| I have an old Energy Harvester wood stove. Can anyone tell me what the
approx btu rating of this stove is?
The manufacturer, The Energy Harvesters Corporation, has been out of
business for 20+ years but was located in Fitzwilliam, NH.
I have the owners manual but it does include any specifications.

Problem is I am sure they made more than one model.
Another is I have always seen stoves rated at how many square feet they can
comfortable keep warm.

| Yet another is emissions. Mostlikely making it illegal to sell it.
Also indicating, generally, lower overall efficiency than for stoves
mfg after '90.
Anyhow, BTU ratings for woodstoves are often totally bs, primarily
because it's possible with most to get short-term output that can't be
sustained. As important as any fictitious #s: how much wood can be
loaded into it for a clean, slow burn, and how long can that be.
Stay warm,

I heard from stove installers new installation is not permissable, but then
again since when is installing an old stove on a new house "commerce among
the several states"?
