    Just came over from another site. SHOCKED to not see a single BK thread in the first page of recent treads. I've got nothing against BK....its just the kool aid is getting really thick and the bias is quite obvious. Any suggestion over there that a BK might not be the perfect fit and best stove on the market is a down right sin. Anyhow hoping the bias is minimal here.

    Quick intro - I run a F55 inside, cut mainly maple and ash on my property outside of Grand Rapids MI with a 661 and a 290 (two cement blocks basically) and for some reason find myself reading more than I probably need to about wood stoves and such.

    Welcome. I migrated here for the inviting community and haven’t felt any need to stray very far.

    Welcome. There is a different brand or two of stoves here, all seem to be welcomed, these guys even talk to me and I don't have one yet. Find a stump and enjoy.

    You won't find any of that here!
    Just real, down to earth, fun loving, respectful, helpful people.
    Many of which I now consider family!

    Welcome, Sutphenj14 , to the best forum I've run across yet! Not only are all the folks here friendly and courteous, the combined knowledge pool is vast - I've yet to see a question go unanswered.
    :handshake::thumbs:
    I burn in a Lopi Endeavor, so I know next-to-nothing about BKs, except what I've learned here.

    Timberwolf 2200 blazing away. I find that I’m perhaps the only one here who has the stove like this but its keeping me warm! You’ll find that the good bias is really based on knowledge and I mean true knowledge through experience. There’s a lot of that here. Otherwise it’s best to say theres also good common sense as well. We take out the garbage here too....
