Ontario 12kW Cast Iron Fireplace

The fireplace is designed to be more efficient with the amount of wood that is used to burn slower. A closed combustion fireplace should always have a smaller fire. Making a big fire will cause the longevity of your fireplace to reduce.

We only recommend the use of dry untreated wood also known as seasoned wood. Using anthracite could cause damage to your fireplace due to the high temperature that it burns at. Using anthracite in your Megamaster fireplace will cause the warranty to fall away because it causes damage to the fireplace and shortens the lifespan of your fireplace.

You should only use well-dried wood (also sometimes referred to as “seasoned wood”) in your fireplace. Source well-dried wood from a reputable wood supplier, as green wood will release moisture that can cause your fireplace to rust on the inside, and it also won’t burn as “clean” as it should. Importantly, using green wood can shorten the lifespan of your fireplace. Using pine wood is a big no-no, as its high sap content produces tarry smoke that can coat the inside of your fireplace and chimney and create a fire hazard. The best wood to burn in your fireplace would be a hardwood like black wattle and blue gum, which burns for longer and consistently to provide a good amount of heat for a longer period. 

You can use a damp cloth, dab it in the ashes in your fireplace and then wipe the glass. The ash cleans the glass easily and it doesn’t cost you anything. If you are using any glass cleaners, please ensure that it is well rinsed off and dry leaving no residue before you use your fireplace.
