Description

Combining performance and respect for the environment, the Escape 1500 is the perfect choice for heating homes up to 1,800 ft². With only 2.4 g/h of particulate emissions, this non-catalytic wood stove gives off up to 65,000 BTU/h while largely meeting EPA standards. The unit is equipped with side panels which helps reduce clearances to combustible materials and a top heat exchanger which redirects heat to the front of the unit.

Included: pedestal with ash drawer, air mate, ceramic glass, side panels, ash lip, air damper

*The information given on the certification label affixed to the appliance always overrides the information published in any other media (owner's manual, catalogues, flyers, magazines and/or web sites).

**Some appliances have been tested with a low ceiling. Before setting up your unit, refer to the installation manual.

1. Performances based on a fuel load prescribed by the standard at 7 lb/ft³ and with a moisture content between 19% and 25%.
2. Optimum overall efficiency at a specific burn rate (LHV).
3. This appliance is officially tested and certified by an independent agency.
4. The maximum heat output (dry cordwood) is based on a loading density varying between 15 lb/ft³ and 20 lb/ft³. Other performances are based on a fuel load prescribed by the standard. The specified loading density varies between 7 lb/ft³ and 12 lb/ft³. The moisture content is between 19% and 25%.
5. As measured per CSA B415.1-10 stack loss method.
6. Higher Heating Value of the fuel.
7. Lower Heating Value of the fuel.
8. The optimum heat transfer efficiency is for the low burn rate (using HHV) and represents the appliance’s ability to convert the energy contained in the solid fuels into energy transferred to the room in the form of heat and does not take into account the chemical losses during combustion.
9. Recommended heating area and maximum burn time may vary subject to location in home, chimney draft,heat loss factors, climate, fuel type and other variables. The recommended heated area for a given appliance is defined by the manufacturer as its capacity to maintain a minimum acceptable temperature in the designated area in case of a power failure.
10. Carbon monoxyde.

Impressive stove. Learning curve was easy with this stove. As with any stove, seasoned wood gives the best results, although we had good success with wood that was only seasoned a few months. One thing that was very important to us and I’ve never seen anyone comment about, is the heat shields that allow stove to be placed relatively close to combustible walls. I’ve done research and Drolet has the market on close clearances feature. Stove is easy to start. No smoke when door is opened. No peeling paint. Drafts great. Any negative reviews about slow starting, poor draft, ext.,most likely are due to installation issues or unseasoned wood.

Been a Drolet stove user since 2005. Last one was Adirondack. Love the Escape 1500. Your products are superbly built. Thank you
