Wood Burning Fireplaces - Fireplace Xtrordinair

Looks Like A Fireplace, Heats Like A FurnaceThere has never been a fireplace madethat compares to Fireplace Xtrordinair inall the performance categories, efficiency,emissions and BTU output. One of themost critical of all performance characteristicsof any heating appliance is the“overall efficiency”. This important datatells you how much of the energy generatedby combustion is turned into usefulheat. The Fireplace Xtrordinair Model 36Elite is rated by the Department of EnvironmentalQuality (DEQ) in Oregon ashaving 73%. This is the highest rating everachieved by a wood burning fireplace, infact much higher than most E. P. A. certifiedwood stoves.The combustor is designed to ignite anyunburned volatile gases that would otherwisepass up the chimney as smoke. Thecatalyst in the combustor actually lowersthe temperature at which gases burn, thusallowing the appliance to burn efficientlyover 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), combinesa large fuel load with the burn characteristicsof the catalytic combustor forlonger, more efficient burn times thanthose found in any High-Tech stove oruncertifiedfireplace.(9) Heavy gauge, welded steel fireboxconstruction and rigorous UnderwritersLaboratory (UL) safety testing byWarnock Hersey insure complete peaceof mind.(10 Large double doors frame thelargest ceramic viewing glass availablein any heat producing fireplace.Model 36 Elite Face Size: 28” x 36”Model 44 Elite Face Size: 32” x 44”How The FireplaceXtrordinair WorksModel 36 EliteA single air control (1) regulates the burnrate of the fireplace. As the fresh air isdirected to the primary combustion zoneof the fire, it is drawn evenly across theglass by a sophisticated air wash. (2) Thisair wash is designed to help keep the glassclean during higher operating settings.An additional boost to the primary fire isachieved by air inlets (3) near the base of thehuge firebox. This combined air entry allowsfor aggressive and easy to light fires.There are two EPA approved methodsfor reducing emissions in certified woodburning appliances, one being non-catalyticHigh-Tech design, the other usingcatalytic combustors. Because of the verylarge firebox size the 36 and 44 Elite fireplacesfeature catalytic technology. Thecatalytic combustor (4) is a ceramic honeycombedblock that is coated with amixture of palladium and platinum.16961416Grams Per Hour40302010E M I S S I O N SConventional ConventionalOpen UncertifiedFireplace WoodstoveAverage EPACertifiedWoodstoveFPXModel36 EliteFPXModel44 Elite17210A catalytic by-passmechanism (6) is designedto prevent smoke spillage during refuelingand allows for quick, effortless firestartingby allowing a direct unobstructed path forthe flue gases during start-up.The heavy baffle plates (7) increase thetime the unburned gases stay in the firebox,allowing them, when mixed withfresh oxygen prior to entering the catalyticcombustor, to increase efficiencyand lower emissions.(8) The variable speed blower controlallows you to adjust the amount of heatedair circulation into your home.51131278(11) The blower microswitchinstantly turns off the blowersystem when you open the doors toprevent smoke-back into the room.(12) The log retainer allows you theability to load a large amount of woodwithout it rolling back out.NOTE: If you purchase the single black dooryou will also receive the cast decorativeandiron.5 Installing Your Fireplace
