The Drolet Eco-65R is a freestanding pellet stove rated to heat up to 2,600 sq ft. It holds up to 125 lb of pellets for long burns between refills, puts out up to 28,526 BTU/h through a 500 CFM blower, and runs at 77% efficiency with low emissions of 0.77 g/h. Push-button ignition and electronic controls make it easier to live with than manual-light stoves. It suits larger open spaces and owners who want steady, hands-off heat; against smaller pellet stoves it trades a bigger hopper and higher output for more floor space and more pellets burned.

The Drolet Eco-65R is a bottom-feed pellet stove that heats areas up to 2,600 ft². It produces up to 28,526 BTU/h and has a 500 CFM convection blower. Efficiency is 77%, and emissions are 0.77 g/h. The stove is EPA certified.
The hopper holds up to 125 lb of wood pellets, for a burn time of up to 105 hours. The stove starts at the press of a button. Electronic controls set the heat in manual or thermostatic mode, and the stove can connect to a thermostat to manage heat demand automatically.
The bottom-feed design needs less upkeep than a top-feed unit. Removable parts can be reached without tools, and the ash drawer is very large. The Glass Airwash system helps keep the glass clear. The door is ceramic glass in a cast iron frame, and the stove has gold finish trim. An optional heat transfer kit moves heat to other rooms through up to two outlets.
