Why Choose Pyro Fires?

Why Choose Pyro Fires?

Choosing a wood burner is about more than simply selecting a style you like. You're investing in a heating appliance that should provide reliable warmth for decades, be easy to service, and continue performing year after year.

Pyro Fires have built a reputation throughout New Zealand by taking a completely different approach to wood heating. Rather than relying solely on a traditional steel firebox, Pyro uses a heavy ceramic Heat Sustainer that absorbs and gradually releases heat, creating exceptionally efficient, long-lasting warmth.

At Dr Flue, we recommend Pyro Fires for homeowners wanting outstanding fuel efficiency, genuine overnight burn capability and one of the most innovative wood burner designs available. Whether you're replacing an ageing fireplace or installing heating in a new build, Pyro offers a unique solution unlike any conventional wood burner.


Designed for Long, Efficient Heating

Pyro Fires were developed in New Zealand and have been refining their ceramic heat storage technology for more than 40 years. Instead of rapidly losing heat like a conventional steel firebox, the ceramic Heat Sustainer stores energy and releases it slowly over many hours.

Every Pyro model is an Ultra Low Emission Burner (ULEB), making them an excellent option where low-emission heating is required.


Built Around Ceramic Heat Storage

What makes Pyro Fires unique is their ceramic thermal mass.

Many models feature:

  • Heavy ceramic Heat Sustainer

  • Ultra Low Emission Burner (ULEB)

  • Genuine overnight burn capability

  • Extremely low firewood consumption

  • High-temperature cooktop

  • Wetback options on selected models

  • Up to 100 colour options available

The ceramic chamber absorbs heat during the burn cycle and continues releasing warmth long after the flames have died down, helping maintain a comfortable indoor temperature while using less firewood.


A Different Type of Wood Burner

Pyro Fires focus on efficiency rather than producing intense bursts of heat.

Their range includes:

  • Pyro Classic

  • Pyro Mini

  • Ultra Low Emission Burners

  • Wetback models

  • Colour customisation options

Many Auckland homeowners choose Pyro Fires because they value long, steady heating, low firewood consumption and overnight burn performance rather than frequent reloading.


Designed to Be Serviced

A quality wood burner should provide dependable heating for many years.

Pyro Fires are designed for long-term ownership, with replacement parts and servicing support available when required.

At Dr Flue we supply genuine Pyro replacement parts and provide professional servicing, repairs and chimney inspections to keep your fireplace operating safely and efficiently.
