Modern Rumford Fireplaces

Building on the innovative fireplace design created by Count Rumford in the 18th century, Moberg Fireplaces has created a 21st century update with prefabricated kits that define the ultimate wood-burning fireplace. The Modern Rumford is a patented assembly of components that guide masons to construct the precise geometries of an efficient and clean-burning fireplace. Our addition of insulation and modern refractory parts, combined with laboratory testing and certifications, has advanced the traditional masonry fireplace to a new level. The Modern Rumford is a valuable tool for achieving functional installations in every state, and is also approved for use in sensitive airsheds in the west. With kits ranging in size from 36” wide to 96” wide, and with options for doors and gratings, this modern invention has found a permanent place alongside the Count’s original, with even greater opportunities for warmth and cleaner burning.

Detailed drawings of Moberg Modern Rumford Kits and their typical installations are available upon request in PDF and CAD formats, along with brochures, technical details, and pricing.
