Cozy Heat COZY12 and COZY18: the stone cage does the work
You pour water and the steam comes back soft and wide instead of sharp and thin. That is what the outer cage buys you. The Cozy Heat is a wood burning sauna stove from Estonia, and the firebox sits inside an angular cage of diamond expanded steel mesh, packed with stones on every side. Heat leaves through rock rather than bare steel, so the room warms evenly and holds. The only routine jobs are emptying the ash box and restacking the stones once per year. It comes in two sizes: the COZY12 for home sauna rooms of 210 to 423 cu ft, and the COZY18 for 317 to 635 cu ft. Both are wood burning sauna heaters that install on the floor with no power and no wiring. Both are used with sauna stones and a chimney, and both of those are sold separately.
✓ RecovAthlete is an authorized Cozy Heat dealer. Orders include the factory warranty and direct manufacturer support.
The Promise
Most budget wood stoves give you a hot box with a shallow tray of rocks on top. The heat spikes and drops, and the löyly is weak because there is not enough hot rock to make it. Cozy Heat builds it the other way round: 243 lb of stone on the COZY12 and 353 lb on the COZY18, wrapped around the body rather than stacked above it.
IMPORTANT: NO UL, ETL OR CSA LISTING
Cozy Heat stoves are CE marked under the Construction Products Regulation 305/2011 EU, tested to EN 15821:2010 and BImSchV DIN EN 13240 level 2 by TUV SUD Industrie Service GmbH, notified body 0036, with a reaction to fire class of A1. That is European certification. They do not carry a UL, ETL or CSA listing. Many US and Canadian jurisdictions require a listed solid fuel appliance before an inspector will sign off, and some home insurers ask for the same. Check with your local building department and your insurer before you order. Lead time is 60 days from Estonia and these ship by LTL freight, so a permit problem found after delivery is an expensive one. If your inspector requires a listed stove, call us before you order and we will tell you which of the wood burning stoves we carry hold a listing for your area.
Why Buy This From RecovAthlete
You can find a cheaper wood sauna stove. You cannot buy this one cheaper: Cozy Heat sets the price and every dealer holds it. What changes is what comes with the order.
- We check your room volume, ceiling height and clearances before the order goes in. On a 60 day lead time that call is worth making.
- Authorized dealer, so the 24 month factory warranty is valid and Cozy Heat supports the stove directly.
- White glove delivery is a paid add-on. The crew brings it into the room instead of leaving 159 lb at the curb.
- Financing through Affirm, Brickhouse, Reliant and Acorn.
- Multi-unit pricing, consolidated freight, and a person on the phone at 866-861-6317.
The specs back that up. The COZY18 runs at 81.3% overall efficiency with a flue gas temperature of 234 °C / 453 °F, so more of the fire ends up in the room and less goes up the chimney. The COZY12 runs at 73.9%. Dust emission is 22 mg/m³ on the COZY12 and 35 mg/m³ on the COZY18. Both burn wood logs only, up to 30 cm / 11.8 in on both. Both are black steel with a 114 mm / 4.49 in flue that exits from the top.
Side clearance is where these fit rooms other stoves cannot. The COZY12 needs 6.7 in to the sides, 9.1 in behind and 19.7 in in front. The COZY18 needs 9.1 in to the sides. Allow 44.5 in of clear space above the COZY12 to the ceiling, and 52.8 in above the COZY18. The stove sits on the floor on a non-combustible base. Maintenance is the ash box after each session and a restack of the stones every 12 months, more often in a busy room.
Best For
- Traditional sauna owners who want real löyly and will feed a fire to get it.
- Rooms with no 240V supply, or an off-grid cabin sauna.
- Tight rooms. The 6.7 in side clearance on the COZY12 is unusually small.
Not Ideal For
- Anyone whose inspector or insurer requires a UL, ETL or CSA listed appliance.
- Buyers who want to load wood from outside the sauna. Choose the Cozy Heat Thru-Wall instead.
- Anyone who wants to press a button and walk away. Get an electric heater.
- Rooms under 210 cu ft. Even the COZY12 will overheat them.
