Introduction
Congratulations! You have just invested in a most
unique wood stove—the Homestead wood burning
stove from Hearthstone Quality Home Heating
Products Inc®. Both the Homestead Model 8570F
and 8570H, with their 2.0 cubic foot firebox capacity,
are the cleanest burning EPA certified, non-catalytic
wood burning stoves in their class at 1.9 grams per
hour particulate emissions. The generous width
allows for loading wood up to 19 inches long! You
can be proud to join the Hearthstone family.
Your purchase ensures years of clean, comfortable
heat with minimal maintenance. You will receive the
benefits of the most advanced technology in wood
burning without the cost and maintenance
requirements of a catalytic stove. The Homestead
blends modern technology with the unique beauty
and heating qualities of soapstone (traditionally
renowned for its even heat production and long heat
retaining ability). We trust that you will appreciate the
quality of our handcrafted product.
Please read this manual in its entirety before
installing your stove. It explains how to safely install
your stove, break it in, operate it, and maintain it.
This information will be useful to you now and in
years to come, so keep the manual handy and refer
to it as needed.
Use these instructions as well as national, state, and
local building codes to install your stove. Be sure to
maintain the designated stovepipe and stove
clearances to walls, ceilings, hearth, and other
combustible surfaces. This will help reduce the risk
of fire. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in property damage, bodily injury, and even death.
Locate your stove in a safe, convenient, open area;
away from traffic flow, and doors and hallways; and
near a chimney and chimney connector. Review the
proper clearance measurements from combustible
surfaces. You can safely reduce required clearances
in most cases with special connector pipe and
special wall coverings or as specified by this manual,
the NFPA 211 codes, and your local authorities
having jurisdiction.
Keep furniture, drapes, curtains, wood, paper, and
other combustibles far away from the stove. Never
install the stove in locations where gasoline,
kerosene, charcoal lighter, or any other flammable
liquids are used or stored.
The soapstone walls of a Hearthstone soapstone
stove produce an even, radiant heat. Locate the
stove centrally in your living area to allow the heat to
travel naturally to distant rooms. We suggest that
you do not locate your stove in an uninsulated
basement. The amount of radiant energy required to
heat concrete basement walls is so great that most
of the useable heat is absorbed by them and lost.
SAFETY NOTICE: A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT IF
THIS STOVE IS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY. FOR
YOUR SAFETY, CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE
INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL
BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT
RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION
IN YOUR AREA.
The performance of your stove depends on many
variables. Since all installations are unique, the
general information and operating procedures
presented here can only serve as useful guidelines
rather than hard and fast rules. Should you
experience any problems or have any questions, do
not hesitate to contact your dealer for additional
information.
Validate your warranty — return your warranty
registration card to Hearthstone within 30 days of
purchase. Once your warranty is validated, contact
your dealer for any necessary warranty service.
This stove is manufactured and warranted by:

Codes
When you install your Homestead, it is imperative
that you adhere to all local codes, which can be
obtained from either of the following two national
sources:
American National Standards Institute, Inc.
(ANSI)
1430 Broadway
New York, NY 10018
National Fire Protection Association, Inc.
(NFPA)
Battery March Park
Quincy, MA 02269
If you are installing your Homestead in a mobile
home, follow the guidelines described in the
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (United States).
Safety Information
Read and understand this Owner’s Manual
thoroughly before installing and using this stove.
Ensure you install your stove:
According to the recommendations and
instructions presented in this manual.
According to all applicable codes.
With the proper-sized chimney.
When using your stove:
Warn children and others unfamiliar with wood
stoves about the danger of touching the hot,
radiating surfaces of your stove. For your
additional safety, obtain hearth and stove guards
from your local dealer.
Follow recommended break-in procedure as
outlined in this manual.
Burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and
lower emissions result when burning air-dried,
seasoned wood, as compared to green or
freshly cut wood.
Keep the front door closed at all times except
when loading wood.
Use caution when loading firewood into a hot
stove.
Keep the ash pan tray fully inserted and the ash
grate closed.
Inspect the stovepipe, chimney connector, and
chimney frequently, as recommended.
Make sure the removable ash lip is in place —
as it was certified for operation — while using
the stove. If the ash lip is not installed properly,
the hearth may exceed safe temperatures.
Follow these safety precautions:
Never modify this stove in any way, especially
the primary air control system.
Never burn kiln dried wood, painted or treated
wood, solvents, trash, plywood, colored or
glossy paper, artificial logs, cardboard, coal,
garbage, or driftwood. Especially, do not burn
coal in this stove.
Never use gasoline type fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or other liquid fuels or solid
fire starters to start or invigorate a fire. These
fuels can possibly generate carbon monoxide,
which can deplete the supply of oxygen or
create an explosion. Keep all such materials
away from the stove.
Never use the stove if the ash pan is loose, not
in place or if the ash grate is open.
Never use a wood grate or other device to
elevate the fire.
Do Not allow logs to rest against or otherwise
come in contact with the glass when the door is
closed.
Do Not slam the door; or use it to force wood in
to the stove.
Never over-fire your stove. (See page 37.)
Never put articles of clothing or candles on a hot
stove.
Do Not connect the stove to a flue that is
serving another appliance. (See page 27.)
Other Safety Guidelines
As a general rule - keep all combustible items,
such as furniture, drapes, clothing, and other
items, at least 36” (0.92 meters) from the stove.
Install a smoke detector.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy. We recommend
the type rated “A B C”.
Dispose of ashes properly. (See page 38)
Keep children and pets away from the stove;
they could be burned by touching a hot stove.
Clean your system as needed. (See page 39.)

