Description
Most stoves are steel or cast iron. The Earthfire White Large is different: it is a ceramic fireplace made from a specially formulated clay, finished in white, and shaped like a rounded firepot. Clay holds heat far better than thin metal, so the room stays warm even as the flames settle. It is a design piece first glance, and a capable wood heater once lit.
Earthfire White Large Ceramic Fireplace Features
Heat that lingers
Earthfire says its firepots stay hot for up to two hours after the fire has gone out. The trick is to start with a good-sized fire to heat the whole pot, then keep it going with small loads. You get gentle, radiant warmth rather than a blast of heat that fades fast.
Made to handle real fires
Unlike a cheap garden chiminea, the Earthfire clay body is made to cope with the uneven heat of a hot wood fire. The maker states it will not rust, smoke or smell, so it stays good looking year after year.
Easy to live with
Wood burns cleanly in the firepot and turns to a very fine ash. Earthfire suggests brushing the ash out about once a month, which is about as low maintenance as a wood fire gets.
A white fireplace with character
The Large firepot measures 52 x 52 x 68 cm and weighs about 60 kg. The white finish stands out against dark floors or brick, and Earthfire offers decoration options such as an African Mask or Japanese Medallion in a contrasting colour. Ask us which options are available on order.
Is the Earthfire White Large right for your home?
There is no published kW rating for this model, so we size it by room and use. It works well in a lounge, study or den where you want steady radiant heat. Share your room size and ceiling height and our team will advise. You can also compare it with our other freestanding fireplaces and large fireplaces.
Installation in Cape Town
Our team supplies and installs the firepot with a suitable flue, cowl and roof flashing for Cape wind and rain, set on a safe, non-combustible base. Find out how our fireplace installation service works, or see the full Earthfire range.
Earthfire White Large FAQs
Does a ceramic fireplace crack with heat?
Earthfire firepots are made from a clay body designed for wood fires and are rated to resist thermal shock. Build the fire up steadily rather than with a sudden blaze, and the pot will give years of use.
How does a ceramic firepot compare with a metal stove?
A metal stove heats up quickly but cools quickly too. The ceramic firepot takes a little longer to warm up, then keeps radiating heat after the fire dies down, which many owners find more comfortable.