Benefits and Features
| What you get | The feature behind it |
|---|---|
| Steam that lasts the whole session | 243 lb of stone on the COZY12, 353 lb on the COZY18, held around the firebox rather than on top of it |
| Heat that stays after the fire dies down | Stone mass releases slowly, so the room holds temperature while you top up the wood |
| Less wood per session | Three stage air feed burns the flue gases as well as the wood. 81.3% overall efficiency on the COZY18 |
| Fits a small room | 6.7 in side clearance on the COZY12, 9.1 in on the COZY18 |
| You can see the fire, and clear ash without a shovel | Glass firebox door, removable ash box and a cleaning hatch |
| The hottest part is the part they overbuilt | Flame cutter in 5 mm stainless steel, the component that takes the most heat |

Pick by room volume, not by how much heat you want. Non-insulated brick, glass, tile or concrete adds to the load: count an extra 1.2 m³ per square metre. Massive log walls multiply the volume by 1.5.
Who Buys the Cozy Heat
- The cabin owner off the grid. No 240V supply, no electrician, no new circuit to permit.
- The barrel sauna builder. Tight side clearance fits a narrow barrel without a heat shield.
- The traditionalist replacing a worn stove. They know what good löyly feels like.
BEFORE YOU ORDER
Stones are not included. You need 243 lb for the COZY12 or 353 lb for the COZY18, which is 5 boxes on the 12 kW or 7 boxes on the 18 kW. Use peridotite, olivine-dolerite or olivine. Cozy Heat publishes three different stone size ranges, so confirm the fraction with us first. Do not use stones picked up outdoors. The chimney is not included either, and the stove connects with a 114 mm / 4.49 in pipe from the top. Cozy Heat stoves cannot be used on a shared flue. Measure your room volume in cubic feet and your ceiling height before you choose the model. Confirm your local permit requirements first, because there is no North American listing on this stove.
Cozy Heat or the other cage shapes
All five Cozy Heat series share the same firebox, the same two outputs and the same clearances. Only the stone cage changes. This one is the original angular cage in diamond expanded mesh. The Cozy Heat O is round, and the Cozy Heat SW is the tallest, 32.1 in on the 12 kW and 34.3 in on the 18 kW, and it holds the most stone on the 18 kW at 397 lb. The OG and Quattro cages sit between them and are listed in the wood burning heater collection.
Also Consider
- Cozy Heat Thru-Wall. Same stove, loaded from outside the sauna room, so the wood, ash and mess stay out.
- Cozy Heat SW. Taller cage, 265 lb of stone on the 12 kW and 397 lb on the 18 kW, for a room where you want maximum steam.
- Cozy Heat O. Round cage, same output and clearances, if you prefer the shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the stones included?
No. The COZY12 needs 243 lb and the COZY18 needs 353 lb. That is 5 boxes for the 12 kW or 7 boxes for the 18 kW, in either the split-face Traditional stone or the Premium Rounded olivine diabase. Use peridotite, olivine-dolerite or olivine. Cozy Heat quotes three different size ranges across their manual, their website and the dealer sheet, so call us and we will confirm the right fraction before you order. Wash the dust off before you stack them.
What size chimney pipe does it take?
114 mm / 4.49 in, connecting from the top of the stove. The flue needs a minimum cross-section of 7,850 mm² / 12.2 sq in and a draught of 12 Pa. A shared flue is not allowed.
Is it UL or ETL listed?
No. It is CE marked under CPR 305/2011 EU and tested to EN 15821:2010 by TUV SUD, notified body 0036. Those are European standards. There is no North American listing. Check your local requirements first.
How long does delivery take?
Lead time is 60 days. The stoves are built in Estonia and ship by LTL freight.
What is the warranty?
24 months from purchase against manufacturing defects, proof of purchase required. It excludes metal deformation, surface coating and door glass.
Can I burn anything other than wood?
No. Wood logs only. No chipboard, plastic, coal, briquettes, pellets, painted or treated wood, or waste.
Why This Is the One to Buy
A wood stove is either a heat source or a sauna stove, and the difference is how much rock the fire touches. The Cozy Heat wraps the firebox in stone on every side, which is why the steam holds through a third pour.
Not sure whether your room takes the COZY12 or the COZY18, or what to ask your building department? Call 866-861-6317, 9am to 6pm EST, Monday to Friday, and we will size it against your room before you order.

- Cozy Heat SW. Taller cage, 265 lb of stone on the 12 kW and 397 lb on the 18 kW, for a room where you want maximum steam.
- Cozy Heat O. Round cage, same output and clearances, if you prefer the shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the stones included?
No. The COZY12 needs 243 lb and the COZY18 needs 353 lb. That is 5 boxes for the 12 kW or 7 boxes for the 18 kW, in either the split-face Traditional stone or the Premium Rounded olivine diabase. Use peridotite, olivine-dolerite or olivine. Cozy Heat quotes three different size ranges across their manual, their website and the dealer sheet, so call us and we will confirm the right fraction before you order. Wash the dust off before you stack them.
