About

Ethos Woodfires supply New Zealand's Cleanest Range of Woodfires and Log Burners. Designed and manufactured in New Zealand, we represent the evolution of the wood fire as a clean and efficient heating solution

High Output Power

  • Ultra-high-temperature combustion air is force-fed into three independent burn chambers at the rear of the firebox as well as one at the front.
  • Combustion extreme.

Big things come in small packages

  • The combination of highly pre-heated combustion air and the specially designed Ethos firebox with four independent burn areas act as a supercharger for burning wood.
  • Nearly everything burns, from the solids and volatiles to the smoke itself. This is key to why our fires are so efficient at generating heat, and why their emissions are so low.
  • We regularly receive feedback from new owners amazed that they are getting so much heat from so few trips to the wood stack.
  • Other fires billow smoke from their chimneys, but with an efficient Ethos your neighbours will be hard-pressed to tell your fire is going.
  • Better for your fuel costs, better for the environment, and far less residual ash to clean in the morning. 
  • The fire also burns brightly, so you are rewarded with a more entertaining visual experience while you enjoy the heat.

Bespoke Colour Options

  • You can now order your Ethos firebox in a customised colour to suit your room decor at no extra cost.
  • Choose from over 100 custom colours from Dulux Pacific Gold and Duralloy colour palettes to give you a truly customised look.
  • Make it compliment your room, or make a statement with your fire, the choice is yours.
  • For those who prefer the traditional black option, we still have that too.
  • And if you change your colour scheme later, no problem. Either recolour your existing panels or order a replacement set.

Testimonials

I would like to thank everyone at Ethos for a great woodburner – I had hoped it would heat the living room and maybe the kitchen – well – it heats the whole house and there are no drafts! I am SO happy with the new burner – not only does it heat the house – the new Ethos uses a fraction of what the old open fire did AND gives out so much heat that two bedrooms off the hallway are wonderfully warm just by natural convection.

Our Ethos fire is absolutely amazing, it heats our small house (100sqm) so efficiently that we have every door in house open, all rooms are heated and toasty warm. In fact sometimes we have to open windows to cool down and be able to sleep. Thanks Ethos, you have made our winter so much more comfortable
JILL & PETER F - ETHOS AQUOS
I was advised to buy an Ethos Fireplace after having numerous we'll known fireplaces over the years in houses we have owned. I was uneducated on these Fireplaces and uncertain but willing to purchase an Ethos on educated advice.
After the first Fire my uncertainty was squashed and we are stoked with the efficiency and the amount of heat this fire produces.
We purchased the Freestanding Phoenix to heat the upper level of our house which is 125 sqm and this fireplace does an amazing job at heating the entire level without having to install a heat transfer kit or opening a window to draw the heat through the house. We have gone from a very chilly house to a very toasty and comfy house.
Thanks for the fantastic advice on helping us to get the best fireplace we have ever used!
CLINT & LOU G - ETHOS PHOENIX
My husband and I have to admit we had reservations about heat output after seeing the size of the wood box, but we needn’t have had any doubts – this woodburner is excellent! We are now using half the wood we used before i.e. instead of three boxes per night, we are now using only one box. It truly just shows how inefficient our older woodburner was. We are very impressed.
ROBYN L - ETHOS GENESIS
We have had our Ethos inbuilt fireplace for five years now. This is the most economical heat packing fireplace we have ever had. If installing another heater we would not look beyond using the same again. We have found a secret is to get it roaring and when there are plenty of hot embers keep the fuel up and shut the vent down to slow burn. We installed a heat transfer system in the house so it warms the rest of the house with ease.
MICHAEL G - ETHOS ARES
It is such a fantastic fireplace. I am impressed with the lack of emissions it produces … I’ve been outside on quite a few occasions to see how much smoke was coming out of my chimney, and in all cases it was next to impossible to actually see any smoke whatsoever.
I’m also very impressed with how easy it is to get the fire going. I only need a couple of handfuls of screwed up paper and a very minimal amount of kindling. It’s virtually as easy as pressing a button.
The efficiency of the burning is certainly apparent in the lack of ashes left behind. I haven’t had to clean the fire out once yet, and I suspect I’ll probably get through most of winter without emptying ashes.
Certainly highly recommended and have given the fire glowing (pun intended) reviews to friends.
