Evergreen Cast Iron Fireback

A fireback serves two main functions: it protects the back wall of your fireplace masonry from heat damage and acts as a radiator, absorbing heat from the fire and reflecting it back into your room to improve heating efficiency.

Yes, this cast iron fireback is compatible with both wood-burning and gas setups. It is designed to withstand the high temperatures generated by both fuel types.

While the fireback is a standalone piece, we strongly recommend using optional feet for proper positioning. These feet elevate the fireback slightly, which ensures better airflow behind the panel and prevents it from tipping over.

This unit weighs 35 pounds. Because it is made of solid, heavy-duty cast iron, it is stable once placed, but you should handle it carefully during installation to avoid pinching fingers or damaging your hearth floor.

The fireback is coated with a heat-resistant finish specifically formulated for high-temperature environments. While it is durable, you should avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as a simple dusting or wipe-down with a dry cloth is all that is needed for maintenance.
