The distance required from floor to exit in top plate for top vent is 34.7" or 30.8" from floor to center of rear exit to back vent. The RAIS Rondo requires only a 7" clearance to the back wall and a 14" clearance to the side walls.
Optimal Efficiently:
To achieve even more heat energy from the wood, RAIS stoves preheat the combustion air, guides the preheated air through a system of baffle plates. When the thermal conditions are met, 80% of the weight of a dry wood log is turned into volatiles. Please note that it is important that the wood moisture is low, RAIS recommends 16-20% moisture in the wood.
Environmentally Responsible Wood Burning:
Respecting the environment has always been very close to the hearth of RAIS. Our stoves have been thoroughly tested and more than live up to all applicable environmental standards. In fact, RAIS now certifies most of our stoves, including the Rais Rondo, to the new Nordic Swan Eco-label, in addition to EPA certification. If used correctly your new RAIS stove will be CO2 neutral, as the CO2 emission from a RAIS wood-burning stove is equal to the volume of CO2 that would be given off if the wood was left to decompose in its natural surroundings.
