This is a small EPA certified wood stove for spaces ranging from 250-1000sq'. I'd never heard of the company before but they are quite reasonably priced and available at some big box retailers.

The Pyropak, Spark and the Rocket are the smallest residential models (the Hunter is meant for recreational use only).

We installed a Drolet a few years ago and are happy with it.
Draws well and burns very cleanly.

We have a Drolet Eldorado (looks like they have discontinued that model) installed in our 420 sq ft cabin in Minnesota. It looks to be about the size as the current Spark model. Great stove. Much more efficient than the old boxwood stove we started out with.

I bought a used Drolet EPA for the cottage 6 years ago. Quick coat of fresh paint and it has been a fantastic addition. Hooked up outside air to it, really helps the burn as I have 25 feet of pipe on it. It certainly does burn clean.

This was one of our choices when looking for a stove for our bunkie. Ultimately, at 108 square feet, they were all two big to fit in with clearances. We ended up with the Cubic Mini Grizzly for it and it works great. When we build our main cabin, I will probably be back looking at these stoves.

Drolet & several other "brand labels" are owned by SBI International out of Montreal. These companies & labels have been in business for a few decades now and as SBI expanded and bought them up, they incorporated the best of the designs etc...
My woodstove is a "Flame Energy" EPA model which is also from SBI and absolutely love it... well made and no problems or quirks like I've had previously with other brands.

I installed a droplet in my sauna a few years ago. Not sure the model. I've been very impressed with it....burns well and when tampered down, wood lasts a long time. I was lucky enough to find it on Kijijij brand new for $300. The guy I bought it from worked at TSC and got it on a warehouse sale. He was going to use it in a mobile home but thought better of it. Ours has a nice flat top I can put a big pot of water on for the sauna or I have a heavy tray with rocks I can steam water on. Been very impressed!

I have the pyropak in my 450 sq ft cabin. It works great. Good draw. You gotta make small logs though to fit in ... but otherwise i love it. Worked great for the last 2 years but i don't do a lot of fires.
