It is also affected by the quality and moisture level of the fuel. ** EPA tests to determine BTU output are achieved with a single load of wood at each burn rate. At home, you are likely to add more wood to your stove to maintain your desired comfort level. By the simple process of loading your stove with additional wood, you could achieve up to a 20% higher heat output than established during EPA testing. This model was tested for efficiency using method B415.1-10 and was determined to have a weighted average Higher Heating Value (HHV) Overall Heating Efficiency(OHE) of 74.16%. Overall efficiency of the heater may be lower if the heater is operated without a heat exchange blower or with the installed heat exchange blower turned off.
