Erkki Jarvinen, Technical Manager and Engineer at Tulikivi spearheaded the concept of combining a large soapstone mass with a metal and refractory core to create a fireplace that could heat with both radiant and convective heat. This fireplace has a by-pass damper that will send the heated gases straight up the chimney after the stone is sufficiently heated, thereby avoiding overheating the soapstone. The fireplace continues to produce convective heat in this by-pass mode and gives guest a longer opportunity to enjoy fire viewing.
