Description
The Kozy Heat Lakefield XL is a large-capacity freestanding direct-vent gas stove built for rooms that need real heat — not just ambiance. With a modulating burner that ranges from 22,000 to 40,000 BTU/hr, a generous 22″ × 16″ viewing area (352 sq in of flame), durable steel construction, and a smart thermostat function that adjusts flame height to match your room temperature, the Lakefield XL is the right answer when a smaller stove won’t heat the space and you want the architectural character of a traditional freestanding stove in your living room, great room, or open-concept main floor.
What Makes the Lakefield XL Different
The modulating burner is the headline feature. Most freestanding gas stoves use single-stage burners — they’re either fully on at one BTU output, or fully off. The Lakefield XL’s burner continuously adjusts between 22,000 and 40,000 BTU/hr (NG) based on your room temperature setting, holding a steady output that matches your actual heating need. On a mild fall evening, it runs at low output. On a cold winter morning, it ramps up. The result: dramatically more consistent room temperature, lower gas consumption, and quieter operation than fixed-BTU stoves.
The Lakefield XL is part of Kozy Heat’s freestanding stove lineup alongside the smaller Oakport 18. Where the Oakport 18 is the smaller, cast-iron, fixed-BTU option for cabins and smaller rooms, the Lakefield XL is the larger, steel-construction, modulating-burner option for spaces that need more heat output and more sophisticated control.
Standard features included with the Lakefield XL:
- Patented Kozy Heat burner and log design — produces a clean, realistic flame with even burn across the firebox; 8-piece traditional log set included
- High-quality ceramic glass — withstands the higher operating temperatures of an all-radiant stove design; preserves clarity over years of heat cycling
- Generous 22″ × 16″ viewing area (352 sq in) — nearly double the viewing area of the smaller Oakport 18, giving more visual presence in the room
- Traditional legs — the classic stove silhouette is standard, not an upgrade
- Standard screen front — adds visual depth and traditional stove character
- Quick-latch glass assembly — makes maintenance and cleaning straightforward
- Steel construction — 207 lbs of durable steel build quality
- Limited Lifetime Warranty — Kozy Heat backs the Lakefield XL with one of the strongest warranties in the gas appliance category
- ANSI Z21.88 certified — Vented Gas Heater certification for safety
