- The Firemizer is a uniquely patented device to maximize the heat output of your fire while burning less fuel.
- Up to 38% savings on the amount of wood burned with the Firemizer mean more efficient fuel use.
- Creosote build-up is reduced by 57% resulting in a clean efficient burn and no chemicals
- Limits particulate emissions by up to 72 Percent
- Place the Firemizer on the base of the grate or fireplace, build the fire on top as normal and enjoy a warm fire and fuel savings
- Firemizer is 100% recyclable and lasts up to 500 hours per grid - can also be cut and customized to the size of your firebox, simply lay on stove grate, place fuel on top and light.
Developed and manufactured in the UK by Microtex Products Limited and in the USA by Microtex Products Inc, Firemizer is a fuel-saving device made up of a special blend of stainless steel alloys that are patented and welded together to create a flexible grid which is placed on the base of your stove or hearth.

Once in place, Firemizer reduces the burn rate and spreads the heat evenly across your fire to ensure all of the fuel is burnt thoroughly, enabling you to enjoy your perfect fire for longer and cut costs on firewood & coal.
Independent tests by the University of Cambridge, the University of Nottingham and Kiwa GASTEC at CRE in the UK, as well as OMNI-Test Laboratories Inc in the USA have all shown that using Firemizer can save you up to 38% on your fuel costs and can last up to 500 hours.
At SilverFire we are interested in longer duration burns with are specialized clean-burning stoves, especially at night with models with smaller fireboxes. During pyrolysis in your stove, the stainless steel woven Firemizer matte is working like a dampner as your fuel is burning, this is extending the burn while protecting your firebox grate, and ensuring more complete combustion. So your fuel is burning more efficiently and economically. After your embers are cold, you'll find primarily just fine ash to dispose on top of your ventilated matte. There is a slight reduction in firebox temperature, however, the advantage of having to feed the firebox less often is highly desirable at night.
Manufacturing process:
Firemizer is manufactured from a special blend of stainless steel alloys using a patented process which involves displacing molten metal at >1600°C onto a fast spinning cooled drum to create the extremely durable and conductive metal fibres. These fibres are then welded together and cut to create a flexible heat grid that can be placed at the base of a stove or hearth to spread the heat evenly and make the fire burn longer.
The stainless steel alloys are cooled at 1 million degrees per second during the patented manufacturing process to give Firemizer its unique properties.
Where is it made:
Firemizer is a unique solid fuel saving device manufactured in the UK by Microtex Products Limited and in the USA by Microtex Products Inc – both are wholly-owned subsidiary of the market-leading Dynamic-Materials Group. The group specializes in the production of high tolerance metals for extremely demanding aerospace, automotive and industrial applications around the world with quality and environmental assurance certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 international standards.
Our first business was established in 1971 and the group now has more than 40 years’ experience in offering technical solutions in materials science for demanding high-temperature applications. The group has worked with major global business partners such as NASA, Daimler Chrysler, BMW, and Volvo. Dynamic-Materials Group products are used in a wide range of applications, including the launch pads of the NASA Space Shuttle, the high-temperature baffles used in exhaust systems of high-performance sports cars and motorcycles, as well as many other demanding high-temperature applications within metal processing, cement manufacture, and incineration plants.
How to use:
The beauty of Firemizer is its simplicity!
Simply place the Firemizer grid on the base of your stove or hearth and build your fire on top by adding your firewood or coal as usual. As soon as you start the fire the Firemizer grid will begin to heat up quickly. This is where the savings commence!
Firemizer will typically last up to 500 burning hours, which is equivalent to 6 weeks if used for 12 hours per day.
As Firemizer will ensure the fuel is burnt more thoroughly, there will be a considerable reduction in the amount of ash produced and any ash that is left will be a very fine powder with no lumps in it. This fine ash can simply be dusted off before each new fire.