What size chimney pipe does it take?
114 mm / 4.49 in, connecting from the top of the stove. The flue needs a minimum cross-section of 7,850 mm² / 12.2 sq in and a draught of 12 Pa. A shared flue is not allowed.
Is it UL or ETL listed?
No. It is CE marked under CPR 305/2011 EU and tested to EN 15821:2010 by TUV SUD, notified body 0036. Those are European standards. There is no North American listing. Check your local requirements first.
How long does delivery take?
Lead time is 60 days. The stoves are built in Estonia and ship by LTL freight.
What is the warranty?
24 months from purchase against manufacturing defects, proof of purchase required. It excludes metal deformation, surface coating and door glass.
Can I burn anything other than wood?
No. Wood logs only. No chipboard, plastic, coal, briquettes, pellets, painted or treated wood, or waste.
Why This Is the One to Buy
A wood stove is either a heat source or a sauna stove, and the difference is how much rock the fire touches. The Cozy Heat wraps the firebox in stone on every side, which is why the steam holds through a third pour.
Not sure whether your room takes the COZY12 or the COZY18, or what to ask your building department? Call 866-861-6317, 9am to 6pm EST, Monday to Friday, and we will size it against your room before you order.

Cozy Heat COZY12 and COZY18: the stone cage does the work
You pour water and the steam comes back soft and wide instead of sharp and thin. That is what the outer cage buys you. The Cozy Heat is a wood burning sauna stove from Estonia, and the firebox sits inside an angular cage of diamond expanded steel mesh, packed with stones on every side. Heat leaves through rock rather than bare steel, so the room warms evenly and holds. The only routine jobs are emptying the ash box and restacking the stones once per year. It comes in two sizes: the COZY12 for home sauna rooms of 210 to 423 cu ft, and the COZY18 for 317 to 635 cu ft. Both are wood burning sauna heaters that install on the floor with no power and no wiring. Both are used with sauna stones and a chimney, and both of those are sold separately.
✓ RecovAthlete is an authorized Cozy Heat dealer. Orders include the factory warranty and direct manufacturer support.
The Promise
Most budget wood stoves give you a hot box with a shallow tray of rocks on top. The heat spikes and drops, and the löyly is weak because there is not enough hot rock to make it. Cozy Heat builds it the other way round: 243 lb of stone on the COZY12 and 353 lb on the COZY18, wrapped around the body rather than stacked above it.
IMPORTANT: NO UL, ETL OR CSA LISTING
Cozy Heat stoves are CE marked under the Construction Products Regulation 305/2011 EU, tested to EN 15821:2010 and BImSchV DIN EN 13240 level 2 by TUV SUD Industrie Service GmbH, notified body 0036, with a reaction to fire class of A1. That is European certification. They do not carry a UL, ETL or CSA listing. Many US and Canadian jurisdictions require a listed solid fuel appliance before an inspector will sign off, and some home insurers ask for the same. Check with your local building department and your insurer before you order. Lead time is 60 days from Estonia and these ship by LTL freight, so a permit problem found after delivery is an expensive one. If your inspector requires a listed stove, call us before you order and we will tell you which of the wood burning stoves we carry hold a listing for your area.
Why Buy This From RecovAthlete
You can find a cheaper wood sauna stove. You cannot buy this one cheaper: Cozy Heat sets the price and every dealer holds it. What changes is what comes with the order.
- We check your room volume, ceiling height and clearances before the order goes in. On a 60 day lead time that call is worth making.
- Authorized dealer, so the 24 month factory warranty is valid and Cozy Heat supports the stove directly.
- White glove delivery is a paid add-on. The crew brings it into the room instead of leaving 159 lb at the curb.
- Financing through Affirm, Brickhouse, Reliant and Acorn.
- Multi-unit pricing, consolidated freight, and a person on the phone at 866-861-6317.
The specs back that up. The COZY18 runs at 81.3% overall efficiency with a flue gas temperature of 234 °C / 453 °F, so more of the fire ends up in the room and less goes up the chimney. The COZY12 runs at 73.9%. Dust emission is 22 mg/m³ on the COZY12 and 35 mg/m³ on the COZY18. Both burn wood logs only, up to 30 cm / 11.8 in on both. Both are black steel with a 114 mm / 4.49 in flue that exits from the top.
