Drolet HT-3000 Wood Burning Stove

If you are comparing this stove to the HT 2000 its better insulated and holds heat longer for hotter secondary burn, improving efficiency. The side shielding is also an improvement. It throws the heat a long way. This stove has the same burn times as an HT 2000, if not a little better. I chose this over the Englander NC30 and I'm glad I did. I am venting this into an 8" insulated chimney liner with no significant issues but would imagine 6" might be a little better. Make sure your wood is seasoned if this is your first EPA stove. Watching the flames dance and using half the wood will be a joy this winter.

I was surprised at how well I liked the glass door. I had planned on replacing it with a steel plate right away, but I found I really like the ability to see the fire without opening the door. Big upgrade over the old Blaze King.

I absolutely love this stove! Like many others, I did a lot of research on stoves. I decided on this one and am very happy. I converted a 500 square foot attached garage into living space and put this stove in it. It was attached to the house by a 9-foot breezeway which has 5 steps up and into the main part of the house. This stove heats the whole house (minus the basement) perfectly. The house is a standard cape cod. The heat travels nicely up into the bedrooms which are on the second floor. It heats the house so well I turned off all the breakers to the electric baseboard heaters to ensure they don't get turned on. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. Load it up at night, close the damper to 1/4 open and it stays hot and you'll have lots of coals to start the next fire in the morning. I highly recommend it!

We purchased a Drolet HT3000 in fall 2020. Wanted to run it for a while before writing a review. Our home is 1570 sq ft with full walk out basement, built in the 90's. We are heating 3000 sq ft with the stove. The stove is located in the lower level and easily heats the entire house. Our coldest night so far was -18 C and the house was very warm. Most impressed at how much less wood the stove uses vs our old stove. Would highly recommend the additional blower fan. It is quiet and greatly increases the heat out put on colder days. Also like the ash pan. Very easy to lift the ash plug and scrape ash into the ash pan in the mornings. Always lots of coals after 8 to 10 hrs. Add some wood, open the damper and it takes off quickly. Highly recommend this stove.

This stove is a major upgrade from my previous stove. Great value.
I have ran it daily since I got it and have not found anything I dislike about it.
It was the difference of freezing and comfortable in my rural home.
I like the ash tray too, it does what is intended and keeps the dust down. I was a bit skeptical of the plug fitting once it got dirty, but I have had zero issues with it.
Nice long burn times too.
I have had no draft issues either. Might take a bit to get going on really calm days, but once she is going, I have had no problems.
I am very glad I got the HT 3000

We bought the HT3000 to replace a smaller stove that wouldn't hold enough wood to have any coals left in the morning. We've been heating with it for almost 3 months with no complaints. Yesterdays high temp was 21 degrees with 30-40 mph winds. The room the woodstove is in is 900 sq ft and the temp in that room stayed 76-77 all day (a little too warm as far as I'm concerned)and dropping to 74 during the night as the fire started to burn down to coals. The rest of the house, which is approx. an additional 1500 sq ft stayed about 74 all day and dropping to 71-72 during the night. The outdoor temp overnight dropped to around 17. As you can see by the pic, I keep a pedestal fan going behind stove, even though I bought the blower kit for the stove. The blower doesn't seem to throw the warm air across the room like the fan does.

The Drolet HT-3000 is extremely well built, though the wood burner is not installed as of yet, I've gone over it with a fine-tooth comb. It seems easy to install and use.

I would recommend 3 people to move this stove it is heavy at over 600 pounds. I finished hooking the stove pipe up I then started my first fire on 11-27-2019 and didn't have to relight it for more than two days! I can not say enough good things about it. The flames do dance This is an upgrade for me from the HT2000.
