Yes, but placement is key. Again the fan needs to draw cooler air from behind to operate and the surface on which the Ecofan is placed should never exceed 340ºC (650ºF).

Unfortunately no, the Ecofan generates its own electricity through temperature differential. The base must make contact with a heat source of at least 65ºC (150ºF) and the top of the fan must remain cooler. The Ecofan needs to draw cooler air from behind in order to operate.

Installation of our hearth products must be done in strict accordance with local or national building codes, and the unit's installation manual. We recommend that our products be installed by a factory-trained Mr. Fireplace installer.

Please make sure the flue is open before starting fire. NEVER remove hot ashes or partially burned loges. Please leave the ashes in the fireplace even if you are sure they are cold. It's easier to build a fire with a bed of ashes. If it becomes absolutely necessary to remove the cold ashes, use a metal container only. (Anything flammable, such as a paper bag or cardboard box, even if you are positive the ashes are cold, is extremely dangerous.

Unfortunately, no. You will need a wood pellet stove but if you don’t already have one, the savings you will realize in heating your home will more than pay for the stove. Some companies do offer converters which may be placed in fireplace inserts. Please check with your local hardware store or on the web to see if this option will work for you.

Yes. We recommend annual service of your fireplace by a qualified serviceperson. This will ensure that your appliance is functioning properly. Your decision really comes down to how much a priority heating efficiency is for you. If you want a lot of heat from your fireplace, you should consider a direct vent gas insert. From a cost standpoint, an insert will cost approximately five times the cost of a nice gas log set.

Freestanding stoves can be connected to chimneys built especially for them. The chimneys may be of masonry construction or be a factory-built metal system that's been designed, tested and listed for use with wood burning appliances. Freestanding stoves can also connect to an existing fireplace chimney, if the height and position of the stove's flue collar permits it. When this type of installation is done, the stoves may be called hearth stoves.

Carefully open the damper and, using a flashlight, look up the flue for signs of a build-up along the walls. Goggles are suggested for this. If the build-up is ?" or more, a cleaning is needed.

The safest installation available for a woodstove insert is one that is lined to the top. Reasons to line a woodstove insert to the top include:

If you are using the wood flooring plans that we have provided, we recommend that you create a rock or sand hearth to put your stove on. To install your stove on the hearth, follow manufacturer’s instructions and local building codes. Each dome is equipped with a metal stove flashing. The piping will run from your stove through the flashing and above your dome. All of the piping that is used in association with the stove should be double walled pipe.

No. If the fireplace is designed for use only with gas, this is a very bad idea. The fireplace is not designed to withstand a wood fire. And the gas jets are not meant to come in contact with ash. This is a real fire hazard. It's possible your fireplace was originally a wood burning fireplace and has been converted to gas. In that case, it can be converted back. But you shouldn't burn would in it until that's happened.

NO! Don't burn artificial logs in a wood stove, unless they are specifically designed for wood stove use and labeled as such.

Yes you absolutely can from a technical standpoint. The building can have anything normal installed into it. Legally, we cannot answer that. You would need to check with your local fire department etc.Many places now require the Ultra low emission wood stoves and some areas no longer allow wood stoves. We cannot comment on that because we don't know your area, but yes a wood stove can be installed.

Night and Day! Blaze King classic models feature a bimetal coil thermostat This simple thermostat evens out the uneven nature of burning wood. Blaze King owners typically only adjust their thermostats once or twice and day. Nearly all other wood stoves have a damper to regulate air-flow and require more frequent adjusting. Also, Blaze King wood stoves are very deep. Not just front to back but real depth.

If you already have a brick or stone fireplace, or a factory-built fireplace, and you want to convert it to gas, then the most cost-effective solution is an insert. If you are remodeling a part of your home that never had any kind of built-in structure, then you need a Direct Vent fireplace that does not require an existing opening or chimney.
