Our fireplace
heats our home instead of losing heat. |
The
Rumford fireplace is the only wood-burning fireplace that burns
clean and is also a very effective radiant heater.
The fireplace hearth has a large 43-inch opening with a shallow
16-inch depth allowing more heat to radiate into the room from
the hot bricks in the fire box. The logs are placed vertically and
make a large fire while air from outside the house is supplied directly to the
firebox to lessen the need to burn inside air. Count
Rumford designed the fireplace in the 1790s.
