• Using a stove with cracked or broken components, such as glass, firebricks or baffle may produce
an unsafe condition and may damage the stove.
• Open the air control fully before opening the loading door.
• NEVER USE GASOLINE, LANTERN FUEL (NAPHTHA), FUEL OIL, MOTOR OIL, KEROSENE,
CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS TO START A FIRE IN
THIS STOVE. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE
WHILE IT IS IN USE.

Nominal firebox volume 1.9 ft3(0.054 m3)
Maximum burn time16 hours
Maximum heat output (dry cordwood)2 65,000 BTU/h (19 kW)
Overall heat output rate (min. to max.)2 3 15,650 BTU/h to 23,300 BTU/h
(4.6 kW to 6.83 kW)
Average overall efficiency3
Dry cordwood 70 % (HHV)4 75 % (LHV)5
Optimum efficiency6 78 %
Average particulate emissions rate7 1.26 g/h (EPA / CSA B415.1-10)8
Average CO9 58 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 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%.
3As measured per CSA B415.1-10 stack loss method.
4Higher Heating Value of the fuel.
5Lower Heating Value of the fuel.
6Optimum overall efciency at a specic burn rate (LHV).
7This appliance is ofcially tested and certied by an independent agency.
8Tested and certied in compliance with CFR 40 part 60, subpart AAA, section 60.534(a)(1(ii) and draft ASTM WK47329-14 based on the ATM send
