On-Fire

Still relying on an open fireplace to keep your home warm this winter? You could be losing most of your heat straight up the chimney 🔥
​
Here’s the difference.
​
A traditional open fireplace may look beautiful, but it’s surprisingly inefficient, with only around 10–20% of the heat actually warming your room.
​
A closed-combustion fireplace, on the other hand, is designed to work much smarter.
​
Why?
✔ Seals the fire safely behind glass
✔ Controls airflow precisely
✔ Burns hotter and cleaner
✔ Extracts more heat from the smoke
✔ Radiates and convects heat efficiently into your space
​
The result?
Efficiency ratings of around 70–85%
​
That’s a massive improvement, which means even a relatively small amount of wood can generate serious, usable warmth for your home.
​
This is exactly why so many homeowners are making the switch.
​
At On Fire Fireplaces & Braais, we help clients upgrade from inefficient open fireplaces to high-performance closed-combustion units that deliver real comfort through the colder months.
​
Whether you prefer the timeless charm of cast iron or the sleek finish of modern steel, there’s a solution designed for your home.

Let’s clear up one of the biggest fireplace misconceptions we hear 🔥
​
A lot of people assume the kW rating on a closed-combustion fireplace refers to the size of the firebox or how many logs it can hold.
​
Not quite.
​
The kW rating is all about heat output over time, not how dramatic the flames look or how much wood you can cram inside.
​
Here’s the simple version:
1 kW = 1,000 watts of heat energy
So if a fireplace is rated at 10kW, it means that under proper operating conditions, it can continuously deliver around 10,000 watts of heat into your room.
​
What it doesn’t mean:
✘ Giant flames
✘ Huge wood loads
✘ Burning everything at once
​
What really matters is choosing a fireplace with the right kW output for the size of the space you want to heat.
​
Too small? It won’t keep up.
Too large? You may not run it efficiently.
That’s why expert guidance matters.
​
At On Fire Fireplaces & Braais, we help you choose the right fireplace for your home, ensuring you get efficient warmth that works beautifully for your space, whether you prefer classic cast iron or sleek modern steel.

As the evenings grow cooler and winter starts making itself at home, there’s nothing better than stepping into a space filled with the warmth of a beautifully chosen fireplace 🔥
​
We recently had the privilege of working alongside Maria at Mardi Interior on a project that perfectly captures what we love most at On Fire Fireplaces & Braais... helping turn a vision into reality.
​
This journey included stunning upgrades to existing open-hearth fireplaces with the installation of the Kratki K9 and Dovre 540, bringing efficient warmth and timeless elegance into these home spaces.
​
We also transformed a large open event hall with the striking Lacunza Verona Double Sided on log store, creating a bold focal point that offers warmth, atmosphere, and connection from every angle.
​
This is what we do best. Whether it’s classic cast iron charm or sleek modern steel design, we work closely with homeowners, designers, and visionaries to create fireplaces that don’t just heat a space… they complete it.
​
There’s something special about seeing an idea become a warm, welcoming reality.

Today I was truly blessed by a very special company, ❤️🔥

There’s something about a fireplace that feels deeply nostalgic and emotional to me. It’s never just about the warmth… it’s about the memories created around it.

My Mom absolutely loved sitting in front of a fireplace with all of us together as a family. Those moments became some of the most special memories of my life. Since she passed away in 2018, not a single day goes by that I don’t think about her in some way.

For the longest time, I never thought I’d experience that same feeling of comfort and togetherness again… but today, On-Fire changed that for me.

Our beautiful Kenna 82 has already transformed our home into a warm, cozy space filled with peace, comfort and new memories for and me. 🔥🏡

What makes On-Fire so special is the passion and pride they put into every installation. They truly believe a fireplace should last for decades and become part of your family’s story — and you can feel that in everything they do.

Thank you to the incredible On-Fire team for giving us more than just a fireplace… you gave us a feeling, a space to connect, and something that will become part of our own family memories for years to come. ❤️

If you’re looking to create a special memory space in your home, I can highly recommend them. Go visit their website www.on-fire.co.za and explore their incredible range of fireplaces. 🔥
