Wood-burning fireplaces have been at the center of family gatherings for centuries and nothing compares to the ambiance of a roaring wood fire on a cold winter evening. If you enjoy the labor of love with tending a fire and the memories it evokes, then a wood-burning fireplace is for you.

Wood-burning fireplaces fall in to two main categories: traditional open-hearth models that are used for recreational burning and high-efficiency wood-burning fireplaces that are EPA compliant. High-efficiency fireplaces are designed for constant use as a supplemental heat source for your home.

Most wood-burning fireplaces today are offered in a standard front-open configuration only. With todays focus on tighter, energy-efficient construction, configurations such as see-through and multi-sided openings tend to perform poorly and can spill smoke into your home. Consider a direct vent gas fireplace if one of these opening styles is what you are looking for.

TRADITIONAL WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACES

Todays factory-built wood-burning fireplaces offer the look and feel of a traditional masonry-constructed fireplace at a much lower installed cost. These traditional wood-burning fireplaces are designed to be installed in regular wood-framed construction. They use a design-engineered air-cooled chimney that vents vertically through the roofline or chase enclosure. Grates and mesh spark screens are standard with glass door and outside air kit options available to reduce the amount of room air that is drawn out of your living area.

Traditional Wood-burning Fireplace Features

• Available in traditional open-hearth models in a variety of sizes
• Front-open style with mesh spark screens and wood-burning grate
• Air-cooled, natural-draft chimney systems for vertical installation through roofline
• Used for recreational burning due to low, less than 10% heating efficiency
• Glass doors and outside air kit options are available to reduce heat loss
• Gas line knockouts are provided to support optional gas log liters or gas log sets
• A variety of poured refractory or kiln-fired firebrick interior liner options are available

HIGH-EFFICIENCY WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACES

High-efficiency wood-burning fireplaces dont just look beautiful. Theyre also powerful heating appliances that are EPA certified. This means they undergo rigorous testing and meet or exceed stringent emissions limits to ensure efficient and responsible wood burning. Look for variable-rate control models that allow you to regulate wood usage. This allows you to enjoy the fire longer and put more heat into your home, not up the chimney. Blower kits and heat duct kits are available to help distribute the heat to multiple living areas.

High-efficiency Wood-burning Fireplace Features

• Available in traditional and modern design styles in a variety of sizes
• Circulating design and ceramic glass offer optimal heat transfer
• Gasket-sealed doors and primary air combustion control for efficient burning
• Advanced combustion systems provide secondary air for more complete burns and heat
• High-temperature, natural-draft chimney systems for vertical installation through roofline
• 60% to 75% heat-efficient models with high BTU output offer superb zone heating capabilities
• Radiant heat, warm air circulation and optional ducted air kits offer balanced comfort

Gas log sets bring the enjoyment of having a fire at home without the effort and cleanup associated with a natural wood fire. Gas log sets have detailed log arrangements that mimic the look and feel of real wood logs paired with dancing yellow flames for the ultimate in realism and ease of use.

There are two main types of gas log sets to consider: vent-free gas log sets that offer a superb balance between appearance and heating efficiency and vented gas log sets that create larger, more random flame presentations that come closest to a real wood fire.

VENT-FREE GAS LOG SETS

Vent-free or ventless gas log sets are a great choice if you are looking for the highest heating efficiency possible. Theyre a superb supplemental heating source when used in an approved vent-free fir
