The Century Heating CW2800 Wood Burning Fireplace Insert is designed to transform a traditional masonry fireplace into an efficient and powerful heat source. With modern EPA-certified technology, the CW2800 delivers reliable warmth, clean combustion, and user-friendly operation for medium to large living spaces.

This wood-burning insert is capable of heating approximately 1,500 to 2,400 square feet, making it a great choice for heating main living areas, cabins, or medium-sized homes. The durable steel firebox accepts logs up to 18 inches long, allowing you to load larger pieces of firewood and enjoy longer burn cycles. Under optimal conditions, the CW2800 can provide a maximum burn time of up to 7 hours, reducing the need for frequent refueling while maintaining comfortable heat throughout the day or night.

Efficiency and environmental performance are also key strengths of the CW2800. This EPA-certified insert features a non-catalytic combustion system designed to burn wood more completely, producing strong heat while minimizing emissions. With an efficiency rating of roughly 77% and particulate emissions around 2.4 grams per hour, the unit meets modern EPA standards for cleaner wood burning and improved fuel usage.

The insert includes a 32" x 44" steel faceplate that creates a clean, finished look while sealing around the insert and the fireplace opening. The faceplate system is designed for straightforward installation and gives the unit a built-in appearance that blends well with a variety of hearth styles.

To help distribute heat effectively throughout the room, the CW2800 comes standard with a 144 CFM blower equipped with a thermodisc. This powerful blower circulates warm air from the firebox into the living space, significantly improving heat distribution and allowing the fireplace insert to warm a larger area more evenly. The thermodisc automatically activates the blower when the stove reaches operating temperature, adding convenience and maximizing heating performance.

Built for durability and dependable heating performance, the Century Heating CW2800 offers an excellent balance of efficiency, heating capability, and value—making it an ideal upgrade for homeowners looking to turn an open fireplace into a productive source of heat.

  • Suitable for masonry fireplaces only
  • Mid-size, versatile firebox
  • Reinforced appliance top with a stainless steel heat shield
  • Cast iron door and ceramic glass
  • Glass air wash system for a cleaner view of the flames
  • EPA certified at 2.4 g/h

Optional Accessories

5" Fresh Air intake Kit

The 5" Fresh Air Oval Kit is required if you plan on connecting a fresh air intake pipe. The oval adapter kit comes with the oval adapter, 2 clamps and the fresh air intake register hood. The oval adapter is intended for the 5" fresh air intake pipe. You will have to manually ovalize the flexible intake pipe to make the connection to the adapter. The oval adapter can be positioned on either side of the fireplace insert.

5" X 4' Insulated Flex Pipe for Fresh Air Intake

The insulated flexible fresh air intake pipe is the perfect choice for adding fresh air to the stove. Measuring 4' in length and 5" diameter, this can be used for going straight out of the wall behind the stove. A fresh air intake register and the fresh air intake clamps are necessary to finish the installation. The insulation will help prevent the air intake from being cold in the room. A fresh air intake must be installed when installing the Matrix in a mobile home.

Rigid Firescreen

The Rigid Firescreen allows you to burn wood in the insert with the door open just like an old-time fireplace. Hear the crackle of the wood, watch the flames dance around and relax by the fire on a cold winter's night. The Rigid Firescreen is easy to install and easy to remove when you are ready to load more wood. The insert should not be burning with the door open without the Firescreen.
