There has never been a fireplace made that compares to Fireplace Xtrordinair in all the performance categories, efficiency, emissions and BTU output. One of the most critical of all performance charac- teristics of any heating appliance is the “overall efficiency”. This important data tells you how much of the energy gener- ated by combustion is turned into useful heat. The Fireplace Xtrordinair Model 36 Elite is rated by the Department of Envi- ronmental Quality (DEQ) in Oregon as having 73%. This is the highest rating ever achieved by a wood burning fireplace, in fact much higher than most E. P. A. certi- fied wood stoves.

The combustor is designed to ignite any unburned volatile gases that would oth- erwise pass up the chimney as smoke. The catalyst in the combustor actually lowers the temperature at which gases burn, thus allowing the appliance to burn efficiently over the complete operating range.

The huge size of the refractory lined (5) firebox(4.3 cubic feet on model 44 Elite

&3.7 on the model 36 Elite), combines a large fuel load with the burn charac- teristics of the catalytic combustor for longer, more efficient burn times than those found in any High-Tech stove or uncertified

fireplace.

(9)Heavy gauge, welded steel firebox construction and rigorous Underwriters Laboratory (UL) safety testing by War- nock Hersey insure complete peace of mind.

(10 Large double doors frame the larg- est ceramic viewing glass available in any heat producing fireplace.

How The Fireplace

Xtrordinair Works

A single air control (1) regulates the burn rate of the fireplace. As the fresh air is di- rected to the primary combustion zone of the fire, it is drawn evenly across the glass by a sophisticated air wash. (2) This air wash is designed to help keep the glass clean during higher operating settings.

An additional boost to the primary fire is achieved by air inlets (3) near the base of the huge firebox. This combined air entry allows for aggressive and easy to light fires.

There are two EPA approved methods for reducing emissions in certified wood burning appliances, one being non- catalytic High-Tech design, the other us- ing catalytic combustors. The Fireplace Xtrordinair features catalytic Technology. The catalytic combustor (4) is a ceramic honeycombed block that is coated with a mixture of palladium and platinum.

A catalytic by-pass mechanism (6) is designed

to prevent smoke spillage during refueling and allows for quick, effortless firestarting by allowing a direct unobstructed path for the flue gases during start-up.

The heavy baffle plates(7) increase the time the unburned gases stay in the fire- box, allowing them, when mixed with fresh oxygen prior to entering the cata- lytic combustor, to increase efficiency and lower emissions.

(8)The variable speed blower control al- lows you to adjust the amount of heated air circulation your home requires.

(11)The blower micro-

switch instantly turns off the blower system when you open the doors to prevent smoke-back into the room.

(12)The log retainer allows you the ability to load a large amount of wood without it rolling back out.

NOTE: If you purchase the single black door you will also receive the cast decorative andiron.
