Forge & Flame Outfitter II

The Outfitter II heats roughly 1,300–2,300 sq ft, with a peak input of 49,200 BTU per hour. It's 82% efficient on the higher heating value and EPA certified at 0.53 g/hr, meeting the 2020 particulate standard.

The Outfitter II is the bigger of the two. Its 130 lb hopper is more than double the Outfitter I's 60 lb, and it's rated for 1,300–2,300 sq ft versus 700–1,400 sq ft. It's also more efficient, at 82% HHV compared with 75%.

It comes standard with a dial control offering five heat settings plus a digital wired wall thermostat, which connects to a terminal block on the back of the stove. A handheld Smart-Stat remote is optional and costs extra. A small trim dial adjusts the air-to-fuel ratio for your fuel and venting.

It uses 3-inch or 4-inch Type L or PL pellet vent from a 3-inch rear exhaust outlet. Optional adapters let you go straight out the back with a clean-out, turn the vent up through the top, or step up from 3 to 4 inches, and an outside air kit is available.

It needs just 3 inches from the back wall and 9 inches from a side wall, or 3 inches to the walls in a corner install. The minimum floor protector is 27 inches wide by 30-1/8 inches deep, extending 6 inches in front of the glass door.

Yes, it's approved for mobile homes as long as it's not in a sleeping room. An outside air kit (part 811-0872 or OAK-3) must be installed, the stove must be secured to the home's structure, and it must be grounded to the frame with #8 copper wire.

Clean the firepot daily or every 3 bags, and remove firebox ash weekly or every 5 bags using the removable ash pans. The hopper, exhaust path, and convection blower need attention monthly or every 25 bags, and the venting yearly or every 3 tons. A built-in firepot burn-down cycle helps clear debris between cleanings.

Yes, a convection blower is included. It turns on automatically once the stove is hot and keeps running after shutdown until the exhaust cools. The stove plugs into a grounded 3-prong, 120-volt outlet and draws 2.3 amps while running.
