Description
The Empire Archway 2300 EPA Certified 29" Wood Burning Insert is designed to transform an existing masonry fireplace into a powerful, high-efficiency heating system while preserving the timeless charm of a real wood fire. Built with advanced non-catalytic combustion technology and certified to EPA 2020 emissions standards, this wood-burning insert produces up to 75,000 BTUs and efficiently heats spaces ranging from 500 to 2,100 square feet. Its spacious 2.4 cubic foot firebox accommodates logs up to 20 inches long and delivers burn times of up to eight hours, providing dependable warmth with fewer reloads. Finished in durable metallic black, the Archway 2300 blends classic styling with modern performance and qualifies for the 30% federal tax credit, offering additional value for eligible homeowners.
Engineered for lasting durability and exceptional heating performance, the Archway 2300 features a rugged 5/16-inch steel top, a premium high-heat ceramic baffle, and high-density firebrick lining that maximizes heat retention and improves overall efficiency. An advanced air wash system continuously directs heated air across the ceramic glass to help keep the viewing window cleaner, allowing you to enjoy a clear view of the flames. The heavy-duty door latch creates a tight seal for efficient combustion, while the easy-to-use one-lever air control allows precise adjustment of the burn rate for longer burn times and optimal heat output. An included blower circulates heated air back into the living space instead of allowing it to escape through the chimney, increasing comfort and heating efficiency.
Designed for homeowners seeking an efficient fireplace upgrade, the Empire Archway 2300 installs directly into an existing fireplace, combining clean-burning EPA-certified technology with the beauty of traditional wood heat. With optimum efficiency reaching 77%, reliable eight-hour burn times, and premium Empire craftsmanship, this wood-burning insert delivers economical, environmentally responsible heating and dependable performance for years to come.
