True North TN10 Wood Stove vs True North TN20 Wood Stove

The TN20 is the better stove for most people. It has a 2.0 cu. ft. firebox, takes 18-inch logs and puts out up to 60,000 BTU, so it heats a real room and holds a fire overnight. The TN10 is a small occasional-use stove: 0.8 cu. ft., 14-inch logs, 4 to 6 hour burns. Both are catalytic-free, EPA 2020 certified, mobile home approved and built around a cast iron door with air wash. Owners of the TN20 report it heats well and even works for cooking. The TN10 is fine for a cabin, workshop or backup room, but most shoppers should step up.

  • Choose the True North TN10 if you need a compact stove for a small room, camp or occasional use and only have space for short logs.
  • Choose the True North TN20 if you want to heat a main living space, burn standard 16 to 18 inch logs and get overnight burns.

Questions and answers

Which is better for heating a whole living room?
The TN20. Its 2.0 cu. ft. firebox and up to 60,000 BTU cord wood output handle a main room; the TN10 tops out at 30,000 BTU and suits small or occasional-use spaces.
Can the TN10 burn standard 16-inch firewood?
No. The TN10 takes logs up to 14 inches. The TN20 takes up to 18 inches, so standard cut firewood fits.
Which lasts longer through the night?
The TN20. Its larger firebox holds more wood, while the TN10 is rated for 4 to 6 hour burns, so it needs reloading sooner.
Is the TN20 worth stepping up to over the TN10?
For daily heating, yes. You get a much larger firebox, longer logs and higher output for a similar efficiency and the same catalytic-free design.
Do both work in a mobile home?
Yes. Both are mobile home approved and EPA 2020 certified, and both accept inside or outside combustion air.
Which burns cleaner?
The TN10 is slightly cleaner at 1.4 g/hr versus 1.6 g/hr for the TN20. Both are well under the EPA 2020 limit.
