PureFire™ Fireplace Technology 

The PureFire™ Emission Control Technology from Clear Skies Unlimited is a catalytic system designed 
especially for wood burning fireplaces. The PureFire™ utilizes a patented smoke hood to capture the 
pollutants from the fire allowing most of the dilution air to bypass the hood and exit through the flue 
system.    The  PureFire™  Combustor  provides  a  secondary  ignition  for  the  wood  smoke  combustibles 
preventing  them  from  leaving  the  firebox  as  particulate  pollution.  The  direct  flame  on  the  catalytic 
surface actually cleans the catalytic unit. 
 

The  PureFire™  hood  is  manufactured  from  high  quality  stainless  steel.  The  catalytic  component  is  a 
state-of-the-art ceramic material designed to operate in the direct flame of a fireplace. 

 The PureFire™ is equipped with (2) sets of mounting brackets to attach the hood assembly onto the 
wall of the firebox.  The flat brackets are designed for factory built fireplaces while the other brackets 
should be used on factory built “metal box” fireplaces. The mounting hardware is designed with a lip 
on  the  front  to  prevent  the  PureFire  from  moving.    The  attachment  brackets  will  suspend  the 
PureFire™  above  the  grate.    The  mounting  screws  will  securely  attach  the  hood  to  the  sides  of  the 
firebox.

 

PureFire™ Operation

 

The PureFire™ Wood Burning Fireplace Emission Control System is positioned directly above the grate 
against the back of the firebox.  

The  damper  handle  will  extend  downward  in  the  center  of  the  PureFire™.  The  fireplace  damper 
remains  fully  operational.  The  opening  between  the  PureFire™  Combustor  blocks  will  allow  the 
damper handle to move freely “back-and-forth”. 

…………………

CAUTION

………………… 

The damper must be in the open position at all times when the fireplace is in use. Never burn 
a fire with the damper closed!
