'HOTTEST' GIFT ON THE WEB: ECOFIRE HEART-WARMING FIRE & CLEAN AIR
December 4, 2000 - Woodside, CA. Holiday shoppers now have the opportunity to help the environment while giving a remarkable gift. A new product, the EcoFire Super-Grate greatly reduces the pollution from wood burning, while increasing radiant heat. The state-of-the-art device burns wood more efficiently and provides an increase in radiant heat of 3 to 5 times that of a normal fireplace.
A great addition to any fireplace, the EcoFire Super-Grate burns cleaner -- and is recommended by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for reducing particulate and gaseous pollutants. EcoFire's proven technology can ease the need for restrictions on residential fireplaces, saving homeowners money at the same time. EcoFire uses the same scientific principle used in heating metals for forging -- heating forced air.
"It's very simple," states Loel McPhee, EcoFire's President. "Heated air-jets supply air to the base of the fire, increasing the burn temperature by more than 500 degrees. This high temperature causes pollutants to break apart into their basic components -- hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. So you get a much toastier fire with dramatically reduced pollution."
Studies have shown that the EcoFire cuts particulate pollution by 60% and gaseous pollutants (such as carbon monoxide) by 80% -- an example of what this would mean is that if only a quarter of fireplaces in the San Francisco Bay Area used this clean-burning technology, the pollution from fireplaces would be reduced by more than 1,000 tons per season.
As well as increasing the output of radiant heat, the EcoFire requires no kindling to start a blaze and comes with a convenient ash pan for easy clean up. The EcoFire Super-Grate will fit virtually any fireplace, and its overall efficiency reduces creosote build-up and helps solve the inadequate draft found in many older fireplaces.
The EcoFire is making its debut selling over the Web, where holiday gift-givers can view it on the company's website and complete the purchase using a credit card. Customers will be delighted to find that the EcoFire costs about half the price of any other environmentally-efficient fireplace. At $595.00, the EcoFire uses less wood and provides so much fuel efficiency that it will pay for itself with lower wood consumption and heating bills.
Dr Richard Smith, the inventor of the EcoFire says, "People buy fuel-efficient cars, install double-pane windows and re-insulate their homes, but they tend to ignore the effects of fireplace 'exhaust' on the atmosphere. Most folks never think about the dollars going up in smoke when they build that cozy fire. With EcoFire, you don't have to think about it -- because we've already solved the problem for you."
About the EcoFire Super-Grate
The EcoFire Super-Grate was invented by Dr. Richard Smith, an expert in combustion technologies, who holds some of the original patents in Rocket Ship Propulsion and Fluid Bed Technology. The EcoFire has been tested by independent EPA certified test labs and is UL rated. Constructed of solid 304-series stainless steel, the EcoFire is a hi-tech grate, is American-made, and is guaranteed for years of use. Installation is as simple as replacing your old fireplace grate with the EcoFire. Included in the package is a video and booklet of helpful energy-saving and environmental tips, which include why you shouldn't burn garbage or driftwood.
