- The 1.46 cu ft firebox puts it in the small/cabin class.
- Rough fuel use: about 1.4 cords per season at the midpoint of its output range (8 burn-hours/day, 150-day season, 22 MMBtu/cord — see methodology).

Frequently asked questions
Is the Wittus Shaker EPA certified?
Yes, the Wittus Shaker is on the EPA's current list of certified wood heaters (certification number 348-23) and meets the 2020 NSPS Step 2 emission limits.
What is the Wittus Shaker's emission rate?
The Wittus Shaker is certified at 1.8 grams of particulates per hour (tested with crib 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 Wittus Shaker heat?
Roughly 600–850 sq ft, estimated from its 21,399 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 Wittus Shaker 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 Wittus Shaker's certified efficiency is 76% HHV, which met 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.
