2.2 ZONE HEATING AND HOW TO MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU

Your new Enerzone Destination 1.6 wood fire is a space heater, which means it is intended to heat
the area it is installed in, as well as spaces that connect to that area, although to a lower
temperature. This is called zone heating and it is an increasingly popular way to heat homes or
spaces within homes.
Zone heating can be used to supplement another heating system by heating a particular space
within a home, such as a basement family room or an addition that lacks another heat source.
Although the wood fire may be able to heat the main living areas of your house to an adequate
temperature, we strongly recommend that you also have a conventional oil, gas or electric heating
system to provide backup heating.
Your success with zone heating will depend on several factors, including the correct sizing and
location of the wood fire, the size, layout and age of your home and your climate zone. Three-
season vacation homes can usually be heated with smaller wood fires than houses that are heated
all winter.

2.3 THE BENEFITS OF LOW EMISSIONS AND HIGH EFFICIENCY

The low smoke emissions produced by the special features inside the Enerzone Destination 1.6
firebox mean that your household will release up to 90 percent less smoke into the outside
environment than if you used an older conventional wood fire. But there is more to the emission
control technologies than protecting the environment.
The smoke released from wood when it is heated contains about half of the energy content of the
fuel. By burning the wood completely, your wood fire releases all the heat energy from the wood
instead of wasting it as smoke up the flue system. Also, the features inside the firebox allow you to
reduce the air supply to control heat output, while maintaining clean and efficient flaming
combustion, which boosts the efficient delivery of heat to your home.
The emission control and advanced combustion features of your wood fire can only work properly
if your fuel is in the correct moisture content range of 15 to 20 percent. See Section 3 of this
manual for suggestions on preparing fuelwood and judging its moisture.

2.4 ENERZONE'S COMMITMENT TO YOU AND THE ENVIRONMENT

The Enerzone team is committed to protecting the environment, so we do everything we can to
use only materials in our products that will have no lasting negative impact on the environment.

2.4.1 WHAT IS YOUR NEW WOOD FIRE MADE OF?

The body of your wood fire, which is most of its weight, is carbon steel. Should it ever become
necessary many years in the future, almost the entire wood fire can be recycled into new
products, thus eliminating the need to mine new materials.
