New PE line

Rumor has it that PE is going to introduce a new line of stoves under a new Vancouver line. The stoves in this line promise to be state of the art hybrids offering cat/secondary optional burning. There will be no smaller stove but the largest will top 4 cu ft. Styling is said to have been contracted by Pinafarina of Italy. Heating efficiency is supposed to be stunning, at greater than 85% They are also supposed to have a revolutionary new self-cleaning feature, thermostatic control and a ductable heat exchanger on the largest model. The stove is expected to be shown at 2012 HPBA.

BG, I just found that article. They say efficiency is at 99% in labaratory setting with kiln dried wood. Expectations are that real life burning will be in the range of 92-95% with "seasoned hardwood.

Hard to believe this is so, but they say the stove theoretically could be connected to PVC pipe it's so clean.

" What is "Tertiary Burn Technology"????

Not sure what the secret is, though it may involved the forced air gasifier. Or maybe tertiary burn is what happens when you touch the pipe? :grrr:

Yup, I hear they scrapped their General Overview of the North American Dream Stove too. That's just nuts!
