FAQs
What room size will this heat?
Plan ~20–25 BTU per sq ft. This model is rated up to 1,000 sq ft. Always size to insulation levels and regional climate for best results.
Is it EPA-certified?
Qualified under the U.S. EPA Low Mass Wood-burning Fireplace voluntary program (Phase 2). See the manual (PDF) for details.
