Retrofit technology for
existing fireplaces - helping to reduce pollution.

Wood smoke is pollution and is simply incomplete comubustion. By adding air into the base of the fire the temperature increases for more complete combustion.

EcoFire Super-Grate

The Air Induced Fireplace Grate That Reduces
Pollution & Increases Combustion

Burn Smart - Burn Clean - Burn Efficently

The Environmental Challenge

Andiron Technologies challenges the Hearth Products Industry and the EPA and other Global Environmental Organizations, to take this basic science and technology to the next level to reduce the pollution from the millions of existing fireplaces.

 

Designed to improve the efficiency of existing fireplaces. The EcoFire comes in 4 sizes. Made with high ductile cast iron and stainless steel, the EcoFire will withstand years of use.

 

The EcoFire is not a forced air heater. For those whose primary concern is heat, you should consider a woodstove or pellet stove. But for those who enjoy a heart warming fire, the EcoFire will maximize the efficiency and dramatically reduce the pollution from your current fireplace.

How the EcoFire Works

The EcoFire supplies a light pattern of air into the base of the fire. Working a bit like an electric bellows, the EcoFire increases the temperature of the fire thus burning off most of the pollutants. The volatiles in the wood that produce smoke don't ignite until they are well over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. The average fire in a fireplace burns at aproximately 900 - 1,100 degrees. The EcoFire averages 1,600 - 1,800 degrees. Smoke is simply incomplete combustion. The EcoFire helps to create a complete combustion.

Heated air jets into the base of the fire make for the perfect fire, easy to start and easy to maintain using less wood. By increasing the temperature of the fire, the EcoFire dramatically reduces pollution. The specially designed curved heat shield radiates heat and protects the interior of the fireplace.


Technical Paper

Wood or Pressed Logs

The EcoFire helps to start a fire by providing just enough air to aid the combustion. And when the fire has burnt down, you can add a log and turn the air on high to restart a hearty fire.

The EcoFire also works well with pressed or manufactured logs such as Duraflame. Using the EcoFire helps to alleviate the petrochemical (wax smell) that is emitted by these logs.
