The Kozi 100 Pellet Stove

The Kozi 100 is a simple square design. The freestanding stove is mounted on a pedestal and floor protector. It produces 40,000 btu. and is capable of heating an area of 1,500 square feet. Maximum burn time is 50 hours for the freestanding stove without the hopper extension, and 40 hours for the insert.

The optional hopper extension adds fifty pounds fuel capacity and extends the maximum burn time to 100 hours. See comments below. The cheapest version of this stove is designated 'BD' which means black door. The BD version is totally unadorned and functional. The standard version gains a metallic finish door and corner trim.

Standard equipment with this stove is the glass saver, which reduces cleaning, and the spring coil cool grip door handle.

The 'MX' controller provides stove diagnostics in the form of blinking led lights to alert the user to any problems.

Comments

The hopper extension can not be fitted to the Insert.

Unusually, the circulation fan motor on this stove has oiling points and this is part of the regular maintenance schedule.

This stove is sensitive to pellet quality and can not handle pellets with a high ash content.

The air draft for combustion must be adjusted manually.

The auger motor, burn pot and igniter are not covered by the warranty.

Maintenance

Weekly

Clean the heat exchanger tubes, lift top heat shield and dump ashes into burn chamber, remove and clean the burn pot, empty the ash. Clean the glass and inspect the condition of the door gasket.

Yearly

Clean the venting system, clean behind the rear heat shield and the exhaust passages in the stove. Clean the combustion fan and housing. Oil the circulation fan motor.
