Residential Wood Heating Survey
Please fill out the survey that I just posted in a new thread. It is being run by two national labs and the data will be very helpful going...
Truthfully, I received a PM from OP on another site to visit the old thread. I had previously commented several times, earlier in the thread. BKVP
If smoke spills into room when operating any wood stove, it is 99% draft related. 1) IDENTIFY CHALLENGES TO DRAFT a. Elevation b. Tightness of...
Great meeting with EPA on this topic. When it was pointed out that online sellers were selling combustors with none or different formulas of...
To satisfy some, I wrote to Applied Ceramics, the leading supplier to industry. Here is their response, printed with their permission, typos as...
Easy. Email the online seller. Ask them, other than size, are the precious metal coating precisely the same as those on my original combustor?...

The wash coat applied to combustors used in EPA testing is 100% more than assuredly NOT the same as many cats sold online. As a mfg, we can only...
Automotive parts stores will sell a bottle of anti seize. This product is what we use in the manufacturing. After a sweeping, any deposits that...

There is ZERO question that old wood stoves had much higher top end Btu production. We as manufacturers have to design wood heaters to pass a...
The Buck 91 is not typically considered "too small" and is a very capable heater. Are you burning a lot of wood and if so, where is the heat...
We did make a swing down device like yours many years ago. Unfortunately UL ruled against it because it could drop down and hit some on the arm...

I'm hopeful that 3 guys here have made it work. In my 27 years, we've received HUNDREDS of calls from King owners trying it because they read...
And for those that frequent this site, I've got a full card every minute of every day. 4:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. If someone would kindly send me at...
My response didn't post. Minimize duration of time when door is open. Of course you can reload hot. Just do not load wood covered with ice or...
