Drolet HT3000 on pedestal - High-efficiency 2020 EPA certified wood stove DB07300 - The HT3000 succeeds to the HT2000

In my first attempt at a wood stove, I chose the HT3000 due to its price and videos I had seen. About 2 gallons of water is burned by the stove, which burns 100,000 BTU The logs need to burn for at least three hours for optimum burn time. If the logs are lit and the coals are still hot after 10 hours, the next set of logs can be lit. It is recommended to put a fresh set of logs in every 5 to 6 hours for constant heat. I can get 6 to 8 hours on one set of logs. The firebox was stocked with logs 16" in diameter. Logs 20" in diameter will fit in the stove.

Despite its age, this stove is still going strong. Vermont Casting wood stove had served us well for 30 years, so we decided to get one that was more energy efficient. The solution we selected was the result of much research. As it arrived earlier than expected, and we were not ready for it (we still had the old stove and we wanted to build a stone wall) the freight delivery driver set it up in our garage (it was on a pallet). We were ready for it when we were ready Then we moved it with casters and put it where we wanted. The set has been with us for a few years and we are very pleased with The fire has great heat output, uses much less wood, and can handle a much larger size piece You will be able to keep it up all night if it's Also, we bought a blower so that the heat would be distributed. I would highly recommend this product!.

As a result, I had a yellow freight coming to the roadside. It might take a little getting used to this stove if you are used to conventional wood burning stoves. As if there were a fireplace in the room, the ambiance is awesome. I can heat just as well with less wood as I used to with my old box stove. Since my house has a draft, any cold I experience is my own fault rather than the stove's. The burn time is excellent as long as you don't want the heat to be overpowering. If you want to ignite it, you'll need to leave the door open for awhile until the fire is The baffles on top of the firebox should be regarded as a safety hazard. Make sure that you aren't forcing logs in. To protect your floor properly, you need to have good flooring. An ash dump is located there. To dump the ashes, I just lift the plug with a fire poker and rake into an ash bucket, or shovel directly into the.

The old wood stove I had was not very efficient, so I decided to replace it with this one. For about two months and some days, I have been using this daily and I am very pleased with it. Additionally, there are two heat driven fans that allow the lateral movement of heat. In addition, I should mention that my workshop has a square footage of approximately 26 ft by 50 ft with a ceiling height of 14 ft, which is sufficient to remain.

A massive "pole barn" or "gambrel" style two story cabin with a huge crawl space under the roof will heat the whole cabin to 70*F in one day when it's snowing heavily in northern Michigan. Fill the firebox with wood before you go to bed and let it get super-hot Once it is hot, turn down the internal flue to minimum and it will burn clean wood for more than 6 hours without needing to be attended -I purchased the optional blower and -I will install it throughout the summer This is an auto-temp switch which runs on regular 110-volt power When our gas generator is running in the evenings, we can take advantage of the 120v power to supercharge heat dissipation. There is no doubt that this upgrade is worth it. Ideally, three people would be needed to lift it since it is very heavy and will need the help of two grown men. Pros (Pros) - A burn that lasts an exceptionally long time- It can take almost an overnight process. Please note Heat is generated incredibly well, especially when the optional blower is used. Please note There is very little smoke coming out of the chimney because it's EPA certified. Please note My favorite thing about these handles is that they're on the left, versus the right. Please note Creating very little ash and cleaning up the firebox is a breeze. Please note The coals stay so hot when the stove goes empty that even after emptying it will reheat Add a new log to the fire, and the fire will flare up. Please note A beautiful design throughout, with a nice window on the door that is easy to clean. There are really no cons, just advice. 1) This thing will completely drain the humidity out of the air when at full blast within minutes. 3) Even though it has an on-off switch, there was no humidity within the house. The steamer/kettle on the stove top can not keep up with the heat output due to low RH levels (shoot for 40ish). For those of you who are prone to nose-bleeds like me, It may be a good idea to place a humidifier near the bleeds in a dry climate. 2) The door handle can (and will) get very hot at the stem, so grabbing the entire knob is not a good idea. Instead, hold When using this stove, wear a glove because the stove gets hot very quickly.
3) Make sure your exhaust pipe has a magnetic temperature gauge around 18" above the stove base to know when you need to lower the internal flue to prevent an overheating situation. I suggest opening all the windows and letting the house do its thing as it eventually will cure and disappear.
4) It took a few nights in the fall to fully bake the stove's paint into place and so it will smoke and smell for a few days. My wife and I could not be more satisfied with this purchase. It is simply amazing! It's EPA approved, so if you claim the tax credit at the end of the year you get $300 back in your bank account. That alone is a reason it has a near 100% positive review rating.

My experience with it has been very positive thus far. It'll be great to get some seasoned oak and see how long it lasts!.

Becomes hotter and slower as it burns. The stove has been a great purchase for us. There is little to no smoke coming from the chimney when it burns hot. An easy to obtain good draft and an easy to adjust draft. The glass in this stove is very clear, and it has a very strong window draft, which helps to keep the glass clean longer than with most stoves I've used. A great amount of heat is produced without the use of a.

I can heat with it for up to 12 hours continuously with a full load of hardwood. With the damper turned down and a full load of good wood, it heats quickly in the night and has plenty of hot embers on The steel box style stove I've used before was a huge improvement over this stove.
