Cast iron significantly boosts wood burning fireplace efficiency by up to 50%, thanks to its ability to store and radiate heat. While standard steel may warp in a wood fire, stainless steel and heat-resistant steel cannot match cast iron's heat storage and gradual radiation capabilities. This is why cast iron has been the preferred material for centuries to improve the wood burning fireplace efficiency through heat radiation. The weight of the fireplace fire back also plays a crucial role—the heavier, the better and longer-lasting the heat radiation. less
