Although the top loading of the Isle Royale may be one of the best characteristics of any stove. It's nice not having to bend down to load your fire box. Plus 14-19 hour burn times? That even out burns your fireview!!

Firebox Capacity (cu. ft.): 3.0
Max. Log Length 22"
Emissions (g/hr) 2.9

I love my Isle Royale, but 14.5 to 19.5 hr burn times are fantasy unless you're talking about a live coal that is dug out
from under the ash bed.
"I guess they are falsely advertising then, because I copied and pasted that information from page 10 of the quadra fire brochure. Look for your self: http://www.quadrafire.com/downloads/brochures/bro_woodStoves.pdf"
As a long time motorcycle rider I have learned stats from the brochure are usually only creative thoughts from the marketing department.
...and this is coming from someone that works in advertising and marketing.
Dimensions, BTUs, firebox size, log length, clearances. Hard numbers that are tough to fudge.
Heating sq footage, burn times, super secret clean burn technology; Stretched to the limits by the marketing department
