Valor G3 Gas Insert, Propane

For a propane home with an old wood fireplace, the Valor G3 is a straightforward switch to gas. Valor introduced the G3 in 1991, and the 739M version gives you five fuel bed choices: Classic, Legend, or Traditional logs, Pebble Beach Driftwood, or a bed of rocks. That range makes it easy to go rustic or keep things simple.

The 739MP engine includes AutoFire and a Valor Plus remote. It runs on battery power and doesn't need household electricity to operate as a heater, and Valor describes it as a radiant fireplace that heats the room directly. It goes into an existing, working solid-fuel fireplace and chimney. Plan on choosing a fuel bed, liner, front, and surround along with the engine.

What Makes the G3 739M Different

• Five fuel bed options. Three log styles, Pebble Beach Driftwood, or rocks, so the fire can look traditional or more modern.
• Works without household power. Battery operation means the fire doesn't depend on your electricity to run as a heater.
• AutoFire and remote included. The engine ships with Valor's AutoFire system and a Valor Plus remote and wall holder.
• Proven design. The G3 has been in Valor's lineup since 1991.

This listing is the Valor 739MP engine, the G3 direct vent gas insert for propane. The fuel bed, liner, front, and surround are sold separately.

Ownership & Maintenance

The optional circulating fan runs from a speed control or wall control, not the remote, and needs a grounded power source. Hearth Doctor customers get support after the sale.
