    Hi,

    I wanted to show / introduce my new wood stove. From my internet research there is not a lot of use or data on these. I imagine it is because they are quite small and maybe are in a niche market. The reason we had to get it is that the connection into the brick is very low and we did not want to cut into the existing brick to make a new hole. All stoves I researched would not fit because they are too large. We built the bottom with pavers to the specified clearances.

    The following are the published specifications:
    Overall efficiency 85%
    EPA emissions 4.05 Grams/hr
    Max output seasoned cord wood 21,000 BTU/hr
    Fire box .7 cubic feet

    The following pictures show installation and reference water bottle. I have included one picture to show the secondary burn occurring from the top perforated tube (this is really cool). The testing I am doing initially is with the tractor supply red stone pressed sawdust 6.6 pound fire brick. This fits perfectly inside and runs for 6-8 hours.

    This is my second use of the stove and so far am pretty satisfied. It produces no smoke when operating.

    Liking the stove and pavers! I bought the tractor supply bricks for another project but didn’t realize they were sawdust! Edit! Excuse me I just realized that you were talking about fuel not the actual firebricks that line a stove. My bad! Glad its going well!

    Good to see a review on these. I noticed them on Ebay a year or two ago. I see they have come up considerably in price. Please keep up your review/thoughts.
    Nice tidy install. BTW.

    Very nice install, pretty little stove!

    Those pics could be used for the company brochure!

    Yes, as I use it more I will post more of a user review as my experience using it is increased.

    MJK Farm which model is it? I’ve been tossing around ideas of a second small stove here and this one looks interesting, especially getting some first hand info :yes:

    Looks good! I feel your pain, I have a similar setup to yours where I had to come out of the stove with an elbow and go straight into the wall. Looks like yours might be lower than mine though.

    Thankfully the draft is really good and you can run it with the door open and there is no smoke escaping.
