The Facts on Btu's
There are only two rating methods that mean something to
you, the consumer:
1. The first is the Btu output that
is achieved during EPA testing. This testing is quite
complicated and costly milled woods are burned. This is
a standard for all manufacturer testing and is not
intended to provide consumers with a model for how a
stove will burn in their home.
2. The second method is what
Blaze King refers to as the "Real World" method.
These
Btu's are achieved during in house testing using the
same thing a consumer burns, split, dry cordwood. In our
tests, we use fir. The "Real World" Btu's listed are
what the average consumer can expect to achieve, with
slight variations depending upon geographical location,
type of wood, elevation and amount of fuel added. Higher
Btu's are possible. If you were to stand in front of
your stove and frequently add fuel, burn the unit on
high and have optimal conditions, the PE1006 could
produce as high as 87,850 Btu's and the KE1107 could
exceed 90,000 Btu's!
However, maximum Btu's would only
be achievable at a certain "peak" during the burn.
Blaze King does not wish to mislead
you, so we give you all the facts.
