Appears that you are in Oregon. The Earth Stove 1002-0 ES02 is on the current Oregon DEQ list as qualified for installation in the state.

you beat me to it, BTW also, Omni labs is a UL listed testing agency so the unit should carry a UL 1482 listing. with this and BB's findings you should be GTG. if you have no luck, gimme a yell and i'll see if i can get you a contact number at Omni (they do testing for us as well)
OH and welcome to the hearth, you wont find a better bunch of people no matter how hard you may try (after meeting BB that is)![]()
I didn't see that site! Thank you so much, took a big weight off of our shoulders. We were heating with a kerosene heater last winter but broke mid winter and we had to use 3 space heaters, 400 bucks a month yay! We only have about a month until it gets cold so we're trying to get this squared away in the next week or two. Thanks for you help guys!
Thanks so much! My husband also wanted to know since we can't find anything about it, but can we just tile our floor and place the stove on it? Or does it have to be an actual hearth with the fire rated stuff and an air gap? He also read somewhere that a UL listing can expire if it's more than 20 years old, and that it should be treated as unlisted, is this true?
Omni tests to UL standards but since UL didn't do the testing it would never have been in their listing directory or had a conformance expiration date anyway. What UL specification tests gives wood stoves is clearance specification. Only way those change is when a car crusher makes a ball of scrap out of them at the junkyard.
OMNI like Intertek is licensed by UL to test to the standards they set. so its recognised as "UL listed" as if UL did it themselves (which they do not do) UL sets the standards, the agencies test to them. and its a bit more involved than just setting clearances, they also have requirements for the spec's on glass, and how its retained, electronics shock hazards and pinch hazards from moving parts (not as big a deal on wood , but matters on pellet and such. its relatively complex)

So are you saying they don't expire? Sorry, you guys are too smart haha. Never dealt with a wood stove before.
Yea, what he said. Stick around, you will quickly learn a lot of us are years ahead in wood stocks, and having good dry wood takes a year or more in preparation. You Can't just put in a wood stove and expect heat. Pallets, A rare dry wood score from Craigslist, construction scraps are usually drier than cord wood you can buy or find. Someone may be actually selling dry wood. I have a few cords of premium seasoned hardwood I am going to try to sell this year, at a premium price. ?Unfortunately, I doubt anyone will buy it. People looking for wood in November don't know about wood, and will go for the less expensive, cut last week wood, that is delivered and stacked, lol. Good luck.Your biggest challenge may be getting dry wood to burn. It is very hard to come by well seasoned wood in Sept.. If you can get some fir or alder that was split in spring you might have a spitting chance. Otherwise this could be a funky burn year.
Be sure to check the chimney for build up at least once a month until you get to know the wood and stove.

That's great! Do be careful loading lots of pallet or lumber wood into a stove, though. Ideal stove wood has moisture content around 20%, and kiln-dried lumber is usually closer to 8%-10%, stored indoors. Combine that factor with a lot of smaller pieces (like pallet wood), and you have a recipe for what we call a "run-away" stove. There are a few here who have a lot of experience burning lumber scrap, but my amateur advice is to not load the stove full of the stuff. Mix it with some cord wood, and you'll be okay.We're not too worried about the wood situation this year, us southern oregon redneck folk are pretty good at this wood cutting thing and we have lots of friends who cut 100s of cords a year and rotate them accordingly, so it's always nice and dry, and they're willing to help us get started. Another plus is both my husband and I work for Jeld-Wen Windows and Doors so we get LOADS of pallets, 2 x 4's etc. We could probably NEVER cut or buy wood, and always have wood to burn! So as long as we have a job anyway, haha. I'm sure I'll be pestering you guys alot!
