There’s a new fire in town…. we are absolutely thrilled to announce that both the Pyroclassic IV and Mini Wood burning fires are now ULEBs. One of the cleanest wood burning fires, made right here in New Zealand, this unique Kiwi fire can now become a part of your family.

The ceramic cast cylinder of the fire chamber retains heat like a kiln so you can enjoy consistent warmth, large heat storage and the ultimate convenience of having to reload the fire less.

Can you imagine? Loading your fire up at night and waking up warm with your new Pyro that has provided an overnight burn to take off the chill of the cooler winter mornings. Available in over 200 colour options and with a 10mm thick steel top plate that also provides an excellent additional cooking surface.
