So, What is a Masonry Heater Fireplace and How Does it Work?

The main difference between a masonry heater and other wood-burning appliances is that a masonry heater can store a lot of heat. This means that you can quickly and cleanly burn a load of wood, and the heat will slowly radiate into your house for the next 8 to 24 hours. Masonry heaters are also safer and more efficient than traditional fireplaces since they don't produce creosote or harmful emissions in the chambers or flue.

Hot air from the fire flows through a series of baffles to heat up the surrounding masonry.  This heat is "soaked up" in the heater walls and then slowly released into your home.

Temp-Cast Fireplace Features

Having a renewable energy source that you can harvest locally gives you peace of mind. You can burn it cleanly to heat your home without relying on electricity. Testing showed that the Temp-Cast heater has a transfer efficiency of 65.4% and a combustion efficiency of 94.4%.

The modules are manufactured from a castable refractory material. They have a unique interlocking feature so that one piece is precisely keyed to fit the next one. This allows the kit to be quickly and accurately erected and ensures that the completed core is structurally stable and independent of the facing material.

There is no safer wood-burning fireplace than a well-made masonry heater. It can be fired for a few hours per day while you're awake and never at night when you sleep. Because they burn the fuel so completely, they produce little ash or harmful emissions which keeps your home's air cleaner.

One of the most distinctive features of a masonry heater build is the outstanding fire-viewing. When the fire is lit, it catches quickly and burns fiercely, creating a spectacular show. If a pizza oven is incorporated, you can see the burning gases accelerating through the gas slot, creating an exciting "spark shower" and adding to your enjoyment of the fire.

Masonry heaters are a household word in colder parts of Canada, Northern Europe, and Australia. Temp-Cast masonry heaters can serve as the primary heater in a well-insulated 2000 square foot home while using less wood, therefore using less storage space.

Radiant heat from a masonry heater is very similar to the radiant heat from the sun rather than the convection heat from a traditional fireplace. Just as the sun warms the earth, the masonry stove heats by warming solid objects in the home, such as walls, floors, furniture and people.

• DESIGN: Ready to Finish / DIY - create the look you want for your fireplace and indoor pizza oven by finishing in brick, soapstone, or stucco.  You control the budget for your finish of choice.
• CONSTRUCTION:  Castable refractory material with interlocking features allows the fireplace to be "site-built" and installed with refractory mortar.
• FUEL EFFICIENCY:  These heaters can heat a well-insulated house for 12 to 24 hours on one firing of wood. This is much more efficient than wood boilers, which use 10-12 cords of wood, or wood-burning stoves, which use 6-8 cords.
• SAFETY: Temp-Cast Heaters are acceptable in many areas that have restricted or banned other types of stoves and fireplaces.
• COMFORT:  Radiant warmth helps alleviate sinuses and dry skin in the winter. The warm walls and heated seats create a cozy retreat in your living space for reading a book or relaxing with family.
• INTEGRATED PIZZA OVEN:  The roaring fire from the fireplace is perfect for heating your wood-fired pizza oven.  Use different techniques to cook at high, baking, and slow cook temperatures in your warm kitchen.
