The Empire Archway 2300 Wood Stove Insert is designed to improve the heating performance of an existing masonry fireplace while providing the appearance of a traditional wood-burning fire. The Empire Archway 2300 features a 2.4 cubic foot firebox and is EPA 2020 Certified for burning dry cordwood. With a heating capacity of 500 to 2,100 square feet and a maximum output of 75,000 BTUs (AWES), it is suitable for larger rooms or homes.
Operation is simplified through a single lever air control that allows easy adjustment of the burn rate, while the included blower helps circulate heated air back into the living space. An integrated air wash system directs hot air across the ceramic glass to help reduce the buildup of dirt and debris, maintaining a clearer view of the fire. Built with a durable 5/16-inch steel top, a firebrick-lined firebox, and a high heat ceramic baffle, the insert is engineered for long-term performance. The package includes the blower kit, while the required door overlay and surround are sold separately to allow installation customization.
