The IDEAL STEEL Hybrid is 30% more efficient than the average
noncatalytic stove.** This means that 30% more heat stays in your house,
rather than going up the stack. Another way of looking at it is that
with an IDEAL STEEL Hybrid (82% Efficiency) 18% of the heat produced
goes up the stack, but with the average noncatalytic stove 37% of the
heat produced goes up the stack. That’s a huge difference in
performance.
Most serious woodburners operate their stoves at around 1.00-1.5 kgs/hr.
You’ll get up to 131,000 extra BTU’s per day with higher efficiency.
Independent lab testing has confirmed these high efficiencies with
cordwood, so you can be sure that you’ll get more heat, or burn less
wood, or both!

** For the mathematically challenged, the increase in efficiency from
63% to 82% is a 30% improvement (82/63=1.302). This is a huge increase.
