Quadrafire
wood stoves can
be easily be called one of the most efficient wood burning
stoves on the market. Back in the 80's there were
plenty of wood stove manufacturers. After the government
stepped in and asked for cleaner burning stoves, many
of those manufacturers dropped off the face of the earth.
But Quadrafire stayed the course and became a
leader in clean burning wood stoves. Another leader
is Blaze
King Wood Stoves. They are close to the same
ratings as Quadrafire but in our opinion they don't
look at good as Quadrafire stoves.
Quadrafires
extensive research in wood burning stoves has lead them
to produce the following models: Cumberland
Gap,

2100 Millennium, 3100 Millennium, 3100 Step Top,
4300 Millennium, 4300 Step Top, 5700 Step Top, and
Yosemite wod stove.
Top
Rated Quadrafire Wood Stoves and Emissions Ratings
What
really sets the Quadrafire wood stoves apart from everyone
else is their emission ratings that are much lower than
their competitors. The only thing I have not been
able to find out is "how long they can sustain
a fire" (burn time). From personal experience our
Quadrafire wood stove has a burn rate of about 6 hours.
However, if we really load it, we can get it to
about 7.5 hours. Keep in mind our stove is 10
years old now.
There
will be no mistaking the Quadrafire wood burning stoves
from the old Fisher
Wood Stove. If you wanted a stove that is
rated at about 1/3 of the Isle Royale. Same could
be said of the Antique Franklin Wood Stoves. But
there is something about those Franklin
wood stoves that can't be bought.
Here
is a closer look at the entire Quadrafire Wood Stoves
line that exceeds EPA standards and allows you to get
a tax credit of 30% on your wood stove purchase. All
of these stoves are non catalytic as well as a limited
lifetime warranty.
The
List of Quadrafire Wood Stoves and Spec's

The
Quadrafire 2100, 3100 and 4100 are basically
the same stove with the exception of size.
The 2100 millennium can heat an area of
900-1500 sq ft. The 3100 millennium
can heat an area of 1900 sq ft and the 4100
millennium can heat an area of around 2400
sq ft.
The
Millennium 4100 pictured is mobil
home approved Mobile can
throw out 57,000 BTU's and the firebox is
2.4 cubic feet. It is EPA certified
at 1.1 gm/hr. If you compare this
to the other wood stoves in our review,
you will see it kills the competition. With
the 4100 you can throw logs into the fire
at a length of 20 inches and know it burns
at almost 80% efficiency.

different cooking levels Quadrafire also learned it
provided a efficient heat exchange chamber that improved
the heat transfer.
The
BTU rating is 1,000 BTU's higher than a flat top 3100
Millennium which means you can warm an area a little
bit bigger than the 3100 Millennium. Other than
that, everything is the same.
4100 Millennium
Step Top
The
step top version of the 4100 has the same spec's as
the flat top 4100 Millennium. Refer to the picture
above to read the specs of the 4100 Millennium.

is the second largest free standing stove
in their line. This beauty will heat
up to 3700 sq ft and the fire box size is

Efficiency
in all quadrafire wood stoves has not been
minimized with this step top stove as it
burns at 77% and releases only 2.2 gm/hr.
Maximum
log length is 24 inches and once again I
will not try to quess what the burn time
of this stove is, but you can imagine it
will burn for at least 10 hours.
