HearthStone’s Thermo
-
Ceramic Baffle System
To enhance the combustion efficiency and reduce the emissions of the fire in your stove HearthStone
QHHP, Inc. has developed an advanced THERMO-
CERAMIC baffle system. This system uses a
lightweight, durable ceramic material above the burner tubes to maint
ain the high temperatures in the
secondary combustion area and maintain the low emission –
high efficiency combustion you desire. This
new technology will not corrode, rust dissolve or lose its strength, however it is vulnerable to puncture or
cracking due to rough handling.
PLEASE EXERCISE CARE WHEN LOADING WOOD OR CLEANING YOUR
STOVE, NOT TO DAMAGE THE Thermo-Ceramic BAFFLE
Located directly above the burner tubes in the firebox, this white sheet of material will break if wood or
cleaning brushes impact
it. Be careful when loading and cleaning your stove to not break this material. If
this piece has been fractured or a hole is punctured, it will cause the stove to function improperly. You must
replace the board through a qualified HearthStone dealer.

Introducing Your
Homestead Wood Stove
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 has been 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.
Make sure to install your stove:
οAccording to the recommendations and instructions
presented in this manual.
οAccording to all applicable codes.
οWith the proper-sized chimney.
When using your stove:
οWarn 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.
οFollow recommended break-in procedure as outlined
in this manual.
οBurn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and
lower emissions result when burning air-dried,
seasoned wood, as compared to green or freshly cut
wood.
οKeep the front door closed at all times except when
loading wood.
οUse caution when loading firewood into a hot stove.
οKeep the ash pan tray fully inserted and the ash grate
closed.
οInspect the stovepipe, chimney connector, and
chimney frequently, as recommended.
οMake 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:
οNever modify this stove in any way, especially the
primary air control system.
οNever 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.
οNever 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, whichcan deplete the
supply of oxygen or create an explosion. Keep all such
materials away from the stove.
οNever use the stove if the ash pan is loose, not in
place or if the ash grate is open.
οNever use a wood grate or other device to elevate the
fire.
οDo Not allow logs to rest against or otherwise come
in contact with the glass when the door is closed.
οDo Not slam the door; or use it to force wood in to
the stove.
οNever over-fire your stove. (See page 34.)
οNever put articles of clothing or candles on a hot
stove.
οDo Not connect the stove to a flue that is serving
another appliance. (See page 26.)
Other Safety Guidelines
οKeep all combustible items, such as furniture, drapes,
clothing, and other items, at least 36″(0.92 meters)
from the stove.
οInstall a smoke detector.
οKeep a fire extinguisher handy. We recommend the
type rated “A B C”.
οDispose of ashes properly. (See page 35)
οKeep children and pets away from the stove; they
could be burned by touching a hot stove.
οClean your system as needed. (See page 36.)

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 SUCHFIRES 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.

Unpacking
HearthStone Stoves packages your Homestead stove with
the greatest care, so that it ships safely. Under certain
circumstances, however, damage can occur during transit
and handling. When you receive your stove, unpack it
carefully, inspecting your stove and all parts for damage.
Also, make sure that all parts are included in the box.
Your Homestead Model #8570H package includes:
•Hearth Mount Wood Stove
•Ash Lip
•Hearth Mount Compact Oval-to-Round Adapter (For
a freestanding installation, you will need the
Freestanding Conversion Kit —please see “Optional
Accessories” on page 42 for more information.)
•Owner’s Manual
Your Homestead Model #8570F package includes:
•Freestanding Wood Stove
•Ash Lip
•Freestanding Oval-to-Round Adapter (For a Hearth
Mount installation, you will need the Hearth Mount
Conversion Kit —please see “Optional Accessories”
on page 42 for more information.)
•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 ForHearth 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 forFreestanding 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 20) 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 42 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

HearthStone Quality Home Heating Products Inc®HomesteadModels #8570F and #8570H
9
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.

1-617-770-3000
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
42 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 42 for more information.)
Hearth Requirements and Floor
Protection
Install your Hearth Mount stove with 4-inch legs on one
of the following:
οA 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.)
οA floor protector with an R-value of 6.6 or more that
you obtain from your dealer. (A floor protector is any

Quality Home Heating Products Inc®HomesteadModels #8570F and #8570H
10
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:
οA hearth pad listed to UL 1618 standards. These are
noncombustible floor protectors; no other type of floor
protector is acceptable.
οA composite (homemade) floor protector with an
R-value of 2.5 or more.
The hearth pad or floor protector must measure at least
34″wx 41″dsquare (863mm x 1041 mm). Place your
stove so that the floor protector extends 16 inches (450
mm) to the front and 8 inches (200 mm) beyond each side
of the fuel loading and ash removal openings (as
illustrated, looking down onto the top of the stove).
34"
16" from
glass
8" to
door
openings
41"
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
1/2″1.10
Nominal solid clay brick11″0.20
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 accu-
mulate R-values; you must separate each layer of hori-
zontal 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
1/8″horizontal still air 0.92
4″solid clay brick 0.80
Total R-value 2.82
½″mineral wool insulation 1.56
