The Drolet Escape 1800 is a large non-catalytic wood stove on cast iron legs, built for spaces up to 2,100 sq ft. It puts out up to 75,000 BTU/h from a 2.4 cu ft firebox that takes 20-inch logs, and it is EPA certified at 1.54 g/h of fine particles. Side panels cut clearances to combustibles and a top heat exchanger pushes heat toward the front of the room. It suits homeowners heating a whole house or a large open space who want long burn times and simple operation without a catalytic converter to maintain. Against catalytic stoves it gives up some efficiency and burn cleanliness, but it is simpler and cheaper to run and service.
