Buckley Rumford Fireplaces, models R30, R36 and R48, are new technology site-built wood burning appliances constructed primarily of manufacturer-built, supplied or specified refractory or masonry materials that meet the emission requirements of Section II.A of Colorado Regulation #4.

Note: Section II.A pertains to masonry heaters. The regulation doesn't have any standards for fireplaces. But, since Rumford fireplaces meet the emission standards required by Regulation #4 for masonry heaters, many couties and communities in Colorado have approved Rumford fireplaces. In fact, based on test results, the State of Colorado approved two models of Rumford fireplaces until it was determined that they didn't meet the deffinition for "masonry heater" in the regulation. See letter from State of Colorado.

Non certified Buckley Rumford Fireplaces: If you are not building a "Certified Buckley Rumford Fireplace" required in Washington and parts of California, Colorado and other places that regulate fireplace emissions see the General Rumford Fireplace Instructions.

Guarantees: All materials used to build Buckley Rumford fireplaces, as specified in these Instructions, meet or exceed the appropriate ASTM standards and meet or exceed the requirements for masonry fireplaces set forth in all the national model building codes. Our customers have also asked us to guarantee that Buckley Rumford fireplaces will exhaust all the products of combustion, or "draw". There are many factors beyond our control which can affect the performance of any fireplace, the greatest of these being excessively negative indoor air pressure, but we are willing to make this qualified guarantee: If built according to these Instructions, Buckley Rumford fireplaces are guaranteed to exhaust all the products of combustion, provided the ventilation system in the house is balanced.
