Affidavit PFS-TECO was contracted by Hearth & Home Technologies to provide testing services for the Expedition-I Wood-Fired Room Heater per ASTM E2780, Standard Test Method for Determining Particulate Matter Emissions from Wood Heaters. All testing and associated procedures were conducted at PFS-TECO’s Hearth Products laboratory beginning on 5/13/2021 and ending on 5/13/2021.
Model: Expedition-I Introduction Hearth & Home Technologies of Halifax, PA contracted with PFS-TECO to perform EPA certification testing on the model Expedition-I Wood-Fired Room Heater. All testing was performed at PFS-TECO’s Portland Laboratory in Clackamas, OR. All testing was performed by Sebastian Button.
Project # 21-661 Model: Expedition-I Test Procedures and Equipment All Sampling and analytical procedures were performed by Sebastian Button. procedures used are directly from ASTM E2780 and ASTM E2515. See the list below for equipment used. See Appendix C submitted with this report for calibration data.
The average emissions rate for the 2 run test series was measured to be 1.9 g/hr with a Higher Heating Value efficiency of 65%. The average CO emission rate for the 2 tests was 2.54 g/min. The HHT model Expedition-I Wood-Fired Room Heater meets Expedition-I the 2020 crib wood PM emission standard of ≤...
Project # 21-661 Model: Expedition-I Test Run Narrative Run 1 Run 1 was performed on 5/13/2021, in accordance with the procedures specified in ASTM E2780 for a single burn rate appliance. The total test time was 94 minutes. The particulate emissions rate for the test was 1.64 g/hr, the burn rate was 2.29 kg/hr with an HHV...

Refractory Insulation: The firebox is lined with 1.25” thick firebrick. Flue Outlet: 6-inch exhaust outlet located on the top of the appliance. Catalytic Combustor: N/A Fan: The Expedition-I is equipped with a convection fan attached to the lower front of the appliance. Appliance Dimensions...
Project # 21-661 Model: Expedition-I Test Fuel Properties Test fuel used was dimensional Douglas fir lumber in 2” x 4” (nominal). Test fuel was air dried to the specified moisture range of 19-25% dry basis. A typical fuel load is pictured...
Project # 21-661 Model: Expedition-I Sampling Locations and Descriptions Sample ports are located 16.5 feet downstream from any disturbances and 1 foot upstream from any disturbances. Flow rate traverse data was collected 12 feet downstream from any disturbances and 5.5 feet upstream from any disturbances. (See below).
Project # 21-661 Model: Expedition-I Sampling Methods ASTM E2515 was used in collecting particulate samples. The dilution tunnel is 12 inches in diameter. All sampling conditions per ASTM E2515 were followed. No alternate procedures were used and no sampling intervals fell outside of proportional rates of +/- 10%.

Expedition‐I Burn Instructions Firebox Volume – 1.45 ft3 Nominal Fuel Length ~ 17” Fuel Configuration – Four 2x4’s, 4 spacers on all pieces Kindling Fire Light approximately 7 lbs of kindling fuel with torch, push in ACC when closing door. Preburn Fire Once kindling has burned down to ~2 pounds and there is no more active flame, load preburn fuel. Preburn should consist of two 17” pieces loaded parallel to door with five or six 9” pieces loaded perpendicularly on top. Total preburn fuel weight should be about the same weight at the test fuel load. Once fuel is loaded, close door immediately, activate ACC, turn fan onto high. You should be in coal bed range right at the hour mark. Test Fire Level coal bed, ensuring Lower Primary Air Orifices are clear. Activate ACC prior to loading, once fuel is loaded keep door cracked for 80‐90 seconds then close. Fan on High, test length is ~90 minutes. ...

Chimney Systems A. Locating Your Stove & Chimney Location of the appliance and chimney will affect performance. As shown in Figure 12.1 the chimney should: • Install through the warm space enclosed by the building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially during lighting and die down of the fire. • Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the affects of wind turbulence and down drafts. • Consider the appliance location in order to avoid floor and ceiling attic joists and rafters. • Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions. Your local dealer is the expert in your geographic area and can usually make suggestions or discover solutions that will easily correct your flue problem.
