I'm confused

How do two stoves with similar sized fireboxes one is 2.3 and the other is 2.1 end up with such completely different btu ratings? The Jotul btu ratings along with the PE T6 and summit classic state really high btu outputs. I don't get it.

Intake and exuast and how much heat it can handle before melt down

The PE T6 and Summit models have 3 cubic foot fireboxes.

It all depends on how it was tested. What kind of fuel wood, moisture content, EPA test or independent cordwood test. In order to achieve those high numbers you would have to feed wood into the stove constantly and keep the air wide open! :bug:
