The Ultimate Wood Burning Fireplace
The Original Arched Fireplace™
The Furnace That Looks Like A 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 deli-
cate lace pattern concealing the air intake and heat exchanger,
and the arches have identified Fireplace Xtrordinair to thou-
sands of discerning homeowners all over North America.
The Elite series by Fireplace Xtrordinair is designed to main-
tain the aesthetic appeal of the fireplace while delivering
up to 76,700 BTUs/hour, through a decorative grill built into
the face design, framing the fire and enhancing your home
decor. Other heat-circulating fireplaces require large unsightly
louvers or highly visible vent boxes above the fireplace open-
ing, sacrificing the traditional hearth look.
The entire Elite series features sleek lines and large glass
doors for an expansive view of the fire. Add the optional
black painted, nickel plated face or hand-hammered Artisan™
face and door for a dramatic flair. Only Fireplace Xtrordinair
creates such a uniquely beautiful, versatile look in a high BTU
output fireplace.
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 flames of a real log fire 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 efficient use of fuel and a cleaner, healthier
environment.
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
The fireplace of old, and most manufactured fireplaces, cannot
meet these demands. Any heat generated by a traditional fire-
place goes up the chimney and not into the home.
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 fireplaces. A catalytic combustor
reduces the temperature at which smoke ignites, causing it
to burn before it leaves the firebox. Unlike most fireplaces,
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!
The solution is the Fireplace Xtrordinair Elite series of wood
burning fireplaces. This state-of-the-art fireplace design, avail-
able in two different sized models, provides the warmth,
romance and beauty of a traditional hearth without heat loss
and air pollution. Our Elite fireplaces are installed as framed in,
zero clearance fireplaces, and have an enviable overall efficiency
rating up to 73%. Both models are certified by the EPA as a clean
burning, environmentally responsible heating appliance.
Positive Pressure Heating System
One of the unique design features of Fireplace
Xtrordinair’s Elite fireplaces 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 fireplace, 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
infiltration.

There has never been a fireplace made
that compares to Fireplace Xtrordinair in
all the performance categories, efficiency,
emissions and BTU output. One of the
most critical of all performance charac-
teristics of any heating appliance is the
“overall efficiency”. This important data
tells you how much of the energy gener-
ated by combustion is turned into useful
heat. The Fireplace Xtrordinair Model 36
Elite is rated by the Department of Envi-
ronmental Quality (DEQ) in Oregon as
having 73%. This is the highest rating ever
achieved by a wood burning fireplace, in
fact much higher than most E. P. A. certi-
fied wood stoves.

erwise pass up the chimney as smoke. The

How The Fireplace
Xtrordinair Works
Model 36 Elite
A single air control (1) regulates the burn
rate of the fireplace. As the fresh air is di-
rected to the primary combustion zone of
the fire, 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 fire is

for aggressive and easy to light fires.

Highest BTU Output of
Any Phase II Certified Fireplace
The Fireplace Xtrordinair Elite series of wood burning fireplaces is one of
the cleanest burning and the highest BTU output appliances ever certified
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 filter (14) keeps incoming air clean. The barometric damper (15) pre-
vents cold air transfer into the heat chamber when your fireplace is not in
use. Outside air is circulated around the entire firebox (16) for maximum
heat transfer before being directed through the decorative face outlets to
pressurize your home with fresh heated air. The finish face (17) is removable
and comes from the factory either nickel plated or with a black paint finish.
Check with your dealer for custom paint colors they may offer.
All Models of the Fireplace Xtrordinair
Elite Series Also Feature...
• Built-in thermodisc for automatic control of the blower.
