Rear vented F3-CB Jotul on a 45 degree corner install into a tee outside. You can read his testimonial here.

Dear John,
I would like to thank you for producing what I consider to be the most revolutionary product for drafting a fireplace. I had contacted your company after seeing your product video on Youtube. I have been searching for solutions now for over a year since my neighbor placed large trees on our property line causing my terrible draft issues. I spent over $900.00 on various products (ie. chimney liner extension, fan draft inducer, Vacu Stack) to no avail and thought that I was simply destined to live with smoke filled rooms ..... until I got the Draw Collar. After placing the Draw Collar on my rear venting Jotul F3CB I could not be happier. I simply plug it in, let it warm up for 20 minutes and light my fire. I have not had any issues getting a good draft/fire going immediately WITHOUT ANY SMOKE!! Your product is well worth the money!! I was quite impressed with its construction design as well as the quality materials used in the product. Thank you again for solving my draft issue!! We could not be happier now that we can once again look forward to many warm evenings WITHOUT SMOKE!!

Very truly yours,
Y.E.

The Draw Collar even works horizontally!  

We are so very grateful to have come across the Draw Collar. We had
desperately been searching for a solution for our down draft problem.
We have a 38' stove pipe from our basement to the peak of our roof.
Before getting the Draw Collar we would have smoke bellowing into theroom every time we went to start our wood stove. We tried everything
from a heat gun to try and blow hot air up the stove pipe prior to
starting the stove, to a new chimney cap which was suppose to eliminate
down drafts, to lighting balls of newspaper to try and create a chimney
effect and the list goes on. None of these options seemed to fix our
problem. We were tired of having soot and smoke in our home and all
the smoke alarms going off in our house each time we wanted to light a
fire. I kept search on the internet for a solution and finally came
across the Draw Collar. It really does do the trick just as it is
advertised to. We plug it in and run the draw collar for at least 30
minutes which sends hot air up the chimney. After the
stove pipe is “primed” by doing this we light off our fire and then
unplug the draw collar. It has totally solved all our down draft
problems that we use to have when first lighting a fire. It is well
worth the price. It looks nice and is easy to install and rugged.
Thanks so much!

Warmest,

R. N. from New Hampshire

The Draw Collar is a very popular product amongst homeowners who have used it. Here is a testimonial from Lincoln and Jilene C.

John,

February 1999 we purchased a wood burning stove from The Fireplace Place Inc. at 1678 N State St Orem, UT. After years of struggling with smoke from our stove we heard about the "Draw Collar" which had just been developed. It was installed and to our great delight there was no smoke problem. The fire started immediately and the smoke went directly up the chimney. We would recommend this "Draw Collar" to anyone who may be having problems with smoke from their wood burning stove.

Thank you,

Lincoln and Jilene C.

Expo Report & Introducing the IPI Solution!

HPBExpo 2011 in Salt Lake was great!  We were so pleased to meet so many new people, and reconnect with some of those who we already deal with.  It's good to see the word spreading about the Draw Collar, and to hear stories of satisfied customers whose smoking stove problems are being solved by our product.

This year, we were pleased to partner with Jotul to create a solution for gas inserts that have the IPI systems, and the problems inherent with them.  By using our technology, consumers can now use their IPI inserts - in IPI mode - year round.  Like it says on the banner, "The only IPI gas insert that's not afraid of the cold!"

The picture of the display illustrates the air movement in a typical IPI gas insert without Draw Collar Technology.  The bottom box simulates how the cold air just settles and makes it difficult for proper functioning at ignition.  With Draw Collar Technology, the air/draw is going prior to ignition, thereby resolving all of the complications that customers complain about.  --Not to mention the fact that by being able to use the IPI system year round, customers save hundreds of dollars vs. having the standing pilot (even just for winter months)!

This technology included in the Jotul GI 450 II and the Scan 45I were recognized as a finalist in the Vesta Competition this year.  Once again, we are excited to be a part of innovation in the industry.

This final picture is of our tireless team celebrating the end of a busy, productive show.  Thanks guys!  Your efforts and contribution to our success is immeasurable.  

2011 Expo Here We Come!

Thank you for your patience as we try to get our website back up and running...

In the meantime, we are busily preparing for the 2011 HPBExpo here in Salt Lake City! It's hard to believe that this will be our 3rd Expo!  If you make it to the Expo, come and see our exciting  new products (hint - it's not just for wood anymore...), as well as some changes to the design of our DCWS (wood stove Draw Collar).   We are also excited to announce that we finally have 8" Draw Collars available!

Come see us in booth 4433

  Since we have been selling product, we have YET to have one that did not solve the customer's smoking stove issues.  We are so confident that the Draw Collar will work for you, that we will guarantee it.

If the Draw Collar does not solve your draft/smoke issues, we will refund your money.

We have dozens of testimonials from satisfied customers, and the feedback has indicated that not only does the Draw Collar solve the smoke issues, but it has helped with carbon monoxide problems as well.  To see some testimonials, visit our facebook page, where we have posted many of those with pictures of installed units.
