What space does the Travis Industries 44 Elite suit?
- Its 78,046 BTU/h peak output covers roughly 2,250–3,100 sq ft at the 25–35 BTU/h-per-square-foot rule of thumb — see the sizing calculator to adjust for your insulation and climate.
- The 4.2 cu ft firebox puts it in the large-home, overnight-burn class.
- Rough fuel use: about 3.4 cords per season at the midpoint of its output range (8 burn-hours/day, 150-day season, 22 MMBtu/cord — see methodology).
- Certified burning Cord Wood — the test fuel closest to real-world firewood.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Travis Industries 44 Elite EPA certified?
The Travis Industries 44 Elite holds EPA certification number 150-18 but is no longer on the current certified list — it is previously certified, which usually means the model is out of production. Already-installed units are unaffected by that status in most jurisdictions.
What is the Travis Industries 44 Elite's emission rate?
The Travis Industries 44 Elite is certified at 1.8 grams of particulates per hour (tested with cord wood). Real-world emissions depend heavily on fuel moisture and operation — the lab figure assumes seasoned fuel and correct air settings.
How many square feet can the Travis Industries 44 Elite heat?
Roughly 2,250–3,100 sq ft, estimated from its 78,046 BTU/h peak output at 25–35 BTU/h per square foot. Insulation, climate, ceiling height, and floor plan move this figure substantially in both directions.
Does the Travis Industries 44 Elite qualify for a federal tax credit?
No — the federal 25C credit for biomass stoves was terminated for property placed in service after December 31, 2025. The Travis Industries 44 Elite's certified efficiency is 73% HHV, which did not meet the credit's ≥75% HHV threshold while it existed. State and local incentive programs may still apply — check your state energy office and air district.
