How The Empyre Elite Works

The Empyre Elite uses a process called wood gasication

toproducehighlyefcientcombustioninthefurnace’sdual

burn chambers. (1) Wood in the rebox burns from the

bottomup,dryingthetoplayerofwoodinthereboxand

forcing gases and exhaust into the lower burn chamber. (2)

In the brick-lined lower chamber, these volatile gases are

burned at temperatures as high as 2000°F (1093°C).*

Therebricklininginbothburnchambersabsorbstheheat

and maintains burn chamber temperatures for consistent

gas combustion. This high-temperature gas combustion

signicantly lowers emissions, prevents creosote buildup,

and minimizes ash buildup in the unit. (3) After passing

through the burn chamber, exhaust air escapes through

multiple ues running through the water jacket, heating

thewaterquicklyandefciently.(4)Theexhaustcoolsasit

temperatures have fallen to 350°F (177°C).
