Efficiency
The average of the efficiency of the stove is 72%. When the
seasoned wood have lower moisture the efficiency will be better.
When the outside temperature is really cold, it is important to
create a good draft in chimney. When the appliance is in the
basement, the chimney is higher than if the appliance would be
in the main living area. The draft will be better because we have
more length of chimney.
