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.
