The Majestic Sovereign Heat Circulating Wood Burning Fireplace offers the warmth of circulating heat to any room in your home, while providing an unobstructed view of the fire. The Sovereign is a traditional-style wood burning fireplace that will add elegance and history to any space. It has a full refractory firebox that is both long-lasting and easy to clean. The firebox's tapered form allows for better heat reflection, allowing more heat to be reflected outward and warm the room rather than escaping through the chimney. There are two knockouts on either side of the firebox, so you can easily add an optional gas log set to your wood-burning fireplace if you ever decide to convert it to gas. The ash can be easily removed, thanks to the lift-up grate, and the built-in ash lip prevents soot and cinders from flowing out of the fireplace. The heat is circulated through the louvers at the top and bottom, and the heat is transferred as it flows across hot surfaces.
