Program.
EPA WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE
PROGRAM QUALIFIED
This appliance has met the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) Low Mass Wood-
burning Fireplace Program Phase 2 emission
level (g/kg), as per test protocol ASTM 2558
"standard test method for determining particu-
late matter emissions from fires in low mass
wood-burning fireplaces".
Fresh Fire
TM
Burn System
1- Air is diverted under the front of the grate,
gaining heat from the ember and ash material
for more efficient combustion.
2- Cool air is deflected to prevent cooling
of the fire, so that high temperatures are
maintained.
3- Efficient combustion leads to lower emis-
sions, because the higher temperatures burn
up more volatile gasses and particulates.
4- Exhaust air is effectively pulled into the
chimney, and heat from the fire is circulated
into the living space.
