The Performer is just what the name says. Compact but able to generate almost over 72,000 BTU/hr of heat to warm a home of up to 2000 sq. ft. It has a EPA efficiency rating of almost 70% and like all Country Wood-burning stoves, produces emissions well under EPA minimums. As with all the steel stove selections, this stove can be customized for you with either 24 karat gold plated door and legs, nickel plated door and legs, standard black door and legs, pedestal or ash drawer pedestal, many stove body colors, and any combination of these (see options for Striker 160).
