HearthStone describes a 4-tube secondary combustion system with a fixed baffle that ensures a clean burn before the catalyst performs the finishing touches. A bypass handle directs combustion products around the catalyst during startup and reloading, and through the catalyst once the catalyst probe shows the stove is in its active range. The Castleton uses Applied Ceramics ACI-6M2 catalytic combustors, which require periodic inspection and eventual replacement. The catalyst becomes active around 500°F, and the Castleton 8031 typically operates in the 800°F to 1300°F range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSoapstone and Cast Iron Construction\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Castleton combines soapstone with cast iron elements produced at HearthStone's own foundry. Soapstone absorbs the heat of the fire and releases it gradually, warming objects in the room rather than only the air. HearthStone notes that soapstone requires gradual break-in fires so the natural moisture in the freshly quarried stone is driven out slowly, and that stone color may change and small surface fractures may appear with use without affecting stove function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eConvenient Square Firebox\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe square shape of the Castleton creates a 19\" wide by 17\" deep firebox suited to loading and arranging firewood. HearthStone publishes a firebox capacity of 1.9 cubic feet in the current owner's manual, and the firebox accepts logs up to 18\" in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFire Viewing and Everyday Operation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA large glass window lets the fire be seen from a variety of locations in the room. A single primary air control lever below the ash lip regulates the burn rate and does not close completely, the bypass handle controls catalyst engagement, and a catalyst probe shows when the stove is in the active temperature range. Turn the stove to high and stoke a big fire, or turn it all the way down to keep a fire burning overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHeating Performance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHearthStone publishes a heating area of up to a maximum of 1,500 square feet and a maximum heat output of 45,000 BTU per hour of cordwood, based on independent laboratory test results. Under EPA test conditions, the Castleton 8031 delivered heat at rates ranging from 12,501 to 24,540 BTU (output). HearthStone states in the current owner's manual that the Castleton should not be considered the primary heat source for a home, and that factors unique to a given house can reduce the square footage the stove will heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Finishes and Configurations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Castleton 8031 is currently orderable in three finishes.

HearthStone defines the term \"Limited Lifetime\" as 10 years from the beginning of warranty coverage, and applies it to the stone, to cast iron not listed elsewhere, and to the clean-burning air supply system. Door handles and latches and steel components and the firebox carry a 5-year period. Appliance electrical components carry a 2-year period. Enamel finish against peeling or fading, glass, the ash grate, accessories, and all components not listed elsewhere carry a 1-year period. The catalytic combustors are covered directly by the combustor manufacturer, Applied Ceramics, under a separate limited warranty that provides free replacement within two years of purchase and prorated replacement pricing thereafter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHearthStone pays for warranty labor performed by an authorized dealer during the first year after the purchase date only when the appliance was installed by an authorized dealer or their designated representative; otherwise, and thereafter, labor is the purchaser's responsibility. Exclusions include over-firing, improper installation or operation, service by anyone other than an authorized dealer, use of unapproved fuels or components, water and corrosion damage, and normal wear parts such as paint, gaskets, baffles, refractory materials, ash grates, and glass. Surface and hairline cracks and scratches in the stone that do not affect operation or safety are excluded, and HearthStone's obligation does not extend to the appliance's ability to heat a desired space. Warranty registration is not required as a condition of coverage.