Side clearance is where these fit rooms other stoves cannot. The COZY12 needs 6.7 in to the sides, 9.1 in behind and 19.7 in in front. The COZY18 needs 9.1 in to the sides. Allow 44.5 in of clear space above the COZY12 to the ceiling, and 52.8 in above the COZY18. The stove sits on the floor on a non-combustible base. Maintenance is the ash box after each session and a restack of the stones every 12 months, more often in a busy room.
Best For
- Traditional sauna owners who want real löyly and will feed a fire to get it.
- Rooms with no 240V supply, or an off-grid cabin sauna.
- Tight rooms. The 6.7 in side clearance on the COZY12 is unusually small.
Not Ideal For
- Anyone whose inspector or insurer requires a UL, ETL or CSA listed appliance.
- Buyers who want to load wood from outside the sauna. Choose the Cozy Heat Thru-Wall instead.
- Anyone who wants to press a button and walk away. Get an electric heater.
- Rooms under 210 cu ft. Even the COZY12 will overheat them.
Benefits and Features
| What you get | The feature behind it |
|---|---|
| Steam that lasts the whole session | 243 lb of stone on the COZY12, 353 lb on the COZY18, held around the firebox rather than on top of it |
| Heat that stays after the fire dies down | Stone mass releases slowly, so the room holds temperature while you top up the wood |
| Less wood per session | Three stage air feed burns the flue gases as well as the wood. 81.3% overall efficiency on the COZY18 |
| Fits a small room | 6.7 in side clearance on the COZY12, 9.1 in on the COZY18 |
| You can see the fire, and clear ash without a shovel | Glass firebox door, removable ash box and a cleaning hatch |
| The hottest part is the part they overbuilt | Flame cutter in 5 mm stainless steel, the component that takes the most heat |
COZY12 or COZY18
| Spec | COZY12 | COZY18 |
|---|---|---|
| Output | 12 kW | 18 kW |
| Room volume | 210 to 423 cu ft | 317 to 635 cu ft |
| Stone load | 243 lb | 353 lb |
| Stove weight | 108 lb | 159 lb |
| Width | 16.9 in | 19.7 in |
| Depth, door to handle | 18.5 to 20.1 in | 22.8 to 24.6 in |
| Height | 27.6 in | 29.8 in |
| Max log length | 13 in | 15.7 in |
| Efficiency | 73.9% | 81.3% |
| Side clearance | 6.7 in | 9.1 in |
| Ceiling above stove | 44.5 in | 52.8 in |
Pick by room volume, not by how much heat you want. Non-insulated brick, glass, tile or concrete adds to the load: count an extra 1.2 m³ per square metre. Massive log walls multiply the volume by 1.5.
Who Buys the Cozy Heat
- The cabin owner off the grid. No 240V supply, no electrician, no new circuit to permit.
- The barrel sauna builder. Tight side clearance fits a narrow barrel without a heat shield.
- The traditionalist replacing a worn stove. They know what good löyly feels like.
BEFORE YOU ORDER
Stones are not included. You need 243 lb for the COZY12 or 353 lb for the COZY18, which is 5 boxes on the 12 kW or 7 boxes on the 18 kW. Use peridotite, olivine-dolerite or olivine. Cozy Heat publishes three different stone size ranges, so confirm the fraction with us first. Do not use stones picked up outdoors. The chimney is not included either, and the stove connects with a 114 mm / 4.49 in pipe from the top. Cozy Heat stoves cannot be used on a shared flue. Measure your room volume in cubic feet and your ceiling height before you choose the model. Confirm your local permit requirements first, because there is no North American listing on this stove.
Cozy Heat or the other cage shapes
All five Cozy Heat series share the same firebox, the same two outputs and the same clearances. Only the stone cage changes. This one is the original angular cage in diamond expanded mesh. The Cozy Heat O is round, and the Cozy Heat SW is the tallest, 32.1 in on the 12 kW and 34.3 in on the 18 kW, and it holds the most stone on the 18 kW at 397 lb. The OG and Quattro cages sit between them and are listed in the wood burning heater collection.
Also Consider
- Cozy Heat Thru-Wall. Same stove, loaded from outside the sauna room, so the wood, ash and mess stay out.
- Cozy Heat SW. Taller cage, 265 lb of stone on the 12 kW and 397 lb on the 18 kW, for a room where you want maximum steam.
- Cozy Heat O. Round cage, same output and clearances, if you prefer the shape.

