How Does The Heatwave Firegrate Work? |
||
A lot of people asked, "Where does the fire get its air from?" or "Why doesn't the grate have holes in the bottom?". Here is our reasoning behind this design. The traditional cast iron grates with a slotted base were designed for fires burning coal to drive steam engines on locomotives, boats and other steam powered machines. The coal needed to burn fiercely to produce the maximuim heat to produce the steam. To achieve this it needs lots of air flow to fuel the flames. This concept was thought to be the only way to build a firegrate and were used in homes all over the world. When you think about the fire in your home, its not used to run steam engines...these days fires are more used in our homes for warmth, comfort, ambience, and enjoyed by family and friends. You don't want it to be burning your wood as quick as possible but you do want a warm room. The Heatwave classic firegrate provides a more controlled fire, it draws the air to fuel the flames through the front of the grate which throws the heat back out into the room. You will find you get a fantastic heat while burning less wood as it doesnt burn as fierce. Not convinced? Please check out the testimonials from other happy warm customers.
