IronStrike Montlake 230 Wood Burning Insert

This insert is built for medium to large rooms, with a heating capacity ranging from 1,200 to 2,200 square feet. With a 76,000 BTU/hr output, it is powerful enough to serve as a primary or significant supplemental heat source for most standard-sized homes.

The Montlake 230 includes a 150 CFM variable-speed blower as part of the standard package. This is essential for moving the heat generated by the thermal fin heat exchanger out of the firebox and into your living space.

The air-boost timer is a mechanical feature that provides a temporary surge of air to the firebox, which helps ignite logs more quickly when you are first starting a fire or reloading. It simplifies the process by reducing the need to manually adjust dampers or leave the door cracked to get the fire going.

The unit features an integral air-wash system that directs a curtain of air across the inside of the ceramic glass. This creates a barrier that prevents soot and creosote buildup, keeping your view of the fire clear for longer periods between cleanings.

The firebox is designed to accommodate logs up to 18 inches in length. While the firebox capacity is 2.3 cubic feet, sticking to 18-inch logs ensures the best fit and allows for proper airflow around the wood for efficient burning.

Yes, the Iron Strike Montlake 230 is EPA-certified. This certification confirms that the unit meets strict federal emissions standards, ensuring it burns wood more cleanly and efficiently than older, non-certified fireplace inserts.
