INTRODUCTION
Travis Industries, Inc. retained OMNI to perform U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
certification testing on the Endeavor Freestanding woodstove. The Endeavor Freestanding wood
stove is a Non-Catalytic-type room heater. The firebox is constructed of mild steel. Usable
firebox volume was measured to be 2.43 cubic feet and the stove is vented through 6” flue collar
located on the stove top.
Testing was performed at Travis Industries. The altitude of the laboratory is 500 feet above sea
level. The unit was received in good condition and logged in on 1/7/2019, then assigned and
labeled with OMNI ID #2337. OMNI representative Bruce Davis conducted the certification
testing and completed all testing by January 10, 2019.
This report is organized in accordance with the EPA-recommended outline and is summarized in
the Table of Contents immediately preceding this section. The results in this report are limited to
the item submitted.
SAMPLING PROCEDURE
The Endeavor wood stove was tested in accordance with the U.S. EPA 40 CFR Part 60,
Subpart AAA – Standards of Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters using EPA
Method 28R, ASTM E2515 and EPA Alt-125, ASTM E3053. Particulate emissions were
measured using sampling trains consisting of two Teflon coated 47mm filters (front and back).
See Appendix A for details on EPA Alt-125.
The model Endeavor was tested for thermal efficiency and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions in
accordance with CSA B415.1-10 using Douglas Fir cordwood.
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
The weighted average emissions of the three test runs included in the results indicate a
particulate emission rate of 1.4 grams per hour. Tests one and two were omitted from the
weighted average due to an error made during fuel load preparation. An incorrect value was
entered into a spread sheet that calculated fuel load weight range, and coal bed weight range.
This caused the high burn to be conducted with a startup fuel load out of range by 0.06 pounds.
The error also caused the high burn to be concluded 0.1 pounds too soon. It was determined that
these errors may have affected run two which was conducted on the coal bed created by run one.
Particulate emissions used in the weighted average were sampled on only one of the high burn
fuel loads, test 5 was conducted to generate a coal bed for test number 6. The Endeavor results
are within the emission limit of 2.5 g/h for affected facilities tested with cordwood, manufactured
on or after May 15, 2020.
The proportionality results for all 3 test runs were acceptable. Quality check results for each test
run are presented in Section 2 of this report.

INDIVIDUAL RUN SUMMARIES
Run 1 - Test procedures followed to produce a high burn rate with a primary air setting of
fully open. Observed burn rate was calculated at 5.06 kg/hr. Emissions results
were calculated using particulate sampling from kindling, start-up fuel, and test
fuel load combined (cold to hot). Burn rate, and efficiency were calculated using
data from the test fuel load only (hot to hot). An error occurred in calculating
startup fuel weight, this caused the startup fuel weight to be out of tolerance and
the test to be terminated 0.1 pounds too early.
Due to this anomaly, run 1 was determined to be invalid for inclusion in the
weighted average.
Run 2 - Test procedures were followed to produce a medium high burn rate with a
primary air setting of 0.297” (19/64”) open. Observed burn rate was calculated at
1.69 kg/hr. Emissions and efficiency results were calculated using a hot to hot
burn cycle, a coal bed generated by the high burn conducted in test one was used.
Due to errors that occurred during run 1, validity of run 2 was in question. It was
determined that there was enough cause to invalidate the test, results were omitted
from the weighted average.
Run 3 - Test procedures followed to produce a high burn rate with a primary air setting of
fully open. Observed burn rate was calculated at 4.86 kg/hr. Emissions results
were calculated using particulate sampling from kindling, start-up fuel, and test
fuel load combined (cold to hot). Burn rate, and efficiency were calculated using
data from the test fuel load only (hot to hot). No sampling anomalies occurred,
this test run was determined to be valid for inclusion in the weighted average.
Run 4 - Test procedures were followed to produce a low burn rate with a primary air
setting of full closed. Observed burn rate was calculated at 1.11 kg/hr. Emissions
and efficiency results were calculated using a hot to hot burn cycle, a coal bed
generated by the high burn procedure was used. No sampling anomalies
occurred, this test run was determined to be valid for inclusion in the weighted
average.
Run 5 - Test procedures followed to produce a high burn rate with a primary air setting of
fully open. Observed burn rate was calculated at 5.13 kg/hr. Burn rate, was
calculated using data from the test fuel load only (hot to hot). No sampling
occurred during this test, it was conducted to generate a coal bed for test number
6.
Run 6 - Test procedures were followed to produce a medium high burn rate with a
primary air setting of 0.50” (1/2”) open. Observed burn rate was calculated at 1.83
kg/hr. Emissions and efficiency results were calculated using a hot to hot burn
cycle, a coal bed generated by the high burn conducted in test one was used. No
sampling anomalies occurred, this test run was determined to be valid for
inclusion in the weighted average.

WOOD HEATER DESCRIPTION
Appliance Manufacturer: Travis Industries, Inc.
Wood Stove Model: Endeavor
Type: Freestanding Non-Catalytic Wood Fired Room Heater
WOOD HEATER INFORMATION
Materials of Construction: The unit is constructed primarily of mild steel. The firebox
is lined with fire brick that measures 4.5” x 9.0”. The feed door has a 16.128 x 12.062
glass panel and 1/2” fiberglass rope gasket.
Air Introduction System: Air is introduced into three different areas of the fire chamber
and is controlled by one sliding control rod. Secondary air is introduced into the rear of
the fire box through the bottom, it is then channeled up into the secondary air tubes
located under the baffle. Air wash air is introduced through an opening in the bottom of
the fire box. It is then channeled up to a manifold across the top of the door, air is
directed down across the glass and into the fire chamber. A lower primary air orifice is
mounted on the firebox floor near the loading door. Air is routed through the bottom of
the firebox and into the lower orifice manifold, it is then directed horizontally into the
coal bed near the front of the combustion chamber.
Combustion Control Mechanisms: Combustion air control mechanism is a sliding rod
with flat plates attached that cover and uncover air inlets when the rod is pushed in or
pulled out.
Combustor: N/A
Internal Baffles: A ceramic fiber board baffle is mounted near the top of the fire
chamber, a 1” thick 6# density ceramic blanket is placed on top. A sliding flue bypass is
incorporated into the baffle, when opened it allow products of combustion to bypass the
catalyst and flow directly to the flue outlet. When closed products of combustion are
directed through the catalyst mounted near the front of the baffle system.
Other Features: A 400 CFM room air fans are offered as optional equipment; tested
model had a variable speed control mounted in the power supply cord.
Flue Outlet: The 6” diameter flue outlet is located at the rear of the top of the appliance.
