You bet. Woodstocks are some of the most efficient stoves out there. Woohoo!

The method for determining appliance efficiency may switch back to the Higher Heat Value of wood (HHV)*. Efficiency was calculated using the Lower Heat Value (LHV)* for the 2009-2010 tax credit. The net effect of the switch to HHV would be lower efficiency ratings across the board. Some stoves may no longer achieve 75% efficiency. Regardless of the method used, all Woodstock Soapstone wood stoves have tested higher than 75% efficient.


Woodstock Soapstone Model HHV* LHV*

...................205 Fireview 80.9% 90.9%

..................204 Keystone 75.8% 85.1%

..................202 Palladian 75.8% 85.1%

....................200 Classic 78.3% 88.7%

*The Higher Heat Value method does not subtract the energy lost to vaporizing water from the wood during combustion. Because this lost energy is subtracted from the calculation in the Lower Heat Value method the net efficiency rating is higher.
