Forge & Flame: Outfitter II (Quadra-Fire)

An efficient steel pellet stove with a 130 lb hopper for long, steady burns.

Who It’s For

A good pellet stove is only as convenient as its hopper. Refills should be rare. You need an efficient stove that carries a lot of fuel. If you are replacing an old pellet stove or switching from wood and want fewer trips with the bag, the Forge & Flame Outfitter II, featuring Quadra-Fire burn technology, fits. Choose it and long winters get a lot easier.

What Makes It Special

Its hopper holds 130 lb of pellets, about twice what most stoves carry, so it burns for long stretches between fills.

It is also efficient, at 82% on the higher heating value. A top-feed auger, a removable ash pan, and a digital wall thermostat keep daily use simple. It covers roughly 1,300 to 2,300 square feet.

Possible Downsides

• There is no log set option.
• A remote costs extra.

If you want efficient pellet heat with the fewest refills in a simple stove, the Forge & Flame Outfitter II is the right decision. You fill it, forget it, and the house stays warm for days.

Add a remote control, an outside air kit, a flue adapter, or rear and top vent adapters.
