I'm thinking I'm likely half way through my current cat. I'll probably buy two just to have the spare, then always keep two on the shelf.
Hmmm, that's a bit concerning. I'll check with my local dealer and see what he says.
This year, I have transitioned to burning very hot fires (as in nearly full stat) in my Blaze King. This is for two reasons, first, we've had...
I'm burning year number two with my BK. Looks like I better put one on the shelf for next year.
Another cold day today, ready for spring. Still happy with the heat output of this Blaze King 40. It's just a beast!
I have to re-read the manual on this Blaze King 40. I don't remember reading anything in there about a solution wash. Could have though, I might...
Very interesting. I've only done one superficial cleaning of my cat on my Blaze King 40. My wood is also Oak, Maple, and Ash seasoned three...
Must apply to most stoves. Definitely applies to mine!
I would think the Mansfield would be a nice pick. It has the capacity to pump out the heat if you want it to, or, just some small fires with a...
I'm not familiar with the Lopi brands, never seen one of their stoves in action. On my Blaze King 40, to keep my glass clean and "viewable", I...

Perfect, that's all I needed to hear! One chimney is enough!!
So, I've read a bit on the outside air kits, how they enhance efficiency, and it has definitely sparked my interest. Here's my quandary..... My...
Ahhhh, ok. My wood is nearly all white & red oak, some ash. Good info for comparison.
Have you continued this practice of small "hot" fires, loading little bits of wood at a time, more often? Did you notice a shortened cat life by...
You caught me! I saw that typo and edited it, but apparently not before you nailed me!
Ok, I do always open the bypass, but it's only been for maybe 45 seconds or so. I will take your advice and do it this way from here on. Makes a...
Here's what I have going on. This is what's left of two small splits out in the stove about 2 hours ago. Stat has been set to full the whole...
Hmmmmm, are you thinking I will prematurely kill my cat? You still make a very good point though. I will definitely put one on the shelf this...
My small fire is two, may three small 2" to 3" diameter pieces.
