MASPORT – Rakaia ULEB Pedestal Wood Burner

MASPORT – Rakaia ULEB Pedestal Wood Burner Description:

Our tribute to Canterbury’s largest river, the Rakaia is our larger freestanding MASPORT – Rakaia ULEB Pedestal Wood Burner. Offering the latest in Catalytic Combustion technology, our Rakaia fireplace is leading a new generation of wood burners that produce longer-lasting heat with fewer emissions. The Rakaia meets New Zealand’s strictest emission standards, providing an eco-friendlier alternative to older wood fires. Ideal for medium to large homes, the Rakaia has been designed to deliver consistent warmth and extended burn times, while using less wood. Its built-in, easy-clean ash pan also makes cleaning the large capacity firebox quick and convenient.

Ultra-Low Emission Burners:

Over the last decade, New Zealand has developed some of the strictest air quality regulations in the world. Masport’s current wood fire ranges produce cleaner heat than older models. Their Ultra Low Emission Burners (ULEBs) further reduce emissions with a Catalytic Combustor. Masport is the only NZ manufacturer using this tech, providing stable, overnight heat and prolonging the firebox life. Some Councils mandate ULEBs, but we believe all Kiwis should consider them.

Stovetop Cooking:

Masport radiant wood fires include a 6-8mm steel cooktop to also allow for cooking and warming. Using your wood burner to cook is fun, saves on electricity or gas use, and is a perfect option when there is a power cut. When cooking on your Masport wood fire, the area closest to the flue is the hottest and is ideal for boiling things like water, stews, and porridges. By moving your pot further away from the flue, you can obtain a gentler heat that’s ideal for warming and simmering.

Sustainably Fueled:

Burning renewable wood is a carbon-neutral exercise, with no more carbon dioxide (CO2) generated than if the log was left to decompose naturally. Wood is also a naturally renewable energy source and, when obtained from sustainable forestry sources, is a better environmental choice.
