(Dry cordwood) 71.1 % (HHV)5 76.6 % (LVH)6
Optimum overall efficiency7 78 %
Optimum heat transfer efficiency8 74 %
Average particulate emissions rate9 0.95 g/h (EPA / CSA B415.1-10)10
Average CO11 61.3 g/h
1Recommended heating area and maximum burn time may vary subject to location in home, chimney draft,heat loss factors, climate, fuel type
and other variables. The recommended heated area for a given appliance is dened by the manufacturer as its capacity to maintain a minimum
acceptable temperature in the designated area in case of a power failure.
2The overall rebox calculation is an approximation and is not intended to be used for loading. This volume includes a buffer zone to allow an easier
fuel insertion, prevent ash spillage and allow the air wash to work properly.
3The maximum heat output (dry cordwood) is based on a loading density varying between 15 lb/ft3and 20 lb/ft3. Other performances are based on
a fuel load prescribed by the standard. The specied loading density varies between 7 lb/ft³ and 12 lb/ft3. The moisture content is between 19%
and 25%.
4As measured per CSA B415.1-10 stack loss method.
5Higher Heating Value of the fuel.
6Lower Heating Value of the fuel.
7Optimum overall efciency at a specic burn rate (LHV).
8The optimum heat transfer efciency is for the low burn rate and represents the appliance's ability to convert the energy contained in the wood logs
into energy transferred to the room in the form of heat and does not take into account the chemical losses during combustion.
9This appliance is ofcially tested and certied by an independent agency.
10 Tested and certied in compliance with CFR 40 part 60, subpart AAA, section 60.534(a)(1(ii) and draft ASTM WK47329-14.

2 Mobile homes (Canada) or manufactured homes (USA): The US Department of Housing and Urban Development describes “manufactured homes”
better known as “mobile homes” as follows; buildings built on xed wheels and those transported on temporary wheels/axles and set on a permanent
foundation. In Canada, a mobile home is a dwelling for which the manufacture and assembly of each component is completed or substantially
completed prior to being moved to a site for installation on a foundation and connection to service facilities and which conforms to the CAN/CSA-
Z240 MH standard.

2.4 EPA Loading Procedure
The best loading method for efficient and clean combustion with this fireplace is the EPA loading
method. The images below show the space in the firebox where the logs are to be placed. It is
important to always respect this space and not to put logs in the grid area marked with an X.
The marked area is defined by the space between the glass and primary air channel. Leave
enough space between the logs for good air circulation. Using more than the usable firebox
volume for loading wood will result in poor combustion. The Usable firebox volume of 2.67 ft³
shown below is the one used during EPA emissions certification. The log length recommended
for this stove is 16 inches and the EPA testing were done with log length of 16 in. The fuel
specie used for the EPA certification was beech.
2.4.1 Air control
The air control is located underneath the ash shelf. To open the
air control, pull the air control handle completely to the left (High).
This will increase the burn rate. To close the air control, push
the air control handle completely to the right. This will permit to
achieve the lowest possible burn rate.
2.4.2 High burn rate (primary air control open)
For Kindling and Start-up fuel configuration refer to the pictures below. Split the start-up fuel log
into 8 pieces. Crisscross at 45 degrees the 8 pieces on the brick on 3 rows (From the bottom,
first row 3 pieces-second row 3 pieces - third row 2 pieces) and leaving some space between
each wood pieces. Crisscross at 45 degrees the kindling on the top of the start-up fuel on
3 rows. The kindling is made of between 10-12 small pieces that are about 10% of moisture
content. Place newspaper sheets on top of the kindling. Light up the paper and let the door
at 90 degrees between one minute and one minute and 30 seconds, then close the door. Air
control is fully open.

When there are only faint flames remaining and most of the wood is turned into coal, break
ashes and level coal bed. Close the door.
Add High Fire load in an East-West configuration. Place the first two logs at the back of the
firebox, facing east-west, one on top of the other. Leave approximately 3 inches of air space
between the rear firebrick and the first log. See Figures 12 and 13 for an example load for
maximum burn rate inside the combustion chamber (illustrative only). Then, place 2 logs in the

middle and 2 logs in front of the combustion chamber, one on top of the other (6 logs in total).
Leave one inch between log columns. Leave the door open at 90 degrees between one minute
and one minute and 30 seconds. Close the door, start the fan at maximum speed and let it burn
until the weight hits the target.

Figure 11: Position of the top pieces
(High burn)
For optimal loading of a high fire, take small size fuel pieces (between 2- and 3-inches cross
section dimensions approximately) in the back of the firebox and use medium to large size fuel
pieces (3.5 to 4.5 inches of cross section dimensions approximately) in front of the firebox.
2.4.3 Low burn rate
After the high fire, if there is visible yellow flame, close the air control. When the charcoal bed
weight is between 14 and 17% of the low fire load weight, turn off the blower, open the door,
stir the coals slightly, just enough to have a level plane coal bed, and let the door remain slightly
open for 1 minute before loading the low burn test fuel.
For the loading, place the first two logs at the back of the firebox, facing east-west, one on top
of the other. Leave approximately 3 inches of air space between the rear firebrick and the first
log. See Figures 14 and 15 for an example load for maximum burn rate inside the combustion
chamber (illustrative only). Then, place 2 logs in the middle and 2 logs in front of the combustion
chamber, one on top of the other (6 logs in total). Leave one inch between log columns.
For optimal loading of a low fire load, take small size fuel pieces (between 2- and 3-inches cross
section dimensions approximately) in the back of the firebox and use medium to large size fuel
pieces (3.5 to 4.5 inches of cross section dimensions approximately) in front of the firebox.
