Blue Ridge 100 EPA Certified Wood Stove for Efficient Home Heating ESW0001

The Blue Ridge 100 is designed to heat spaces ranging from 250 to 1,200 square feet. Its maximum heat output of 45,000 BTU/h makes it ideal for smaller homes, cabins, workshops, or specific zones within larger homes. The actual heating capacity will vary based on your home's insulation, ceiling height, climate zone, and how you operate the stove. For optimal performance in colder climates or poorly insulated spaces, consider sizing toward the lower end of the heating range.

The Englander Blue Ridge 100 offers up to 5 hours of burn time on a single load of seasoned cordwood. Actual burn times depend on several factors including wood species, moisture content (dry wood burns longer), how tightly you pack the firebox, and your desired heat output level. The 1.8 ft³ firebox accepts logs up to 17 inches long (16 inches recommended) and provides enough capacity for extended heating without constant attention. The deeper ash chamber also means you'll need to empty ashes less frequently than comparable models.

Yes, the Blue Ridge 100 is EPA 2020 certified with an exceptionally clean particulate emission rate of only 1.8 g/h and achieves 74-80% efficiency. This wood stove qualifies for the federal 25(C) tax credit, allowing you to claim 30% of the purchase price and installation costs up to $2,000 per year. To claim the credit, keep your purchase receipt and installation invoices, and consult with a tax professional. The stove meets all current EPA environmental standards and exceeds requirements for clean-burning wood heating appliances.

Yes, the Englander Blue Ridge 100 is certified for both mobile home and alcove installations. For mobile home installation, you must use a fresh air intake kit (model AC01336, sold separately) to meet safety requirements. The stove is certified to UL 1482 and UL 737 standards for mobile home use. For alcove installations, follow the clearance requirements specified in the installation manual. Always ensure proper clearances: 12-14 inches to back wall with single-wall pipe (6 inches with double-wall), 18 inches to side walls, and 84 inches from base to ceiling.

The Blue Ridge 100 features a non-catalytic combustion system that requires minimal maintenance compared to catalytic models. Regular maintenance includes: removing ash buildup when it reaches 2-3 inches (the deep ash chamber allows less frequent cleaning), cleaning the glass with a wood stove glass cleaner as needed (the airwash system helps keep it clean), inspecting and cleaning the chimney annually or after every cord of wood burned, checking door gaskets annually and replacing if worn, and inspecting the baffle and refractory bricks periodically for damage. The vermiculite baffle and high-density refractory bricks are durable but should be inspected regularly.

The Blue Ridge 100 includes a pedestal base, ash lip, air intake damper, and rear air deflector with purchase. Optional accessories available separately include: a 100 CFM variable speed blower with quick connect thermodisc (model AC02050) for enhanced heat circulation throughout your space, a 5-inch diameter fresh air intake kit (model AC01336) required for mobile home installations and recommended for tightly sealed homes, and the quick connect thermodisc (model AC02055) for automatic blower operation. These accessories enhance performance and provide greater control over your heating experience.

The Blue Ridge 100 is designed to burn dry, seasoned cordwood with moisture content below 20% for optimal performance and efficiency. The firebox accepts logs up to 17 inches long, though 16-inch logs are recommended for best results and easier loading through the 12-inch wide door opening. Hardwoods like oak, maple, and ash provide longer burn times and more heat output, while softwoods like pine ignite more easily but burn faster. Never burn treated wood, painted wood, plywood, particleboard, or trash as these release harmful chemicals and can damage your stove. Properly seasoned wood burns cleaner, produces less creosote, and maximizes the stove's efficiency.

The Englander Blue Ridge 100 comes with a 5-year limited warranty on parts, covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty demonstrates Englander's confidence in the quality construction and durability of this American-made wood stove. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear items like door gaskets, glass, or firebricks, nor damage caused by improper installation, operation, or maintenance. For warranty service, retain your purchase receipt and register your product with Englander. Extended warranty options may be available through authorized dealers. Always have your wood stove installed by a qualified professional following all local building codes and manufacturer specifications to maintain warranty coverage.
