Product Features
Catalytic-Free Tube Combustion System
The TN10 wood burning stove uses a durable secondary tube combustion system instead of a catalyst. This reignites unburned gases for cleaner emissions and steady heat, with no expensive catalytic combustor to monitor or replace over the life of the stove.
Heavy-Duty 10-Gauge Steel Construction
Built from quality 10-gauge plate steel with a heavy plate-steel top and a gasketed cast iron door, this small wood stove is engineered to withstand years of high-heat use while holding a tight seal for efficient, controlled burns.
Air Wash System for Clean Ceramic Glass
A built-in air wash directs combustion air across the ceramic glass, keeping it clear so you get a full, unobstructed view of the fire. The single-lever air control makes dialing in the right burn rate simple for any home's heating needs.
Flexible Combustion Air & Mobile Home Approval
The TN10 freestanding wood stove is capable of drawing both inside and outside combustion air, and it's approved for mobile home installation. An optional 80 cfm convection blower (sold separately) can be added to push more warm air into the room.
Boost Air & Easy Maintenance
Boost air supports stronger startups and reloads, while the catalytic-free design and removable baffle tubes keep routine maintenance straightforward. The stove ships pre-assembled to minimize setup time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the True North TN10 EPA certified?
Yes. The TN10 is EPA 2020 certified with particulate emissions of just 1.4 g/hr, meeting current U.S. clean-air standards for wood heaters. It's also tested and listed to UL 1482 and CAN/ULC S627.
Does the TN10 use a catalytic combustor?
No. The TN10 wood stove uses a catalytic-free tube combustion system. There's no catalyst to clean, monitor, or eventually replace, which keeps long-term operating costs low while still burning clean.
How large an area will the TN10 heat?
With a 0.8 cu.ft. firebox and up to 17,600 BTU of EPA-rated output (30,000 BTU on cord wood), the TN10 is designed for small spaces — cabins, single rooms, and supplemental or zone heating. Actual coverage depends on insulation, climate, and home layout.
Can the True North TN10 be installed in a mobile home?
Yes. The TN10 is mobile-home approved when installed with a listed double-wall connector and an outside combustion air supply, and secured to the structure with the included hold-down brackets.
What size chimney and flue does the TN10 require?
The TN10 uses a 6-inch flue outlet and requires a 6-inch chimney system listed to UL 103 HT (USA) or CAN/ULC S629 (Canada), or a code-approved lined masonry chimney. Minimum system height is 12 feet measured from the top of the appliance.
How long will the TN10 burn on a single load?
Approximate burn times run 4–6 hours, depending on draft, wood species, moisture content, and air-control setting. For longer burns, dry hardwood and unsplit logs are recommended.
Does the TN10 come with a blower?
A blower is optional and sold separately. The 80 CFM convection blower kit (part #31140001) can be added at any time to circulate more warm air into the room.
Is the TN10 hard to install?
The stove ships pre-assembled to simplify setup. As with any wood-burning appliance, installation should follow the manual and local codes — True North and NFI recommend installation by an NFI-certified professional.