Periodic Checklist
Perform each of the following tasks at the specified
intervals.
At the End of Every Week (or as required):
Empty the ashes from the firebox and the ash
pan, sooner if the firebox or the ash pan begins
to fill up.
At the Beginning of Every Month:
Visually inspect the chimney connector and
chimney for creosote; clean them accordingly.
At the Beginning of Every Other Month:
Check door seals using the “dollar bill test” —
when the fire is out and the stove cool, shut the
door on a dollar bill. Try to slide the dollar out. If
the bill pulls out without any resistance, then
your stove’s door isn’t sealed properly. To
tighten the seal, change the door gasket.
At the End of Every Season (once a year):
Dismantle the chimney connector and
thoroughly clean it. Replace any pieces that
show signs of rust or deterioration.
Inspect and, if necessary, clean your chimney.
Thoroughly clean out the inside of the stove.
Inspect all door gaskets; replace the gaskets if
they are worn, frayed, cracked, or extremely
hard.
Emergency Procedures
In you have a stovepipe or chimney fire, follow these
instructions:
1. If the fire is too threatening, leave the area and
call the fire department immediately. If not,
perform the next three steps.
2. Close the primary air control.
3. Close the stovepipe damper (if present).
4. Keep the stove front door closed and ash pan
inserted all the way.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUT OUT A
STOVEPIPE OR CHIMNEY FIRE BY THROWING
WATER ONTO THE STOVE, STOVEPIPE, OR
CHIMNEY. THE EXTREMELY HIGH
TEMPERATURES ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH
FIRES CAN CAUSE INSTANTANEOUS STEAM
AND SERIOUS BODILY HARM.
Once the chimney fire has expired, leave the primary
air control closed and let the fire in the stove die out
completely. The stove should not be fired again until
the stove, stovepipe, and chimney are all thoroughly
inspected for any sign of damage. You must correct
any damage before using your stove again.

Owner’s Manual
If any parts are damaged or missing, please contact
your dealer immediately.
Installing Your Stove
First you must decide where your stove will reside.
After choosing an appropriate spot, inspect this
location to make sure that the stove will have
enough clearance to combustible materials that
would surround the stove. These combustibles can
include walls, floor, ceiling, fireplace, and chimney.
You must carefully consider the clearances to all of
these combustibles before actually connecting your
stove.
When considering these clearances, consider:
If you are installing your stove in a fireplace or in
a freestanding location.
The kind of floor the stove will rest on.
Depending on your floor, you can install your
stove as a Hearth Mount stove with 4” legs or as
a Freestanding stove with 6” legs, a bottom heat
shield, and a freestanding oval-to-round adapter.
The optional Surround Set, which reduces the
clearances to the fireplace’s mantle and side
trim.
Please use this section to plan how to locate your
stove in your particular location. Consider both the
clearances of the stovepipe and the stove itself to
the surrounding combustibles.
Read this chapter to obtain a sound understanding
of how to properly install your stove. Depending on
your installation, however, you only need read one
of the following three sections:
Read “Fireplace Install For Hearth Mount Stove
(#8570H) with 4-inch Legs” (page 11) only if you
are installing a Hearth Mount stove with 4” legs
into a fireplace, with or without a surround.
Read “Fireplace Install for Freestanding stove
(model #8570F) with 6-Inch Legs” (page 16)
only if you are installing a Freestanding stove
with 6” legs into a fireplace, with or without a
surround.
Read “Freestanding Install” (page 21) only if you
are installing either a Hearth Mount or a
Freestanding stove in a freestanding location.
You can reduce some clearances by adding the
optional Rear Heat Shield Kit manufactured by
Hearthstone and available through your local dealer.
(See page 45 for a description; a companion Blower
Fan Kit is also available for freestanding
installations.)
Close clearance connector stovepipes must be
tested to UL standards and listed. Check the listing
for your pipe for actual clearances. The diagrams in
this manual represent typical installations, but are
specific to the Simpson Dura-Vent DVL brand.
Do not reduce clearances described in this chapter
without using heat shields and/or close-clearance
connector stovepipes. In addition, do not reduce
clearances unless you protect surfaces per NFPA
211standards.
Clearances to NFPA 211 Protected Surfaces
You can reduce the clearances to combustible
surfaces by using any National Fire Protection

Agency (NFPA) approved wall protection system.
Please refer to NFPA 211 for specifications and
complete details. You can obtain this information
directly from NFPA.

