There are manufacturers other than the ten listed with this article that have made considerable efforts to develop and test efficient, clean-burning woodstoves. Some of these are no doubt waiting for the controversy over testing methods to clear before they invest in the very expensive process of Oregon testing. We believe that two of these stoves currently have credible testing figures. We won't quote the test data these companies have achieved, simply because their results aren't comparable to Oregon's testing methods.

American Eagle Stoves (Lancaster Fabricating Co., 100 W. Drullard Ave., Lancaster, NY 14086, 716/684-8256) participated in testing conducted by Shelton Energy Research for the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority in 1984, and their product proved to be the most efficient and cleanest-burning of the lot.

Lakewood Stove Company (P.O. Box 489, Bobcaygeon, Ont., Canada KOM 1A0, 705/738-2349) has also had extensive testing done by a variety of labs in Canada. In its December 1983 issue, Canadian Consumer magazine picked the Lakewood Special II($795) over five other catalytic stoves after extensive testing.
