Fireplace Xtrordinair in the Great Room

 

This is not any ordinary fireplace in the Collins Great Room. It is a Fireplace Extrordinair.

This catalytic wood fireplace gives you the enjoyment of a real wood fire with the heating efficiency of a furnace. Heat circulates throughout the house using a remote convection fan that draws fresh air from outside the home into a special cavity around the fireplace, heats it, and then circulates it. It is capable of heating up to 3,000 sq ft of living space. It also uses the latest catalytic technology to reduce emissions by 90% compared to conventional fireplaces.

The Collins property includes abundant supply of split and stacked hardwood and appropriately-sized cut logs still waiting to be split.




The fireplace mantal was carved by an artisan from Sevierville, TN.

A propane DutchWest Vermont Stove sits on the other side of the wall. It shares the chimney with the Fireplace Extrordinair and is designed to take the chill off while dining on the screened-in porch.
