel type, ignition, controls, BTU input, and operating configuration.
The LS30WRS includes the seven-piece decorative refractory log set only. A compatible 30" Empire Slope Glaze burner must be selected separately to create a complete operating gas-log system.
The logs themselves are not Natural Gas- or Propane-specific and do not have an independent BTU rating.
Layered 30" Super Stacked Wildwood Fireplace Presentation
The LS30WRS is designed for buyers who want a fuller stacked-wood appearance rather than a simple single-row log layout.
Its seven separately positioned logs create depth across the rear, front, center, and upper portions of the fireplace. This arrangement works with the flame pattern of compatible Empire Slope Glaze burners.
Empire provides a prescribed location for each log because correct positioning affects flame appearance, burner performance, and cleaner operation.

LS30WRS Log Identification & Part Numbers
Compatible 30" Empire Slope Glaze Burners
Natural Gas or Propane?
The LS30WRS logs themselves are not fuel-specific.
Natural Gas or Propane operation depends on the exact compatible burner installed beneath the logs.
Natural Gas
Select the exact Natural Gas version of the compatible 30" Slope Glaze burner.
Propane / LP
Select the exact Propane version of the compatible 30" Slope Glaze burner.
Compatible Burner Performance
Heat input is determined by the burner paired with the LS30WRS.
Minimum Fireplace Dimensions
For the documented 30" VFSE and VFSV Slope Glaze burner installations, Empire specifies:
If the fireplace has glass doors, use the opening of the glass-door frame when evaluating the available front opening.
Vent-Free vs. Vented Installation
Vent-Free Configuration
- Use an approved compatible vent-free burner.
- Provide adequate combustion and ventilation air.
- Meet fireplace and combustible-clearance requirements.
- Follow the exact prescribed log arrangement.
- Confirm state and local vent-free requirements.
Vented Decorative Configuration
- Use an approved compatible vented configuration.
- Maintain the required working flue.
- Follow the applicable damper requirements.
- Follow the burner and fireplace instructions.
- Verify local code requirements.
Canadian Installation Restriction
Canadian installations are limited to an approved vented configuration subject to the manufacturer's instructions.
Correct Seven-Log Placement
Empire requires the LS30WRS logs to be installed in the manufacturer-prescribed sequence.
The LS30WRS also uses a model-specific positioning detail for the left rear log to help lock it into place behind the burner.
Ember & Lava Rock Placement
- Place glowing ember material only in the designated burner area.
- Do not cover the large front burner ports.
- Do not cover the large rear burner ports.
- Do not place decorative lava rock on the burner.
- Do not place decorative lava rock on the logs.
- Decorative lava rock may be placed on the fireplace or firebox floor where appropriate.
Glass Fireplace Door Requirements
Keep fireplace glass doors open during all operation.
Fans, Drafts & Flame Behavior
Do not allow ceiling fans, portable fans, HVAC registers, or other airflow sources to blow directly into the fireplace.
Drafts can alter the burner flame pattern and may contribute to flame impingement, improper burning, or sooting.
Existing Wood-Burning Fireplace Preparation
Before installation in a solid-fuel-burning fireplace, the chimney flue and firebox must be properly cleaned.
- Remove soot.
- Remove creosote.
- Remove ashes.
- Remove loose paint.
- Use a qualified chimney cleaner.
- Verify all fireplace and burner dimensions before installation.
Sunken Fireplace Installations
If installed in a sunken fireplace, Empire instructs that the fireplace floor be raised with secure, noncombustible material to help maintain proper airflow and guard against sooting.
Initial Operation After Installation
After installation is complete and the logs and ember material are correctly positioned, operate the burner on high for a minimum of three continuous hours during the initial break-in period.
Open windows or doors as needed to provide ventilation and allow initial odors and excess heat to escape.
Installation & Service Requirements
- Gas piping and gas-utilization equipment should be installed or replaced by qualified personnel.
- Testing, repair, and service should be completed by an appropriately qualified agency or professional.
- Use only the gas type specified for the selected burner.
- Verify fireplace dimensions before ordering.
- Confirm the exact 30" Slope Glaze burner.
- Follow all combustible-clearance requirements.
- Provide adequate combustion and ventilation air for vent-free operation.
- Follow the manufacturer-prescribed log placement.
- Keep burner ports and air passages clean and unobstructed.
- Do not allow fans or drafts to disturb the flame pattern.
- Keep fireplace glass doors open during operation.
- Follow applicable manufacturer instructions and codes.

Before ordering, verify the exact burner model, fuel type, control configuration, fireplace dimensions, vented or vent-free operating mode, combustion-air requirements, log placement, ember placement, glass-door requirements, and applicable local codes.
