What Makes Ethos Different?

Most wood fires draw combustion air from inside the home, creating cold air movement and reducing heating efficiency. The Ethos Genesis takes a completely different approach.

The patented EconAir bi-directional flue system isolates the fire from the home's internal air supply. Combustion air is drawn down the outer section of the flue and pre-heated by exhaust gases to over 300°C before entering the firebox. This results in hotter combustion, improved efficiency, lower emissions, and significantly reduced firewood consumption.

Because the fire is isolated from the home's air network, there are no cold draughts and the Genesis performs exceptionally well in modern airtight homes.

Unique High Output Firebox

The Genesis incorporates Ethos' unique multi-chamber firebox design featuring one primary front burn zone and three independent rear burn chambers. Force-fed combustion air enters at temperatures exceeding 300°C, ensuring more complete combustion of solids, volatiles, smoke, and gases.

The result is greater heat output from a compact firebox, cleaner burning performance, lower emissions, reduced ash buildup, lower fuel consumption, and lower ongoing running costs.

Designed & Manufactured in New Zealand

Every Ethos Genesis wood fire is proudly designed and manufactured in Canterbury, New Zealand. Built using robust 5mm steel construction and advanced robotic welding processes, the Genesis is engineered specifically for New Zealand homes and conditions.

Unlike many imported alternatives, Ethos fires are backed by local expertise, local manufacturing, and a comprehensive 15-year firebox warranty.

Available in Over 160 Colours

Ethos offers one of the largest colour ranges available in the wood fire industry, with more than 160 colour options available at no additional cost. Whether you prefer a traditional finish or want to create a striking architectural feature, the Genesis can be customised to complement your home's interior design.

Unlike many manufacturers that charge extra for custom finishes, Ethos allows you to choose from an extensive colour palette without increasing the purchase price.

Downloadable colour charts are available below for the Dulux Pacific Gold and Dulux Duralloy ranges.

Please confirm colour availability before purchase. Colours may display differently on computer, tablet, and phone screens. For accurate colour matching, we recommend viewing a physical colour chart available from your local Dulux reseller.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cook on the Genesis?

Yes. The Genesis features a removable top grill that exposes the top of the firebox, allowing direct cooking on the fire.

How do I choose a colour?

Ethos Wood Fires are available in a wide range of Dulux Duralloy and Pacific Gold powder-coated finishes. Download the Dulux Pacific Gold or Dulux Duralloy colour charts above and advise your preferred colour when ordering. Please confirm colour availability before purchase. Colours may display differently on screens, so we recommend checking a physical Dulux colour chart where accurate colour matching is important.

What is the EconAir flue system?

Is the Genesis suitable for modern airtight homes?

Yes. The patented EconAir system was specifically designed to operate efficiently in modern airtight buildings without drawing warm air from inside the home.

Is a flue kit required?
