Ironstrike Wood Inserts
Ironstrike is the rebranded name for the Country Collection by Lennox. In 2012, Lennox Hearth Products merged with FMI to form Innovative Hearth Products, which branded Ironstrike as the name for their stoves and inserts. Country Stoves was the original manufacturer that was acquired by Lennox in 2007. The company has been family-owned and operated outside Seattle, WA, since 1977, which means the stoves were tested in the state with the most stringent E.P.A standards. The Country line has 6 different inserts in 6 different sizes. The Country Collection of stoves has a great air wash system when used properly that ensures that you can see your beautiful fire in operation, the single-handle door assembly without nuts and bolts and thick gasket makes for a solid air-tight seal. Their thick ceramic glass and welded door hinge make one of the strongest door assembles in the industry, an important feature for the only moving part on the stove once it is in place. They use a ceramic fiber blanket that was originally developed by NASA; it has 10 times the insulation factor or standard firebrick, which helps keep the heat in the firebox, generating more efficiency and a cleaner burn. Their stainless steel secondary combustion system burns off gases before they exit the firebox, also adding to higher efficiencies, more heat, and a cleaner burn. Their single lever damper ensures easy control for operating the stove. In 2012, they added a new insert, the "Montlake," to their line. It has a new patented Thermal Fin Technology TFT™, which is a massive cast iron heat exchange that has 32% more surface area than a standard design. This helps boost great heat into the room. This insert also has a larger viewing area to see that beautiful burning fire.
