Features & Benefits of the EcoFire Super-Grate

  • Carbon Monoxide emissions are reduced from 126 g/kg in the average
    fireplace to less than 25 g/kg with the EcoFire technology.

  • Particulate Matter emissions are reduced from 12.2 g/kg in the average fireplace
    to 2.8 g/kg with the EcoFire technology.

Reduces Pollution By 60 - 80%

Smokey chimneyPollution from a typical wood burning fireplace is the result of inefficient or incomplete burning of the wood. Wood burns completely only at very high temperatures with enough oxygen present. When a fire burns at normal temperatures, such as in a typical fireplace, the wood only cooks and creates gases and tars which escape up the chimney as smoke, i.e. pollution.

No smoke chimneyThe EcoFire Super-Grate supplies an abundant amount of oxygen that raises the temperature which in turn burns up more of the pollution that normally would have escaped, and turns it into heat energy - thus, the EcoFire Super-Grate reduces particulate pollution by approximately 60% and reduces carbon monoxide by 80%.

EcoFire Super-Grate Increases Radiant Heat.

The EcoFire burns hotter and emits more radiant heat.
Radiant heat directly warms people and objects in the room, rather than warming the air.
If your primary concern is heating the home, you should consider a closed system such as a wood stove or pellet stove.

The EcoFire Super-Grate Is Easy To Use!

This eco-friendly grate uses heated air jets to ignite full sized seasoned logs in minutes, requiring only newspaper for kindling- if traditional kindling is unavailable. One match starts the fire, but in contrast to gas fireplaces, there is no fear of explosion. Once the fire is started, it is easily maintained because the intensity can be increased or decreased by adjusting the air flow. This additionally makes it easy to burn damp wood, impossible with a typical fireplace setup.

The EcoFire Super-Grate substantially reduces the quantity of ash making for easy clean up and eliminates the lingering stale smell that comes from partially burnt logs. Additionally, creosote (sticky tar residue that sticks inside the flue) is substantially reduced and, as a result, lowers the hazard of chimney fires The EcoFire may also be used with manufactured or pressed logs that contain wax by-products such as Duraflame. The EcoFire burns these efficiently with less of the petrochemical smell as the increased combustion helps to break down the chemicals.

The EcoFire Super-Grate requires no installation and fits most fireplaces as there are fours sizes available. The EcoFire can be used in both "zero clearance" as well as fireplaces with glass doors - either with the glass doors slightly open or with the cord of the EcoFire placed between the fireplace and the glass door set.
You may order your EcoFire with the fan on either the right or left side.  This will depend upon where the most convenient outlet is near your fireplace (as you face the fireplace).

& It's Safe and Economical!

Side view diagram of a working EcoFire Super-Grate. You will burn a lot less wood with the EcoFire.  In a traditional fireplace you need to pile on a lot of wood to create a beautiful roaring fire.  With the EcoFire you will have a warm roaring fire with just one or two logs.  The EcoFire Super-Grate is significantly less expensive and easier to operate and install than an insert and provides the warmth and beauty of an open fire.

 

The EcoFire Super-Grate has undergone stringent safety testing by the Underwriters Laboratories, and is UL approved.

Helps Inefficient Chimneys And Flues

Many smoke spillage and back drafting problems are solved with the EcoFire Super-Grate. The forced air and intense heat, serves to solve the problems of inefficient chimneys and flues.
