Load it before bed and there are still glowing coals to catch in the morning. No 3am trip to the stove.
An open fireplace pulls more warm air up the chimney than it gives back. Sealed inside the firebox, this reverses that and a blower pushes the heat into the room.
Non catalytic combustion means nothing degrades and nothing needs replacing every few seasons.
A glass airwash system keeps soot off the ceramic glass, so you actually see the fire you paid for.
A 5/16 inch steel top reinforced with a stainless heat shield handles decades of hard heat cycles.
Engineered and built by Englander, and covered by the manufacturer's warranty. The terms that apply to this model ship with it.
Warning: Wood-burning inserts must only be installed inside an existing masonry fireplace and never in a wooden or combustible structure.
The large glass of the Blue Ridge 150-I surface highlights a panoramic view of the flames to fully enjoy your moments near the fire. This compact unit has tapered top and sides for easy installation in smaller hearths. The deep bottom of its combustion chamber allows ash to accumulate and reduces the frequency of cleaning.
