The ComfortBilt GAP2020 is a gravity-fed pellet stove built by Independent Stove LLC in Grants Pass, Oregon, and sold through ComfortBilt. Pellets drop from an 88 lb hopper into the burner by gravity, and a fuel-feed lever sets how fast they burn, so the stove needs no electricity at all. It is EPA 2020 certified at 0.84 g/h, listed to UL 1482 and ULC S627, and approved for mobile homes. ComfortBilt rates it to heat over 2,000 sq ft; in the manual's burn tests it put out 8,026 to 23,002 BTU/h.
Who the GAP2020 is for
- Homes in areas with long or frequent power outages that want pellet heat which does not depend on the grid or a generator.
- Off-grid cabins, hunting camps and workshops with no reliable power.
- Anyone who wants a stove they can also cook on: the flat top is 32" wide and sits 20" off the floor.
If you have steady power and want thermostat control, auto-ignition and a room blower, look at an electric pellet stove like the ComfortBilt HP22 instead. The GAP2020 trades those conveniences for independence from electricity.
Hopper and burn time
The 88 lb hopper holds two 40 lb bags. At the manual's tested burn rates (1.9 lb/h on low, 4.8 lb/h on high), a full hopper lasts roughly 18 to 46 hours. Use dry, 1/4" wood pellets only; PFI-listed pellets are recommended.

Venting: not a pellet-vent stove
This is the most important install detail. The manual says never use pellet vent with the GAP2020. It vents like a small wood stove:
- Connect the 4" flue with minimum 24-gauge single-wall black stove pipe, at least 3 screws per joint.
- Run the connector into a listed UL 103 HT Class A chimney (the stove label allows 5" to 8" chimneys with an increaser), or into a masonry chimney; add a 4" stainless liner if draft is poor.
- The chimney must rise at least 2 ft above any part of the roof within 10 ft.
- The connector cannot pass through an attic, closet, floor or ceiling, and the chimney cannot serve another appliance.
For a 6" Class A run, our AllFuel HST 6" through-the-ceiling Class A chimney kit and AllFuel HST 6" through-the-wall Class A chimney kit are UL 103 HT listed. You will also need a 4" single-wall connector and a 4"-to-6" increaser, which we do not stock. Call us and we will help you plan the run.
Clearances and floor protection
The manual's freestanding clearances assume the 10" pedestal and rear heat shield accessory kit. ComfortBilt lists the stove at 38" tall, which matches the version without the pedestal, so call us to confirm what ships before you plan a freestanding install.
- Rear-wall install: 6" from the glass-door (left) side, 2" from the hopper (right) side, 2" behind the heat shield.
- Corner install: 6" from the stove corner to each wall.
- Ember protection: 16" in front (USA), 8" each side and 4" behind, using a non-combustible floor protector rated UL 1618 Type 1 or better. The manual sets the US hearth at 50" wide by 32" deep; our Drolet 54" x 46¾" tinted glass hearth pad covers that area.
- Never install in a bedroom or room used for sleeping.
- Mobile homes: outside air connection, stove bolted to the floor and grounded to the frame with #10 wire.
