Jetmaster steel box efficient open fire, take large logs
This is a large Jetmaster open fire that is built as a steel box that fits into a standard 54cm wide hole in a fireplace. This is the largest fire Jetmaster make and so please check it will fit for your application. The fire is designed to allow air to flow around the fire which makes it more efficient than a purely open fire. The cold air goes into a slot under the fire and in a shute, it goes around the fire box and exits at the top above the fire. It does gather extra heat and is the most efficient type of open fire. The outside dimensions are 65cm high, 60 wide, 36cm deep and this includes the fire surround and so you need a hole in the wall of 53cm wide, 63cm high and 35cm deep. The fire will take 19" logs and has a fire tray, metal front and also has a wire mesh safety front grill and a poker. I have swapped it out because my fireplace is in the middle of the house and so it draws air in from all the doors etc which cause drafts. I think this fire is best for mounting on an external wall where an external air source can be supplied. The fire warms up very quickly and is relatively efficient but think about the airflow to the fire. It does take big logs which is a good advantage over the closed fire type. Any questions? Read More
