Forge & Flame Millennium 4300

Yes. In most homes, expect the Forge & Flame Millennium 4300 to heat 1,550–3,100 sq ft, and it's built for larger homes where wood is the main heat. It stands on a pedestal, with a cast iron arched door over a welded steel firebox; for a small room, the 2100 is the better size.

Expect approximately 8–12 hours from a load in the Millennium 4300's 2.26 cubic foot firebox, which takes logs up to 18 inches of seasoned cordwood. It's EPA certified to the 2020 particulate standard at 1.6 grams per hour.

No. Its Automatic Combustion Control opens extra start-up air when you light or reload the Millennium 4300, then closes on its own in about 20 minutes so you can walk away. After that, the burn rate control sets how much air feeds the fire and how much heat you get.

The Millennium 4300 has an Ash Removal System: once the stove and ashes are completely cool, you lift a cast iron cap in the firebox and sweep ash down a channel into a drawer below. The manual recommends leaving 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ash on the firebox floor so air flows under the wood.

You can add a 160 CFM fan kit with rheostat speed control and automatic or manual settings, which plugs into 115-volt power. The other options are a satin nickel door upgrade kit, with hinge pins, spring handle, and air control handle, and an outside air kit.

It uses a 6-inch flue, vented straight up, horizontally after at least 2 feet of vertical pipe, or through the back wall off a 90-degree elbow with double-wall pipe. With single-wall pipe it needs 11-3/4 inches to the back wall and 14-1/2 inches to a side wall; double-wall pipe cuts the back clearance to 5-1/4 inches. Alcoves can be up to 48 inches deep.

In the US, the non-combustible floor protector must reach at least 16 inches in front of the glass and 8 inches past each side of the loading door; Canada requires 18 inches in front. The brochure lists a minimum of 31-5/8 inches wide by 41 inches deep, and with horizontal venting the protector also runs under the flue pipe and 2 inches beyond each side.

Yes, the Millennium 4300 is approved for mobile homes, though never in a sleeping room. That install needs the OAK-ACC outside air kit, double-wall connector pipe with a UL103 HT chimney and a spark-arrestor cap, and a ground to the home's frame with #8 copper wire.
