Medium Premium-Quality Non-Catalytic Wood-Burning Fireplace Insert

EPA 2020 Approved, High-Efficiency Wood Heating & Durable Steel Construction

Designed for dependable whole-room heating and efficient wood combustion, this Medium Premium-Quality Wood-Burning Fireplace Insert combines high heat output, strong efficiency, durable steel construction, and advanced non-catalytic combustion technology. Rated for heating areas from approximately 500 to 1,800 sq. ft., it delivers up to 65,000 BTU/h (19 kW) of heat when burning dry cordwood.

The appliance features a 1.86 ft³ overall firebox, a high-quality vermiculite baffle, refractory brick lining, stainless-steel secondary-air system, and a 144 CFM premium blower. Its single ceramic-glass door with a cast-iron frame provides a durable, attractive viewing area while the non-catalytic combustion system supports clean and efficient operation.

Certified by an accredited independent laboratory for applicable Canadian and U.S. standards, this EPA 2020-approved appliance is engineered for safe installation and long-term wood-burning performance.

Key Features

High Heat Output

Produces a maximum heat output of 65,000 BTU/h (19 kW) when operating with dry cordwood, providing substantial supplemental heating for medium-to-large residential spaces.

Wide Heating Range

Recommended for heating areas from approximately 500 to 1,800 sq. ft. Actual heating performance and burn time may vary depending on home location, chimney draft, insulation, climate, fuel type, and other environmental factors.

High-Efficiency Combustion

The appliance delivers up to 76% optimum overall efficiency, with average dry-cordwood efficiency rated at 68% HHV and 73% LHV.

Non-Catalytic Combustion Technology

The non-catalytic combustion system uses a stainless-steel secondary-air system to support efficient combustion without a catalytic combustor.

EPA 2020 Approved

This high-efficiency appliance is EPA 2020 approved and has an average particulate emission rate of just 2.4 g/h.

Premium 144 CFM Blower

A 144 CFM premium-quality blower is included to help circulate heat from the appliance into the surrounding room.

Durable Steel Construction

Built with 3/16-inch steel body construction and a robust 5/16-inch steel top, providing durability for demanding wood-burning applications.

Refractory Brick-Lined Firebox

The firebox is lined with refractory bricks for enhanced durability and heat resistance during repeated high-temperature operation.

High-Quality Vermiculite Baffle

A vermiculite baffle contributes to the appliance’s combustion and heat-management system while providing excellent high-temperature resistance.

Large Viewing Area

The single door features durable ceramic glass with a viewing surface measuring 15 3/4 × 9 3/4 inches, framed in cast iron.

Up to 18-Inch Logs

The firebox accommodates logs up to 18 inches long, with loading designed across the width of the firebox.

Long Burn Time

Maximum burn time is rated at up to 7 hours, although actual burn duration varies according to fuel, loading, chimney draft, climate, and operating conditions.

Warranty

Limited Lifetime Warranty

This appliance is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, providing long-term coverage for qualifying components subject to the manufacturer’s warranty terms.

Important Performance Notes

Performance figures are based on standardized fuel-loading and testing conditions. Dry cordwood testing uses fuel with a moisture content between 19% and 25%. Maximum heat output is based on a loading density between 15 and 20 lb/ft³, while other performance measurements use the fuel-loading conditions prescribed by the applicable standard.

The listed efficiency values use both Higher Heating Value (HHV) and Lower Heating Value (LHV) methodologies. Optimum heat-transfer efficiency represents the appliance’s ability to convert energy contained in solid fuel into heat transferred to the room and does not account for chemical losses during combustion.

Actual heating area and burn time may vary based on installation location, chimney draft, heat-loss characteristics, climate, fuel type, and other operating conditions.