Outside Air Kit
The optional Outside Air Kit (#95-53700) for both the
Hearth Mount and the Freestanding installation
allows you to draw air from outside your home—
rather than inside—to aid the draft of your stove.
Drawing air from the outside reduces drafts within
the room and air infiltration within the building. This
can also improve your stove’s performance in a
particularly airtight house.
If your home is well insulated and tight, consider
adding the Outside Air Kit—it might even be required
by code. Use this kit for both a fireplace and a
freestanding installation. (Please see “Optional
Accessories” on page 45 for more information.)
The Outside Air Kit allows for a direct stove
connection of a 3” (76 mm) diameter duct (which you
can obtain from another manufacturer); this duct
leads to the outside of the house. Connect the duct
to your stove in a number of ways (illustration is
typical for both Hearth Mount and Freestanding
models). Choose the one that is most convenient.
(Model #8570H shown)
When running the duct from your hearth to the
outside, make sure you avoid all structural members
of your house. At the point where the duct meets the
outside wall of your house, make sure that snow,
leaves, or other materials cannot obstruct the duct’s
opening. Also, screen this opening so that small
animals and insects can’t crawl or fly in.
Surround Kit
To reduce clearances around your wood stove, you
can install an optional Surround Kit (#95-59710).
The metal attachments of the surround match the
look of your wood stove and block the exposed
spaces between the stove and the fireplace.
The surround is designed to be installed on a stove
with either 4” or 6” legs. For 4” legs, the surround is
44” wide and 32” high; for 6” legs, the surround is
44” wide and 34” high.
The Surround Kit is available from your Hearthstone
dealer, and comes complete with all mounting
hardware and instructions. (Please see “Optional
Accessories” on page 45 for more information.)
Hearth Requirements and Floor
Protection
Install your Hearth Mount stove with 4-inch legs on
one of the following:
A noncombustible floor, such as a slab, cement,
or stone hearth. (A noncombustible floor will not
ignite, burn, support combustion, or release
flammable vapors when subjected to fire or the
anticipated heat from your stove.)

Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc.® Homestead Models #8570F and #8570H
10
A floor protector with an R-value of 6.6 or more
that you obtain from your dealer. (A floor
protector is any noncombustible on the floor
underneath and extending to the front, sides,
and rear of the wood stove.)
Install your Freestanding stove with 6” legs with the
floor heat shield on one of the following:
A hearth pad listed to UL 1618 standards. These
are noncombustible floor protectors; no other
type of floor protector is acceptable.
A composite (homemade) floor protector with an
R-value of 2.5 or more.
The hearth pad or floor protector must measure at
least 41”w x 41”d square (1041mm x 1041 mm).
Place your stove so that the floor protector extends
16 inches (450 mm), [18 inches in Canada] to the
front and centered beyond each side of the fuel
loading and ash removal openings (as illustrated,
looking down onto the top of the stove).
Figure 1 – Hearth Dimensions (US)
Regardless of where your stove is installed, the area
extending at least 16 inches in front of the stove
must have an insulating R-value of 2.5; you can also
use a listed floor protector for this area. This
provides floor protection in front of the loading door.
You must also place floor protection under the
chimney connector, extending 2” (50 mm) beyond
each side.
Floor protector’s come with various types of
specifications. To convert a floor protector’s
specification to an R-value, do one of the following:
If the R-value is given, use that value—no
conversion is needed.
If a K-factor is given with a required thickness
(T) in inches, use this formula: R-value = 1/K x T
If a C-factor is given, use the formula: R-value =
1/C
To determine the R-value of the proposed alternate
floor protector:
Use either the K-factor or the C-factor formula
explained above to convert specifications not
expressed as R-values.
For multiple layers of floor protectors, simply add
the R-values of each layer to determine the
overall R-value of the layers.
If the overall R-value of your setup is greater than
the R-value of the specified floor protector, then your
setup is acceptable.
Fabricating a Homemade Floor Protector
You can make your own floor protector by stacking
together noncombustible materials from the
following table. Simply add together the listed
R-values to attain the necessary requirements for
installing your stove.
Noncombustible Material Thickness R-value
Gypsum or plaster board11/2” 0.45
Wallboard, Wonderboard, or
Durock11/2” 0.20
Ceramic board (Fiberfrax or
Micor)1

Ceramic wall or floor tile11/4” 0.01
Mineral wool insulation21” 3.12
Cement mortar21” 0.20
Horizontal still air2*1/8” 0.92
Note: You cannot “stack” horizontal still air
to accumulate R-values; you must separate
each layer of horizontal still air with another
noncombustible material.
To fabricate a floor protector for a wood floor with an
R-value of at least 2.5, consider the following
examples:
½” ceramic board 1.10
