HearthStone Bristol Direct Vent Gas Stove
The HearthStone Bristol puts the fire front and center. Glass on three sides means you see the flames from across the room, not just from straight ahead, and it comes in Matte Black, Brown Enamel, or Basil Enamel so you can go classic or add a little color. It's a direct vent gas stove, and it ships set up for natural gas with a propane conversion kit in the box.
Model 8764 is built around a SIT 821 gas valve. A battery sparker lights the pilot, and if the burner sits idle for 7 days, the pilot shuts itself off. From there you can add what you want. An optional blower and a choice of thermostatic or programmable remotes let you set it up for the way you live.
What Makes the Bristol Different
- Three-sided fire view. Glass on the front and both sides gives you a wide look at the fire from most spots in the room.
- Pilot that shuts itself off. After 7 days without the burner running, the pilot turns off on its own, so it isn't burning gas all summer.
- Blower that runs itself. The optional blower plugs into a standard outlet, and a snap switch turns the fan on once the stove has warmed up.
- Two remote choices. Pick a thermostatic remote or a programmable one, or skip the remote and keep it simple.
