Drolet rates it for spaces up to 2,300 sq ft and up to 10 hours of burn time on a single load, with logs up to 20\". The cooktop sits at a comfortable 37\" working height, and the cookstove ships in two casings that bolt together on site. Overall it measures 47 1\/4\" wide, 31 1\/2\" deep and 38 3\/4\" high. Made in Canada, limited lifetime warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e the Chic-Choc is a wood cookstove and is not EPA certified. Its manual states it is not a certified residential wood heater and that its primary use is cooking or baking; it is sold under the EPA's cookstove exemption. Some states, counties and municipalities restrict the installation of uncertified wood-burning appliances, so check your local rules before ordering, or call us and we'll help you check.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho the Chic-Choc is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFarmhouse and cabin kitchens where the cookstove is the centerpiece and cooks most meals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBakers and cooks who want a real oven with room for two racks, plus a long cooktop for several pots at once.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHomes that want backup heat and cooking in a power outage; it needs no electricity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the appliance must also be your certified primary heater, or you live in a manufactured home, look at the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/drolet-bistro-wood-cookstove\"\u003eDrolet Bistro wood cookstove\u003c\/a\u003e instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCooking: oven, cooktop and bypass\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stainless steel oven measures 17 3\/4\" wide, 21 3\/4\" deep and 14 1\/8\" high, with two stainless cooking grids and a removable oven bottom. A thermometer in the glass oven door reads 150°F to 750°F; Drolet notes about 50°F between the coolest spot (front right) and hottest (rear left), so turn dishes halfway through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe steel cooking surface is about 42\" long and 20 1\/2\" deep, with separate cooking and warming zones, including a warmer plate. Drolet recommends cooking in pans rather than directly on the painted surface, and working from the side to stay out of the radiant heat from the firebox glass. A bypass handle on top sends hot gases either straight to the chimney (for start-up and when you don't need the oven) or around the oven to heat it. Leave it in the chimney position for the first 20 minutes after lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFirebox and heat output\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 3.3 cu ft firebox has secondary combustion air tubes, a vermiculite baffle and firebrick lining. Logs up to 20\" load north-south (front to back); 16\" splits are easiest to handle. Drolet's heating area of up to 2,300 sq ft and burn time of up to 10 hours are manufacturer figures; because the Chic-Choc is exempt rather than certified, there is no EPA-tested heat output, efficiency or emissions rating. Dry wood at 15% to 20% moisture gives the best heat and the cleanest burn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChic-Choc vs. Bistro\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe sell two Drolet cookstoves.

In the USA, the pad extends 16\" in front of the door opening and 8\" to each side, which works out to about 54 5\/8\" wide by 43\" deep for a wall installation.
