Comparison of Platinum Embers vs. Rock Wool Only
Dramatically Brighter Embers
Midwest Hearth Platinum Embers are catalytic embers for your vented gas fireplace or log set. When placed on top of existing mineral wool ember beds, the catalytic embers combust unburned fuel from the burner to provide a dynamically more realistic looking ember. In addition to creating a bright flickering appearance like that of real wood ember beds, these embers radiate broadband infrared heat thus creating a warmer fire and reducing the formation of soot on gas logs.
Real Platinum Catalyst
- Platinum embers work by combusting escaping hydrocarbons from the burner catalytically which cause the embers to glow and fluoresce.
Brighter
- Made from high-grade ceramic wool and coated with a small amount of platinum. When placed in a gas fireplace, they provide a significantly brighter glow.
Hotter
- In addition to creating a bright flickering appearance like that of real wood ember beds, these embers radiate broadband infrared heat thus creating a warmer fire and reducing the formation of soot on gas logs.

Significant difference from the home builders product. Replaced everything and we are extremely happy with the result. Of all the different products that we bought, this is one of the more impressive ones.

As I said in the headline, this is a small bag, but enough to do two gas fireplaces, and they really work great. Nice warm glow to increase efficiency. It's worth the price; after all, it's platinum.

So happy we found this and used on top of new regular embers for gas fire, it plays around with fire and lights up at random as if real !

these embers make a great fit for liquid fueled hand warmers or catalytic hand warmers like zippos. makes them run a little hotter and seems to last longer.they are a bit expensive, but once you buy a pack of these embers you really don’t have to buy anymore since the catalysts last for about 100 uses. This could possibly last a lifetime if you use the right amount.I’ve rebuilt about five zippo catalysts and I’ve only gone through about an 1/8th of the bag.Just be careful to wear gloves and to not breathe in the dust it makes because I’m sure it could do some harm to your lungs.But overall these are a lot better than buying the expensive catalyst pads that aren’t great quality.I also bought another pack of these to use in my gas fireplace and they worked extremely well and were very easy to set up.overall great product and the price isn’t that bad in the long run. Hope this helps!

i bought this cause after i picked up a few hand warmers one which only worked one time because the platinum pad was very thin and kind of fell apart. after i put some of this in the warmer it worked really well, so well i just put it in the other two the same way. i will say they do burn hotter.....hot enough where you cant really hold them unless they are in the bags. im sure i can tweak the amount to get it more close to the stock temp but i dont mind the extra heat.

Bought this to "beef up" my Zippo hand warmers, it really works! These things are hot as all hell now! The bag is small, more than enough for my needs, but if you're buying it for an actual fire place, you will want to buy more than just one.

Packed the spring with the fiber in JON-E hand warmer from 1960. Not as hot as the original but pretty good overall.

Given the cost of replacement gauze's for pocket warmers, this is a lifetime supply of material which I can use to re-pack the heads as needed. There is so much that I have now include this bag of platinized wool in my will, for generations to enjoy. Should also hold its value on the precious metal market.

As with other reviewers I have purchased this for replacing the catalyst material for my handwarmers. A massive saving using this compared to buying individual catalyst heads.

I've bought the catalyt wool as a replacement or tuning material for the burner in pocket warmers. The function is given, it works good so far. But unfortunately, there are only 4g in the bag instead of the stated 5g. That is 20% less than I paid for!

Expensive as it is, it works very well in kerosene hand warmers as catalytic ember wool in the head.
