*Why is the BTU indicated on the EPA label smaller than the one advertised?
You will notice a difference between the BTU output as indicated on the unit’s white EPA label
affixed to the glass and the BTU as advertised on our web site and/or product literature. The
maximum BTU output we advertise for this unit is what will be obtained with a full load of
seasoned cordwood inserted inside the firebox. The EPA output, on the other hand, is what has
been obtained during emissions testing. The EPA test procedure requires that a special type of
wood be used and positioned inside the firebox in a manner that does not represent the way the
firebox volume would normally be utilized using seasoned cordwood. The EPA test load is
typically much smaller. Hence, the BTU as per the EPA label is reduced. The BTU output that
should be considered by a normal user is the one we advertise for seasoned cordwood.
