Product Description

The MF Fire Nova C Cast Iron Ash Lip is a cast iron shelf that bolts to the front of the Nova C firebox and catches the coals, bark, and ash that inevitably tumble forward when you load wood. It does two jobs: it keeps embers off your floor day to day, and — paired with the right legs — it can change what kind of hearth pad your installation requires.

Key Features

  • Solid cast iron: a proper shelf, not stamped sheet metal, matched to the Nova C's front.
  • Two working depths: adjustable to sit at 4" or 6" of exposed shelf, depending on how much catch area you want.
  • 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 coals and bark before they hit the hearth, which matters most when reloading onto a hot coal bed.
  • Can simplify floor protection: per MF Fire, a Nova C on 6" legs with the ash lip installed needs only a Type 1 ember pad rather than an insulated hearth pad.

Why an Ash Lip Changes Your Hearth Pad

Floor protection requirements depend on the stove's leg height and whether the ash lip is fitted. Per MF Fire, a Nova C on 6" legs with this ash lip installed needs only a Type 1 ember pad — a much simpler and cheaper piece of floor protection than an insulated R-value pad. If you're planning an install on shorter legs, or you're weighing leg kits against hearth pad cost, call us before you buy the pad; the ash lip often pays for itself in what it saves on floor protection. (MF Fire also offers 3" and 6" leg kits — ask us about availability.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the ash lip fit the Nova 2X?

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

What's the difference between the 4" and 6" positions?

The exposed shelf depth. The 4" position keeps the stove's footprint tighter; the 6" position gives a larger catch area and uses the two included filler pieces. The spacer plates and longer bolts included in the kit handle the mounting.

Can I add it to a stove that's already installed?

Yes — it bolts to the front of the firebox. Confirm afterward that your floor protection still meets the requirements for your leg height and configuration; call us if you're unsure.

Does it replace a hearth pad?

No. It can reduce what the hearth pad has to be (for example, a Type 1 ember pad on 6" legs per MF Fire), but every installation still requires proper floor protection.
