Choosing a fireback for your hearth is an exciting event. One must take into consideration the space available and aesthetics you want to achieve. A fireback should be wide enough to shield the hearth wall directly behind the fire. Remember that it is not uncommon for there to be anywhere from 3 inches to 10 inches of exposed back wall on either side of a fireback. The top of the fireback must be below the opening of the flue.
To that end, the ideally proportioned Pennsylvania Firebacks Pineapple Cast Iron Fireback was fashioned after the design indicative of the Georgian Period. The pineapple is a long-standing symbol of hospitality and was found in many decorative pieces created during the 1800s. The simple lines and classic feel of this fireback were created by artist J. Del Conner in 1982, and its appeal is still as strong today as it was over twenty years ago. Firebacks are shipped with a water base black paint to prevent rust build up during transit. To give a brighter finish to the fireback and to protect the casting from rust after use with a fire, an application of water base graphite stove polish is recommended. Applied with a toothbrush or rag, this paste, when dry, can be polished with a wire brush or rag giving the fireback an attractive silverfish sheen.
