Superior WXS2016 Freestanding Wood-Burning Stove with Steel Door
SuperiorWXS2016 Overview
The Superior WXS2016 is a 24-inch freestanding wood-burning stove with a clean, contemporary design. The 1.6-cubic-foot firebox accepts logs up to 18 inches (16 inches recommended) and delivers up to 55,000 BTU of heat with a 6-to-8-hour burn time, sized to heat 700 to 1,400 square feet. Standard equipment includes a black painted finish, black pedestal base, heavy-gauge steel door with ceramic glass for an expansive view of the fire, high-density interior firebrick that retains heat for greater efficiency, baffle system, integral air-wash system that keeps the glass clean, one-touch combustion control, and a 6-inch flue outlet.
The WXS2016 is EPA 2020 certified at 1.7 g/hr particulate emissions (using crib wood test method), meeting current federal emission standards. Listed by PFS TECO to UL 1482 and ULC S627 (PFS report 14-193) for residential and HUD-approved mobile home installations. Optional accessories include the BLWR-ES-S150 150-cfm blower with Dial-A-Temp speed control ($496) for maximum heat circulation, the Outside Air Kit components (OAPCK panel and channel $144, UZI insulated flex $132, UZIAD flex adaptor $77, recommended for tightly-built homes), and the F5035 satin black touch-up spray paint kit ($73).
Chimney/stove pipe sold separately. The WXS2000 series uses a 6-inch flue outlet and requires a complete chimney system: 6-inch single-wall or double-wall stove pipe (black where visible indoors), Class A insulated chimney through ceiling/roof penetrations, and approved ceiling support, flashing, and termination. Stove pipe and chimney components are not included with the stove and must be ordered separately. Contact Fireplace Insider for stove pipe and chimney sizing assistance.
Outside Air Kit recommended for tightly-built homes. The optional Outside Air Kit (OAPCK Panel and Channel Kit, UZI 4-inch insulated flex air kit, and UZIAD flex adaptor) provides combustion air directly from outside the home. This is required or strongly recommended in tightly-sealed homes, mobile homes, or homes with mechanical ventilation systems where indoor air pressure could affect stove draft. A typical OAK installation includes all three components for approximately $353 total.
