J.A. Roby Polaris Wood Stove

The J.A. Roby Polaris wood stove shares its firebox performance with the Roby Antares — 70,000 BTU/hr, 500–1,800 sq ft coverage, 75.6% efficiency — but comes in a lower-profile body (33″ tall versus the Antares’ 41-3/8″) and a lighter 266-lb frame, making it the more compact option in J.A. Roby’s lineup. That makes it a good fit for rooms where ceiling clearance or visual bulk matters more than raw capacity.

Firebox dimensions are close to identical to the Antares, with an 18″ maximum log length, so day-to-day loading and burn habits carry over between the two models. A 6″ flue and 12′ minimum chimney height keep installation requirements standard. For homeowners comparing the Roby lineup side by side, the Polaris is the choice when a smaller footprint matters more than extra height.
