Device.
shall mean areas in a structure open to the general public.
shall mean a device which is designated to burn any form
of solid fuel and includes all of the following:
is a listed assembly of a fire chamber, its chimney and related
factory made parts designed for unit assembly without requiring field
construction and contained within an enclosure.
means an appliance designed for or capable of burning wood,
capable of and intended for domestic space heating which meets the
following criteria:
a factory-built or site-built wood burning appliance whose core
is constructed primarily of manufacturer-built, supplied or specified
masonry materials (i.e., stone, cemented aggregate, clay, tile or
other non-combustible non-metallic solid materials) which weighs at
least 800 kilograms;
the firebox effluent of the masonry heater travels horizontally
and/or downward through one or more heat absorbing masonry duct(s)
for a distance at least the length of the largest single internal
firebox dimension before leaving the masonry heater;
the appliance has one or more air-controlling door(s) for fuel-loading
which are designed to be closed during the combustion of fuel loads,
and which control the entry of combustion air (beyond simple spark
arresting screen(s)) to one or more inlet(s) as prescribed by the
masonry heater manufacturer;
the appliance is assembled in conformance with the Underwriters'
Laboratories-listed and/or manufacturer's specifications for its assembly
and, if the core is constructed with a substantial proportion of materials
not supplied by the manufacturer, is certified by a representative
of the manufacturer to be substantially in conformance with those
specifications;
the appliance has a label permanently affixed to the appliance
identifying its manufacturer and model.
For the purposes of this definition,
Horizontal or downward travel distance is defined as the net
horizontal and/or downward internal duct length, measured from the
top of the uppermost firebox door opening(s) to the exit of the masonry
heater as traveled by any effluent on a single pathway through duct
channel(s) within the heater (or average of net internal duct lengths
for multiple pathways of different lengths, if applicable). Net internal
duct length is measured from center of the internal side or top surface
of a duct, horizontally or vertically to the center of the opposite
side or the bottom surface of the same duct and summed for multiple
ducts or directions on a single pathway, if applicable. For duct channel(s)
traversing horizontal angles of less than ninety degrees from vertical,
only the net actual horizontal distance traveled is included in the
total duct length.
The largest single internal firebox dimension is defined as
the longest of either the length or the width of the firebox, measured
from the hearth to the top of the uppermost firebox door opening(s).
shall mean an open solid fuel burning device that is manufactured
for outdoor use.
means a wood heater which meets the following criteria:
the manufacturer makes no reference to burning cordwood in advertising
or other literature,
the unit is safety listed for pellet fuel only,

of cordwood is prohibited by federal law, and
the unit must be manufactured and sold including a hopper and
auger combination as integral parts.
means a fire chamber, its chimney and related parts, assembled
on-site.
is a wood-fired appliance with a closed fire chamber which
maintains an air to-fuel ratio of less than 30 during the burning
of 90 percent or more of the fuel mass consumed in the low-firing
cycle. The low-firing cycle is less than or equal to 25 percent of
the maximum burn rate achieved with doors closed or the minimum burn
rate achievable that is designed to be free standing.
shall mean an enclosed habitable building in which one or
more than one dwelling or commercial units is present as defined in
the Zoning chapter of the Code of the Town of Mt. Crested Butte, Colorado.
