Forge & Flame Discovery III

The Forge & Flame Discovery III, featuring Quadra-Fire burn technology, heats about 1,550–3,100 square feet. It's the biggest stove in the Discovery series, built for a large living space where wood is the main heat. For a smaller room, the Discovery I is the better size.

Expect about 8–12 hours per load. Its 2.26 cubic foot firebox takes logs up to 18 inches long, so you can add a log at bedtime and still find glowing coals at sunrise.

It's a timed start-up air system. You push the activation knob back and pull it forward, and the ACC timer holds the start-up air inlet open for about 20 minutes before closing on its own. A separate burn rate control sets the airflow for your comfort level after that.

It carries an 80% certified efficiency rating and is certified to the 2020 EPA wood heater standard at 1.6 grams per hour. Quadra-Fire's Four-Point Burn System burns the fire in stages, including a final zone above the baffle, before exhaust leaves the chimney.

Yes. Each side holds three nominal 12 by 12 inch noncombustible tiles, sized 11-11/16 to 11-7/8 inches square and no more than 5/16 inch thick, or you can repaint the solid side panels with 300°F high-temp paint. A wood storage bin is built into the pedestal, and the cast iron door has satin nickel hinge pins.

No, the blower is a separate 160 CFM fan kit that helps spread warmth through the room. The only other listed add-on is an ACC outside air kit.

Yes to both. A mobile home install needs the OAK-ACC outside air kit, a #8 copper ground wire to the frame, listed double-wall connector pipe with a spark arrestor, and no sleeping-room placement. In an alcove, you must use 6-inch double-wall connector pipe, and the alcove can be no more than 48 inches deep.

In the US, the non-combustible floor protector must extend at least 16 inches in front of the glass and 8 inches to each side of the loading door, and the brochure lists a 31-5/8 by 41 inch minimum. Canada requires 18 inches in front.
