Overview
🎁 INCLUDED FREE: Magnetic Stove Thermometer and 50 Fire Starters — everything you need for your first fire.
The Drolet Blackcomb II wood stove (model DB02811) is Drolet's mid-size stove on a closed pedestal. It heats 500 to 1,800 sq ft with a maximum heat output of 65,000 BTU/h, takes logs up to 18" and is rated for burn times up to 7 hours. It is EPA 2020 certified at 2.4 g/h emissions, with an average overall efficiency of 68% (HHV) and an optimum overall efficiency of 76%. Heavy-duty 5/16" steel top over a 3/16" steel body, cast iron door frame, refractory brick lining and a vermiculite baffle. Decorative side panels and a rear heat shield cut clearances to combustibles. Pedestal with ash pan, 6" top flue outlet, optional blower up to 100 CFM. Certified for mobile home and alcove installation. Made in Canada.
Who the Blackcomb II is for
The Blackcomb II heats a main living area rather than a whole large house. It suits:
- Homes, cabins and additions of about 500 to 1,800 sq ft.
- Owners who prefer a pedestal: no legs to clean around, and the ash pan sits inside the base.
- Smaller rooms and corners: it is 24 7/8" wide and deep, and with double-wall pipe it can sit 7 1/2" from the rear wall.
- Off-grid and backup heat. It runs on natural draft with no electricity.
Drolet's heating area is the space the stove can keep at a minimum comfortable temperature in a power outage. Insulation, layout and climate all move it.
Firebox and loading
The firebox has an overall volume of 1.86 cu ft (1.44 cu ft EPA loading volume) and measures 19 5/8" wide, 11 7/8" high and 13 1/2" deep. Logs load east-west, side to side, up to 18" long; Drolet recommends 16" splits, the length used in EPA testing. The door opening is 17 1/4" x 8", behind a single cast iron door with 15 3/4" x 9 3/4" ceramic glass and an air wash that helps keep the glass clear. Overall the stove measures 24 7/8" wide, 24 7/8" deep and 30 5/8" high, and it ships at about 325 lb.
Burn time and heat output
Drolet rates the Blackcomb II at up to 65,000 BTU/h with a dense load of dry cordwood, and at 9,800 to 52,200 BTU/h overall heat output from low to high burn under EPA test conditions. The low end lets you keep a small fire in spring and fall without overheating the room. The maximum burn time is up to 7 hours; treat it as a best case, since wood species, moisture, load size, chimney draft and air setting all shorten or stretch it.
Blackcomb II vs. Columbia II vs. Escape 1800
The Drolet Columbia II is the Blackcomb II on cast iron legs, with an ash drawer instead of a pan. Both manuals list the same performance figures, firebox and clearances to combustibles. If you need more heat, the Drolet Escape 1800 pedestal is the next size up.

Blower option
No blower is included, and none is required; the Blackcomb II heats by radiation and natural convection. To push warm air toward adjoining rooms, add the Drolet 100 CFM variable-speed blower (AC02050), the blower listed in the Blackcomb II parts list. Pair it with the Quick Connect Thermodisc (AC02055) so it switches on when the stove is hot and off when it cools.
Venting and installation
The Blackcomb II has a 6" top flue outlet and uses 6" connector pipe. It must connect to a UL 103 HT (2,100°F) factory-built chimney or a code-approved masonry chimney with a flue liner, with at least 12 ft of total flue height. See our wood stove chimney and stovepipe guide, our 6" stove pipe kits, or a 6" chimney liner kit for an existing masonry chimney.
In the USA, double-wall connector pipe lets the stove sit 7 1/2" from the rear wall instead of 13" with single-wall pipe; side (10") and corner (12") clearances stay the same. With double-wall pipe and the certified modular wall heat shield (AC02762), the manual allows 2 1/2" to the walls. For a mobile home, Drolet requires double-wall pipe and the 5" fresh air intake kit for pedestal stoves (AC01336) with insulated intake duct, and the base is screwed to the floor.
Floor protection
Unless the stove sits on a non-combustible floor such as concrete, it needs a continuous non-combustible ember pad; no R-value is required. In the USA, the pad extends 16" in front of the door opening and 8" to each side. The 46 3/4" x 54" black steel hearth pad covers the Blackcomb II's footprint plus those extensions; see all hearth pads.
