The US Stove 5040Ei is a pellet stove insert with a surround. It delivers up to 40,000 BTUs and heats spaces up to 1,800 square feet. It is built to drop into an existing masonry or zero-clearance fireplace and turn an open hearth into a pellet heater.
The firebox is welded heavy-gauge steel. A black surround panel is included to frame the unit against the fireplace opening. A convection blower circulates warm air into the room. An automatic igniter starts the fire.
A digital control board adjusts heat range, fan speed and feed rate. An IR remote works with the sensor on the stove. The stove also supports a wired wall thermostat in High/Low mode. It has no Wi-Fi. The stove burns only PFI-certified premium hardwood pellets. Corn, coffee pellets and other alternative biomass fuels can damage it and void the warranty. It can vent through an existing chimney or through the ceiling.
