Hi guys, just thought I'd let you know Valcourt just introduced a 9.4 cu ft EPA Phase II (ASTM Low Mass) ZC fireplace. Just a bit of background on this. One of the parameters the engineers were given was it had to be the biggest unit that would still fit through a standard door. It just does...
It's called the FP11 Frontenac named after a grand hotel located in the heart of Quebec City, Canada. It was an enormous technical challenge designing and manufacturing this fireplace. The FP11 Frontenac has a guillotine door that disappears in the hearth, allowing you to easily load wood on the fire. The firescreen is also equipped with a guillotine mechanism.
I've seen it burn and if you are into 'radiant' heat you need to stand back a little.
Specs:
particulate emissions: below 5.1 g/kg (which is approximately 70 percent cleaner than unqualified models)
Width: 59 1/2"
Height: 75"
Weight: 788 Lbs
Glass area: 41" Wide / 26 1/2 Tall (1,090 Sq in)
Venting: 8"
Firebox Dimension: 31 3/4" x 18"
Log Length: 21"
In other words it's a big puppy.
