Firestarter

Residential Architect, July, 2004 by Nigel F. Maynard

Evens favors classic Rumford fireplaces because the firebox is tall and shallow, allowing it to reflect heat and carry smoke away with little loss of heated room air. Superior Clay Corporation manufactures all the components that are needed to build a Rumford and offers design services to architects and builders. "Using authentic Rumford proportions and throat components from Superior Clay takes the guesswork out of designing a properly drawing fireplace," Evens says.
