Masport Akaroa

Our Akaroa wood fire reimagines the traditional fireplace, offering a sleek, European design while retaining the warmth and heart of a family wood burner. The Akaroa is ideal for medium-sized homes and offers powerful, clean-burning performance to ensure your family stays cosy throughout the winter. Its taller shape also allows for easier loading of wood, while the option to add either a built-in, easy-clean ash pan or a convenient wood stacker lets you customise your fireplace to suit your lifestyle. While the Akaroa is suitable for all architectural styles, it is an especially good choice to complement rooms with high ceilings.

• Suitable for small to medium homes (2 to 3 bedroom)
• Built-in, easy-clean ash pan
• Available with wood stacker or pedestal with easy clean ash pan
• 10 year replacement firebox guarantee

The Akaroa’s sleek sophistication saw it named as a finalist in the Best Design Awards, 2017. The Best Awards are judged and awarded by the Designers Institute of New Zealand – a group of people who definitely appreciate, and understand, elegant and contemporary design.

Masport triple air combustion technology uses air flow from three different angles to fully burn the wood placed in your fire, resulting in less smoke and fewer emissions. This intelligent design provides outstanding efficiency resulting in a National Environmental Standard (NES) rating for every Masport fire.* *Rural fires excluded

Masport wood fires are crafted in Aotearoa, using locally sourced, New Zealand made steel to guarantee the highest levels of workmanship and quality. Most of our wood burners use 6mm-8mm steel for fireboxes and cooktops, ensuring your fireplace will stand up to the hottest conditions, work more efficiently and last the distance.

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.

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.
