The Ventis HE325R (VB00026) is an EPA 2020-certified zero-clearance wood fireplace with retractable doors, so you can run it closed for efficient heat or slide the doors away to enjoy the fire. It is built by Stove Builder International and rated for 850 to 2,200 square feet at up to 80,000 BTU/hr on seasoned cordwood.
Its emissions figure is what stands out: 0.99 g/h, well under the EPA limit, with 72% optimum efficiency and Washington State approval. The 2.9 cubic foot firebox takes 16-inch logs behind 208 square inches of glass, and a C-Cast baffle and an exterior air-intake adapter are standard.
