Firebox size

[marty319]

3rd time on a woodstove that they quit manufacturing it,first enviro,then osburn 2300 and now sbi tells me they no longer manufacture the 3300 model.anyways I'm looking at getting the pe summit and I thought it had the 3.0 cu ft firebox but looking on their website it's only 2.5.i was positive when I looked last fall it was 3.0.anyways 2.5 is too small for my needs.i also thought the t6 had a 3.0 firebox but it says 2.5 on their site

Did they tell you why ?

Same firebox. I think this was discussed not long ago? I suspect they decided not to count the area above the baffle.

They might be listing the EPA usable volume. The T6 has always been a 3 cu ft stove. Unless they have a new version

Older models of the Summit had a 3.0 cu ft firebox, but this was reduced as part of the units last upgrade cycle.
