Fire ban? No problem. You can burn year-round with a Serious Incinerator.

Made by Northland company Iron Tree Products, the appropriately named ‘Serious Incinerator’ is built to conform to New Zealand Fire and Emergency regulations.

Iron Tree Products’ Milton Brown says the Serious Incinerator was originally manufactured by Newman Engineering “with some in constant use for close on 20 years”.

“The addition of an optional Spark Arrestor and Ash Guard enables the Serious Incinerator to be used as an approved incinerator even during a Restricted Fire Season without a fire permit – although there could be regional variations depending on the proximity to such things as forestry,” says Milton.

The Serious Incinerator comes in three sizes – small 600mm diameter, medium 750mm diameter and large 900mm diameter.

Each features a lid, which safely latches back to the chimney and a heavy-duty grate. Ash is easily removed through the large access opening at the base of the incinerator.

Milton says Serious Incinerators are extremely popular with everyone from farmers and horticulturists to lifestyle block and rural homeowners across New Zealand.

“It’s not unusual to receive orders from as far afield as Southland.”

Iron Tree Products is a family-owned business operating from a workshop in Titoki, Whangārei. Their focus is on producing products, which are well engineered and manufactured “so they last for decades”.

The product range includes animal shelters and pens and flat decks for Toyota Landcruisers with the recent addition of handcrafted braziers and charcoal barbecues.
