One of the standout features of the Drolet 1800 EPA is its high-efficiency rating.

In terms of technology, the Drolet 1800 EPA is equipped with a secondary combustion system that promotes complete combustion of gases and particulates.

The stove's compact size does not compromise its performance; it features a 6-inch chimney connector that allows for straightforward installation and compatibility with various venting configurations. Additionally, the Drolet 1800 EPA is designed with safety in mind, incorporating features like a protective heat shield and a secure ash drawer for easy cleaning and maintenance.