Cozy Heat COZY12 and COZY18: the stone cage does the work
You pour water and the steam comes back soft and wide instead of sharp and thin. That is what the outer cage buys you. The Cozy Heat is a wood burning sauna stove from Estonia, and the firebox sits inside an angular cage of diamond expanded steel mesh, packed with stones on every side. Heat leaves through rock rather than bare steel, so the room warms evenly and holds. The only routine jobs are emptying the ash box and restacking the stones once per year. It comes in two sizes: the COZY12 for home sauna rooms of 210 to 423 cu ft, and the COZY18 for 317 to 635 cu ft. Both are wood burning sauna heaters that install on the floor with no power and no wiring. Both are used with sauna stones and a chimney, and both of those are sold separately.
✓ RecovAthlete is an authorized Cozy Heat dealer. Orders include the factory warranty and direct manufacturer support.
The Promise
Most budget wood stoves give you a hot box with a shallow tray of rocks on top. The heat spikes and drops, and the löyly is weak because there is not enough hot rock to make it. Cozy Heat builds it the other way round: 243 lb of stone on the COZY12 and 353 lb on the COZY18, wrapped around the body rather than stacked above it.
IMPORTANT: NO UL, ETL OR CSA LISTING
Cozy Heat stoves are CE marked under the Construction Products Regulation 305/2011 EU, tested to EN 15821:2010 and BImSchV DIN EN 13240 level 2 by TUV SUD Industrie Service GmbH, notified body 0036, with a reaction to fire class of A1. That is European certification. They do not carry a UL, ETL or CSA listing. Many US and Canadian jurisdictions require a listed solid fuel appliance before an inspector will sign off, and some home insurers ask for the same. Check with your local building department and your insurer before you order. Lead time is 60 days from Estonia and these ship by LTL freight, so a permit problem found after delivery is an expensive one. If your inspector requires a listed stove, call us before you order and we will tell you which of the wood burning stoves we carry hold a listing for your area.
Why Buy This From RecovAthlete
You can find a cheaper wood sauna stove. You cannot buy this one cheaper: Cozy Heat sets the price and every dealer holds it. What changes is what comes with the order.
- We check your room volume, ceiling height and clearances before the order goes in. On a 60 day lead time that call is worth making.
- Authorized dealer, so the 24 month factory warranty is valid and Cozy Heat supports the stove directly.
- White glove delivery is a paid add-on. The crew brings it into the room instead of leaving 159 lb at the curb.
- Financing through Affirm, Brickhouse, Reliant and Acorn.
- Multi-unit pricing, consolidated freight, and a person on the phone at 866-861-6317.
The specs back that up. The COZY18 runs at 81.3% overall efficiency with a flue gas temperature of 234 °C / 453 °F, so more of the fire ends up in the room and less goes up the chimney. The COZY12 runs at 73.9%. Dust emission is 22 mg/m³ on the COZY12 and 35 mg/m³ on the COZY18. Both burn wood logs only, up to 30 cm / 11.8 in on both. Both are black steel with a 114 mm / 4.49 in flue that exits from the top.
Side clearance is where these fit rooms other stoves cannot. The COZY12 needs 6.7 in to the sides, 9.1 in behind and 19.7 in in front. The COZY18 needs 9.1 in to the sides. Allow 44.5 in of clear space above the COZY12 to the ceiling, and 52.8 in above the COZY18. The stove sits on the floor on a non-combustible base. Maintenance is the ash box after each session and a restack of the stones every 12 months, more often in a busy room.
Best For
- Traditional sauna owners who want real löyly and will feed a fire to get it.
- Rooms with no 240V supply, or an off-grid cabin sauna.
- Tight rooms. The 6.7 in side clearance on the COZY12 is unusually small.
Not Ideal For
- Anyone whose inspector or insurer requires a UL, ETL or CSA listed appliance.
- Buyers who want to load wood from outside the sauna. Choose the Cozy Heat Thru-Wall instead.
- Anyone who wants to press a button and walk away. Get an electric heater.
- Rooms under 210 cu ft. Even the COZY12 will overheat them.
