The Drolet Escape 1200 is a mid-size freestanding wood stove from a Canadian maker known for value-priced heating appliances. It is a non-catalytic stove rated around 65,000 BTU, built to heat roughly 1,200 to 2,200 square feet, with a firebox that takes logs up to about 18 inches. It suits homeowners replacing an old stove or adding a primary heat source to a cabin or open floor plan. Against premium brands it gives up some fit, finish and burn-time refinement, but owners rate it highly for solid heat output and simple operation.
