Wooden Framed Homes
Wooden framed homes are beautiful but it can be difficult to get insurance for two reasons where stoves and open fires are concerned:
1. Heat transfer from the chimney to the wooden frame/ walls.
2. Sparks and embers landing on the wood.
Ecco Stove and Eldfast Ceramic Lining combined provides a solution that resolves both of these issues.
Our models can be placed and fitted within 6” or 8” to the stoves rear to a wood or a wood framed wall and just 3” above a wooden floor.
Providing the wooden floor has adequate support to carry the weight E678 (1212 lbs and E850 1763lbs.
The Ecco Stove® is a masonry heater comprised of modular sections complete with built in contraflow channels. Before the spent combustion gases leave the stove they must pass through these channels. This reduces the flue gas temperature and at the same time collects nearly all sparks and embers in the base to be safely vacuumed out at a later point.
With a flue gas temperature of only 428°F under abuse firing conditions and a typical flue gas temperature of 230-356°c. This is a significant decrease over traditional stoves and open fires which can easily reach 662-1022°c.
These masonry heaters are also much safer in the room itself with as low as 1/3rd of the surface temperature of a traditional metal stove. Heat is instead radiated gently for up to 12 hours after the fire has gone out.
