Frequently asked questions
Is the Kuma Stove And Iron Works K-250 Series Ashwood LE EPA certified?
The Kuma Stove And Iron Works K-250 Series Ashwood LE holds EPA certification number 181-19 but is no longer on the current certified list — it is previously certified, which usually means the model is out of production. Already-installed units are unaffected by that status in most jurisdictions.
What is the Kuma Stove And Iron Works K-250 Series Ashwood LE's emission rate?
The Kuma Stove And Iron Works K-250 Series Ashwood LE is certified at 1.1 grams of particulates per hour (tested with cord wood). Real-world emissions depend heavily on fuel moisture and operation — the lab figure assumes seasoned fuel and correct air settings.
