The Ultimate Wood Burning Fireplace
Fireplace Xtrordinair (sometimes called the FPX) the “Original Arched Fireplace”, introduced the trademark product shape of the parallel arches, the arched viewing area and the parallel arched face over a decade ago. The unique design of the deli­cate lace pattern concealing the air intake and heat exchanger, and the arches have identied Fireplace Xtrordinair to thou­sands of discerning homeowners all over North America.
Nothing Matches A Real Log Fire
When you enter a home, what’s the one thing that makes you feel instantly welcomed and relaxed: the cheery crackle and dancing warm ames of a real log re on the hearth.
The fireplace has always been the heart of the home. The mood it inspires sets the stage for all our fondest memories of romance, family sharing and festive gatherings around the fireplace. This wonderful ambience is threatened by society’s need for ecient use of fuel and a cleaner, healthier environment.
The replace of old, and most manufactured replaces, cannot meet these demands. Any heat generated by a traditional re­place goes up the chimney and not into the home.
The solution is the Fireplace Xtrordinair Elite series of wood burning replaces. This state-of-the-art replace design, avail­able in two dierent sized models, provides the warmth, romance and beauty of a traditional hearth without heat loss and air pollution. Our Elite replaces are installed as framed in, zero clearance replaces, and have an enviable overall eciency rating up to 73%. Both models are certied by the EPA as a clean burning, environmentally responsible heating appliance.
The Furnace That Looks Like A Fireplace
The Elite series by Fireplace Xtrordinair is designed to main­tain the aesthetic appeal of the replace while delivering up to 76,700 BTUs/hour, through a decorative grill built into the face design, framing the re and enhancing your home decor. Other heat-circulating replaces require large unsightly louvers or highly visible vent boxes above the replace open­ing, sacricing the traditional hearth look.
The entire Elite series features sleek lines and large glass doors for an expansive view of the re. Add the optional black painted, nickel plated face or hand-hammered Artisan™ face and door for a dramatic air. Only Fireplace Xtrordinair creates such a uniquely beautiful, versatile look in a high BTU output replace.
Home Air Recirculator
You also have the option to install the powerful blower within the home and use your Fireplace Xtrordinair as a Home Air Recirculator, that circulates heated air throughout the home.
No Fireplace Burns As Clean As Fireplace Xtrordinair
A source of heat for your home shouldn’t be a source of pollution for our environment. Fireplace Xtrordinair utilizes the latest catalytic technology to reduce emissions by 90% compared to conventional replaces. A catalytic combustor reduces the temperature at which smoke ignites, causing it to burn before it leaves the rebox. Unlike most replaces, the Fireplace Xtrordinair Elite series surpasses the EPA’s strict emissions standards for wood stoves - in fact, emissions are as low as 2.3 grams of particulates per hour for the Model 36 Elite and 2.5 grams for the Model 44 Elite!
Positive Pressure Heating System
One of the unique design features of Fireplace Xtrordinair’s Elite replaces is that you can use fresh air which is drawn from outside the home for both combustion and heat transfer through a unique concept called ‘Posi-Pressure’. Posi-Pressure technology draws outside air into the cavity around the replace, heats it, and circulates it throughout the home via a quiet, remote blower. The heated air naturally ‘seeks out’ and penetrates cold spaces, warming the entire home evenly while ‘sealing’ cracks, leaks and other drafty spots by preventing cold air inltration.

Unmatched Beauty
The Fireplace Xtrordinair Elite series is de­signed to meet your architectural needs by blending with the interior of your home rather than looking like an add-on.
The double door style is a classic, equally at home in the country or when gracing a con­temporary living room. This replace is ush to the wall, which saves valuable oor space in a room.
The traditional classic arch design accom­modates standard brick dimensions without cutting and works equally well with stone, marble or tile for that custom touch.
The controls for fan, air adjustment and damper are subtly incorporated in the face of the unit itself for easy access.
The standard heat resistant nish for the doors and face is a rich metallic black. Your dealer can oer a wide assortment of deco­rator colors as well.
Upgrade your replace with elegant brush­ed nickel (face only) plating. The plated sur­face does not require polishing and will not discolor under normal operation.
The ArtisanTM replace face design and craft­manship is reminiscent of the iron work in the great lodges of Europe and America. The Arti­san is hand-forged and hammered by master blacksmiths in Europe. Each replace face will bear unique subtle characteristics from the hands of its creator, making it a true work of art in iron. The Artisan in New Iron paint nish is available as a single door on the 36 Elite and as double doors on the 44 Elite replaces.
Another beautiful benet of the Elite series is the size of the logs the unit can burn (up to 32” on model 44 Elite). The large capac­ity rebox features large doors that provide a huge unobstructed view of the beautiful, soothing ames.
Perhaps the most beautiful feature of the Fireplace Xtrordinair Elite series is its val­ue. Despite the fact that the Elite line-up is constructed of superior components and features, and the performance ratings are superior to every other certied replace, the cost of the installed system is surpris­ingly competitive. The reason is simple, the air cooled chimney system approved for Fireplace Xtrordinair may cost 50% less than chimney systems required on other high heat output replaces. This dramatic breakthrough is due to the eectiveness of the unique heat exchange Posi-Pressure system. This system delivers most of the heat generated into the home rather than up the chimney.
Dollar for dollar, you will not nd a better, more cost eective way to eciently heat your home with wood!

