Product Description

The MF Fire Nova 2X Cast Iron Ash Lip is a cast iron shelf that bolts to the front of the Nova 2X firebox and catches coals, bark, and ash as you load the big 2.4 cu ft firebox. Beyond keeping embers off your floor, it has a practical effect most buyers miss: on the Nova 2X it lowers the hearth pad requirement, which can save real money on floor protection.

Key Features

  • Solid cast iron: a proper shelf matched to the Nova 2X's wide front, not an afterthought accessory.
  • Two working depths: adjustable to sit at 4" or 6" of exposed shelf.
  • Everything for the install: includes two spacer plates for the rear legs, four longer bolts, and two filler pieces used in the 6" position, per the MF Fire manual.
  • Cleaner loading: catches what tumbles forward when you reload onto a hot coal bed — useful on a stove you'll load with larger splits.
  • Lowers hearth pad requirements: per MF Fire, a Nova 2X on 3" legs needs an R-2.0 pad without the ash lip but only R-1.35 with it; on 6" legs with the ash lip, only a Type 1 ember pad is required.

Why an Ash Lip Changes Your Hearth Pad

Hearth pad requirements for the Nova 2X depend on leg height and whether this ash lip is installed. Per MF Fire: on 3" legs, you need an R-2.0 insulated pad without the ash lip, but only R-1.35 with it. On 6" legs with the ash lip, the requirement drops to a simple Type 1 ember pad. Insulated pads get expensive quickly, so if you're planning your floor protection now, price the ash lip into the comparison — it often comes out ahead. (MF Fire also offers 3" and 6" leg kits — ask us about availability.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fit the Nova C?

No. This part (AL003) fits the Nova 2X only. The Nova C uses the AL002 ash lip.

How much hearth pad does the ash lip actually save me?

Per MF Fire: on 3" legs, the requirement drops from R-2.0 to R-1.35 with the ash lip installed. On 6" legs with the ash lip, only a Type 1 ember pad is needed. Which applies to you depends on your legs — call us and we'll confirm.

What's included for mounting?

Two spacer plates for the rear legs, four longer bolts, and two filler pieces used when the lip is set in the 6" position, per the MF Fire manual.

Can I install it on a stove that's already in service?

Yes — it bolts to the front of the firebox with the stove cold. Recheck your floor protection against the new configuration afterward.