Benefits and Features
| What you get | The feature behind it |
|---|---|
| Steam that lasts the whole session | 243 lb of stone on the COZY12, 353 lb on the COZY18, held around the firebox rather than on top of it |
| Heat that stays after the fire dies down | Stone mass releases slowly, so the room holds temperature while you top up the wood |
| Less wood per session | Three stage air feed burns the flue gases as well as the wood. 81.3% overall efficiency on the COZY18 |
| Fits a small room | 6.7 in side clearance on the COZY12, 9.1 in on the COZY18 |
| You can see the fire, and clear ash without a shovel | Glass firebox door, removable ash box and a cleaning hatch |
| The hottest part is the part they overbuilt | Flame cutter in 5 mm stainless steel, the component that takes the most heat |
COZY12 or COZY18
| Spec | COZY12 | COZY18 |
|---|---|---|

| Room volume | 210 to 423 cu ft | 317 to 635 cu ft |
| Stone load | 243 lb | 353 lb |
| Stove weight | 108 lb | 159 lb |
| Width | 16.9 in | 19.7 in |
| Depth, door to handle | 18.5 to 20.1 in | 22.8 to 24.6 in |
| Height | 27.6 in | 29.8 in |
| Max log length | 13 in | 15.7 in |
| Efficiency | 73.9% | 81.3% |
| Side clearance | 6.7 in | 9.1 in |
| Ceiling above stove | 44.5 in | 52.8 in |
Pick by room volume, not by how much heat you want. Non-insulated brick, glass, tile or concrete adds to the load: count an extra 1.2 m³ per square metre. Massive log walls multiply the volume by 1.5.
Who Buys the Cozy Heat
- The cabin owner off the grid. No 240V supply, no electrician, no new circuit to permit.
- The barrel sauna builder. Tight side clearance fits a narrow barrel without a heat shield.
- The traditionalist replacing a worn stove. They know what good löyly feels like.
BEFORE YOU ORDER
Stones are not included. You need 243 lb for the COZY12 or 353 lb for the COZY18, which is 5 boxes on the 12 kW or 7 boxes on the 18 kW. Use peridotite, olivine-dolerite or olivine. Cozy Heat publishes three different stone size ranges, so confirm the fraction with us first. Do not use stones picked up outdoors. The chimney is not included either, and the stove connects with a 114 mm / 4.49 in pipe from the top. Cozy Heat stoves cannot be used on a shared flue. Measure your room volume in cubic feet and your ceiling height before you choose the model. Confirm your local permit requirements first, because there is no North American listing on this stove.
Cozy Heat or the other cage shapes
All five Cozy Heat series share the same firebox, the same two outputs and the same clearances. Only the stone cage changes. This one is the original angular cage in diamond expanded mesh. The Cozy Heat O is round, and the Cozy Heat SW is the tallest, 32.1 in on the 12 kW and 34.3 in on the 18 kW, and it holds the most stone on the 18 kW at 397 lb. The OG and Quattro cages sit between them and are listed in the wood burning heater collection.
Also Consider
- Cozy Heat Thru-Wall. Same stove, loaded from outside the sauna room, so the wood, ash and mess stay out.
- Cozy Heat SW. Taller cage, 265 lb of stone on the 12 kW and 397 lb on the 18 kW, for a room where you want maximum steam.
- Cozy Heat O. Round cage, same output and clearances, if you prefer the shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the stones included?
No. The COZY12 needs 243 lb and the COZY18 needs 353 lb. That is 5 boxes for the 12 kW or 7 boxes for the 18 kW, in either the split-face Traditional stone or the Premium Rounded olivine diabase. Use peridotite, olivine-dolerite or olivine. Cozy Heat quotes three different size ranges across their manual, their website and the dealer sheet, so call us and we will confirm the right fraction before you order. Wash the dust off before you stack them.
What size chimney pipe does it take?
114 mm / 4.49 in, connecting from the top of the stove. The flue needs a minimum cross-section of 7,850 mm² / 12.2 sq in and a draught of 12 Pa. A shared flue is not allowed.
Is it UL or ETL listed?
No. It is CE marked under CPR 305/2011 EU and tested to EN 15821:2010 by TUV SUD, notified body 0036. Those are European standards. There is no North American listing. Check your local requirements first.
How long does delivery take?
Lead time is 60 days. The stoves are built in Estonia and ship by LTL freight.
What is the warranty?
24 months from purchase against manufacturing defects, proof of purchase required. It excludes metal deformation, surface coating and door glass.
Can I burn anything other than wood?
No. Wood logs only. No chipboard, plastic, coal, briquettes, pellets, painted or treated wood, or waste.
Why This Is the One to Buy
A wood stove is either a heat source or a sauna stove, and the difference is how much rock the fire touches. The Cozy Heat wraps the firebox in stone on every side, which is why the steam holds through a third pour.
