    Q: Why can't you burn wood, coal burns at a much higher temperature.

    1 Answer
    • A: Hello, thank you for your question. Due to the 2020 EPA emissions regulations this stove must be sold as a "coal only" stove. While it's not a safety issue to burn wood in this stove, it is approved/certified for coal only.

    Q: what size pipe , good for 5th wheel?

    7 months ago
    1 Answer
    • A: The US Stove 1500 sq. ft. Railroad Potbelly Coal Stove (Model 1869) requires a 6-inch diameter chimney pipe system. However, this stove's manual explicitly states, "DO NOT install this stove in a mobile home or trailer". This is because the stove is not a UL Listed coal-burning stove and does not meet the strict safety and clearance-to-combustible standards required for manufactured or mobile homes like a 5th wheel. For mobile home or RV installation, you must use an approved, UL Listed to UL 103HT certified appliance and a corresponding listed chimney system with a 2-inch minimum clearance to combustibles

    Great stove

    I was surprised how quickly I received my stove and it was exactly what I wanted. After sealing it and breaking it in as instructed it has been great. I would recommend it!

    NO HEAT Control!

    7 months ago
    This is NOT airtight. With every single vent closed, this thing can still suck in enough air to have a raging uncontrollable burn! Wood or coal, there is NO real control, you are at the mercy of the fuel and how it wants to behave, sometimes it's calm and keeps perfect temps, sometimes it just takes off and easily hits 1000°!! There are NO seals, and NO way to actually lock the door down! DO NOT BUY THIS!! This is my second winter with it, I've tried everything! I'll be replacing it!

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Flawed design

    8 months ago
    The Shaker cannot be moved whatsoever. The only thing you can do is open and close the middle section of the shaker by pulling the handle in and out, which basically makes everything drop into the ashtray including large pieces of coal. So basically there is no way to keep the fire going, but you have to wait for the fire to go out in order to clean out. I should be refunded so I can buy something actually usable.

    No, I do not recommend this product.
