This has a 19.77 cubic foot firebox capacity, with the ability to heat 5,182 sq. ft.
The firebox size is 33.5"L by 31 3/4"W by 31 3/4"H and can handle 29 1/2 inch long pieces of wood with 4 inches of air space around it.
Water capacity is 185 gallons which stores 207,293 BTU of heat, ready to pull on in a moments notice and only costs $400 more then the FLRH-100 - a MUCH better value!
The water is kept at a consistent temperature which you can set to your comfort level and heating requirements.
The firebox door is 26.5 x 26.5 with a 2 foot square opening, suitable for massive logs.
As noted below, the water jacket bottom is the same thickness as the firebox chosen and the water jacket sides are 3/16"; 50% thicker than some other competitors models. Even better are the
water jacket upgrades are available to make it 1/4" thick (1/3 thicker) for just $395. That is what I did for my personal boiler.
The standard firebox is 3/8" thick (50% thicker than most other manufacturers).
The standard grates are the longest lasting because they are cast iron. This model has one grate.
Shipping weight is 2,175 lb crated; much more than other models which use thinner steel.
We are the only manufacturer that builds the water jacket bottom (the most vulnerable part) the same thickness as the firebox ordered.
Overall dimensions are 70" long by 46" wide by 87" to top of chimney.
