Flair 34 Insert - Rectangular Door (available in Canada only)
A soapstone-lined wood insert with an automated air control that slows the fire down. Quick Facts • Efficiency: 75% optimal; 66.07% (higher heating value). • Maximum Log Size: 22″ • Fuel: Wood. • Fan: Dual heat-activated, variable-speed blowers. Who It’s For An open fireplace sends most of its heat up the chimney. You need to turn that opening into a real heater. The Ambiance Flair 34 wood insert is for the homeowner who wants wood heat from the fireplace they already have. Leave it open and it keeps costing you heat every winter. What Makes It Special Flair inserts are lined with soapstone , which Ambiance says absorbs 15 percent more heat than firebrick and radiates heat five times more, for a steadier warmth. A patented automated air control can slow the fire to as low as 0.8 kg of wood per hour, which stretches the burn and evens out the heat. A perforated baffle brings in secondary air without tubes in the way of the view, and a sweeping cap on the baffle makes chimney cleaning easier. This one has the rectangular door. Possible Downsides • It is available in Canada only. • It is a wood fire. You load it, tend it, and carry out the ash. If you want real wood heat from the fireplace you already have, the Ambiance Flair 34 wood insert is the right decision. The room you used to pass through becomes the one everyone settles into. Choose the arched or rectangular door.
