Forge & Flame Dauntless-C

The Dauntless-C is rated to heat about 900–1,850 sq ft. It's a cast iron wood stove with a 1.8 cu ft firebox, and its EPA-tested heat output runs from 13,600 to 21,400 BTU per hour.

Yes. The top is a cast iron griddle you can cook on, and an optional cooking grill sits under the griddle to give you a more versatile cooking surface. The manual warns that running the griddle continuously above 650°F can damage the cast iron or enamel finish.

Most people load from the top: the griddle lifts so you can drop in logs up to 16 inches, which keeps smoke and ash inside and lets you fit more wood. Front doors open too. A swing-out ash pan lets you remove ashes even while the stove is hot.

Expect about 7–10 hours per load. You set one primary air lever, and a bimetallic thermostat holds the heat output steady through the burn. A separate damper is either open for starting and reloading or closed to send smoke through the catalyst, with no in-between positions.

The included catalytic combustor burns off smoke and particulates at 500–600°F, about half the temperature unaided secondary combustion needs, and the manual says it can raise efficiency up to 15% on low burn. The stove is EPA certified at 1.7 g/hr, with 81% LHV and 75% HHV tested efficiency.

Yes, in the USA only; it isn't approved for mobile homes in Canada. It can't go in a sleeping room, it needs an outside combustion air inlet, and it must be bolted down with the supplied mobile home brackets and grounded to the frame with #8 copper wire.

With a top exit, it needs 14 inches to the side and back walls on single wall pipe, or 12 inches on double wall pipe, which is a US-only clearance. In the US, the noncombustible floor protector must reach 16 inches in front of the glass and 8 inches to each side of the loading door; Canada requires 18 inches in front.

Yes. The air control, thermostat, and damper are all manual, so the stove doesn't depend on electricity. The only electrical part is the optional variable-speed fan kit, rated 115V, 60Hz, 1.1 amps, which is sold separately.
