Drolet Escape 1800 Freestanding Wood Stove — EPA-Certified | 75,000 BTU | Side Panels & Top Heat Exchanger | Heats 2,100 Sq Ft

The Drolet Escape 1800 is the standard freestanding version of Drolet's most popular wood stove platform — a pedestal-base EPA-certified stove with 75,000 BTU/h of output, reduced-clearance side panels, a top heat exchanger, and a 2.4 cu ft firebox that burns up to 8 hours. Built for larger homes, open-concept living areas, and cabins, it's one of the best-selling wood stoves in the Drolet lineup for good reason.

Why the Escape 1800 Wins

The Escape 1800 is the most versatile model in the Escape 1800 family — the pedestal base gives it a cleaner, more modern silhouette than the cast iron leg versions while retaining every heating advantage: side panels, top heat exchanger, 8-hour burn times, and the full 75,000 BTU output. The top heat exchanger is a real-world performance advantage in larger rooms, actively pushing heat forward rather than letting it pool at ceiling height.

At $1,549, it sits between the On Legs ($1,399) and Brushed Nickel ($1,629) versions. The pedestal design is the most installation-neutral of the three — it works equally well in modern, traditional, and transitional interiors without the visual weight of cast iron legs.