There has never been a replace made that compares to Fireplace Xtrordinair in all the performance categories, eciency, emissions and BTU output. One of the most critical of all performance charac­teristics of any heating appliance is the “overall eciency”. This important data tells you how much of the energy gener­ated by combustion is turned into useful heat. The Fireplace Xtrordinair Model 36 Elite is rated by the Department of Envi­ronmental Quality (DEQ) in Oregon as having 73%. This is the highest rating ever achieved by a wood burning replace, in fact much higher than most E. P. A. certi­ed wood stoves.
The combustor is designed to ignite any unburned volatile gases that would oth­erwise pass up the chimney as smoke. The catalyst in the combustor actually lowers the temperature at which gases burn, thus allowing the appliance to burn eciently over the complete operating range.
The huge size of the refractory lined (5) rebox (4.3 cubic feet on model 44 Elite & 3.7 on the model 36 Elite), combines a large fuel load with the burn charac­teristics of the catalytic combustor for longer, more ecient burn times than those found in any High-Tech stove or uncertied replace.
(9) Heavy gauge, welded steel rebox
construction and rigorous Underwriters Laboratory (UL) safety testing by War­nock Hersey insure complete peace of mind.
(10 Large double doors frame the larg-
est ceramic viewing glass available in any heat producing replace.

How The Fireplace Xtrordinair Works
A single air control (1) regulates the burn rate of the replace. As the fresh air is di­rected to the primary combustion zone of the re, it is drawn evenly across the glass by a sophisticated air wash. (2) This air wash is designed to help keep the glass clean during higher operating settings.
An additional boost to the primary re is achieved by air inlets (3) near the base of the huge rebox. This combined air entry allows for aggressive and easy to light res.
There are two EPA approved methods for reducing emissions in certied wood burning appliances, one being non­catalytic High-Tech design, the other us­ing catalytic combustors. The Fireplace Xtrordinair features catalytic Technology. The catalytic combustor (4) is a ceramic honeycombed block that is coated with a mixture of palladium and platinum.

A catalytic by-pass mechanism (6) is designed to prevent smoke spillage during refueling and allows for quick, eortless restarting by allowing a direct unobstructed path for the ue gases during start-up.
The heavy bae plates (7) increase the time the unburned gases stay in the re­box, allowing them, when mixed with fresh oxygen prior to entering the cata­lytic combustor, to increase eciency and lower emissions.
(8) The variable speed blower control al-
lows you to adjust the amount of heated air circulation your home requires.

(11) The blower micro-
switch instantly turns o the blower system when you open the doors to prevent smoke-back into the room.
(12) The log retainer allows you the
ability to load a large amount of wood without it rolling back out.
NOTE: If you purchase the single black door you will also receive the cast decorative andiron.

Highest BTU Output of Any Phase II Certied Fireplace
The Fireplace Xtrordinair Elite series of wood burning replaces is one of the cleanest burning and the highest BTU output appliances ever certied by the EPA.
The Posi-Pressure System
Fresh outside air is drawn through a remote, quiet 388 cfm blower (13) to pressurize the house, and provide outside air for combustion. A washable air lter (14) keeps incoming air clean. The barometric damper (15) pre­vents cold air transfer into the heat chamber when your replace is not in use. Outside air is circulated around the entire rebox (16) for maximum heat transfer before being directed through the decorative face outlets to pressurize your home with fresh heated air. The nish face (17) is removable and comes from the factory either nickel plated or with a black paint nish. Check with your dealer for custom paint colors they may oer.
All Models of the Fireplace Xtrordinair Elite Series Also Feature...
• Built-in thermodisc for automatic control of the blower.
• 8 foot electrical leads for the blower (8’ extension with junction box).
• Mason’s set-up face provided on the replace during installation to
